Hi Seniors,
1) When we upload our documents for new OCI application ,do we need to upload all the pdf files (other than Signature and photo) in one file ?
OR
do we need to upload each pdf file in its own category ?
I mean do we have different categories for uploading CAD Passport , Indian PP, Landing paper ,Marriage Cert etc ?
OR do we need to make one PDF file for all the docs and upload one file ?
2) Which categories do we upload the Citizenship certifcate and Driving Licence (Address proof)
3) One of my file is more than 1 MB even after reduction in size.In the doc checklist it is mentioned that the max file size should be 500KB.
Did anyone face such issue ? How did you handle it ?
1.) Multiple documents needs combine for reach categories as per the checklist
instruction - B) DOCUMENT UPLOADING INSTRUCTIONS
For example, when you are uploading documents under INDIAN VISA category
for your minor child born in India, you need to upload a single PDF file that has
total x pages containing your child landing paper + your landing paper + your spouse landing paper+
Refugee Board letter and Notarized affidavit as well for both parents (Only if immigration category is FC ).
2.) Please refer checklist item B) DOCUMENT UPLOADING INSTRUCTIONS , If these docs is asked under some category which is applicable for you then only upload.
3.)Even though it is saying max 500KB , In my experience it will take up to 1MB or more , Try uploading it.
Also don't add any unnecessary documents, strictly follow checklist item B) DOCUMENT UPLOADING INSTRUCTIONS
for documents need for each category.
Use PDF compress online tools ,if you need to reduce file size, check the quality after compress , document it should be readable.
