OCI process

[Meetamera naam]

Thanks! Did you have to re-submit new application with draft and everything with pictures?

Yes. They returned it as it is. Mine is postal application. So I applied it again and now it us under process at cgi

When i applied the oci for the first time of my minor child it got rejected because some signatures were missing and got the email as well. Maybe in your case if they are returning your application you will get the email. I called them as well and they told me the same thing. So you can try to call them

Who returned your application BLS or consulate?? I applied for miscellaneous services (re-new) of oci. On OCI site application status is under process till 27 July.

Is there usually a delay in OCI application status update on BLS website? For my application BLS still shows Processing at Consulate General" whereas OCI tracking website shows "Processed on Aug 25th" with details of my OCI number

Hi there, could you please share your walk-in experience. I am planning to go to the Toronto center since its nearby however I have heard that Brampton location is better as compared to Toronto for walk-ins. Thanks

By walk-in, do you mean with or without appointment? If you go to the Toronto location with an appointment prior to 9 am, you can easily get done in an hour or two.

Without appointment, you will have to line up super early (6 am or so) and wait till you get a chance to go in. It can take upto 2 pm to be able to get in (that is if they even allow you to go in).

I’ve done both with and without appointment and I would highly recommend going in with an appointment.

Hi a question,

Is OCI provided to an Indian whose citizenship is terminated by acquiring citizenship of another country?

Citizenship Amendment Act 1986

―9. Termination of citizenship: (1) Any citizen of India, who by naturalisation, registration otherwise voluntarily acquires, or has at any time between the 26th January 1960 and the commencement of this Act, voluntarily acquired the citizenship of another country shall, upon such acquisition or, as the case may be, such commencement, cease to be a citizen of India.

Provided that nothing in this sub-section shall apply to a citizen of India who, during any war in which India may be engaged, voluntarily acquires, the citizenship of another country, until the Central Government otherwise directs.

(2) If any question arises as to whether, when or how many citizen of India has acquired the citizenship of another country, it shall be determined by such authority, in such manner, and having regard to such rules of evidence, as may be prescribed in this behalf.‖

Thank you
