OCI process

[sguru01]

Hi All, I have a question in online OCI registration application part B. For the question below:
Have you/any member of your family applied for Overseas Citizen of India registration earlier?

As my sister applied for OCI couple of years back and received it, do I need to provide her details? I am not applying my OCI through her. Can I answer no for this question? or do I have to provide her details? I was under the impression this question was more meant for immediate family members, such as spouse, kids, and not the siblings. Please advise, thanks!

Check on BLS tracker, sometimes it gets skipped and BLS picks it up.

This is still the same status. Not yet received in Toronto. BLS says they have no visibility on applications not yet received.
What to do next? Its been more than 2 weeks that it is dispatched from MEA.

If you have her OCI details no harm adding it. If you don't, skip it

You can either wait or drop an email to consulate.

You have the option to include your sister's details or leave them out. Either way, it won't impact your application
