Finally received OCI in the mail today 10th nov.

You're supposed to surrender your Indian Passport IMMEDIATELY after taking up another citizenship. At no times are you allowed to have an Indian Passport with another passport while travelling. You might be stopped from travelling and may even face penalties.

Yes that checklist is incorrect. It seem like they did not update it properly. I checked with the BLS and only sent self attested copies of those documents. No originals were required. My OCI application has been acknowledged and under process in the OCI website. So it has passed the documents...

Presently they are taking around 11 months to process.

I'm landing June 28.

The reason the duration has increased is probably due to the recent announcement where they have committed to increase the number of refugee intakes for 2016 to 44,000.

My bad for mentioning AOR, it was a query from an applicant from July.

A July applicant got AOR yesterday with the message that NSOI are currently taking around 11 months to process an application. Please be mindful of that. Have pasted snippet from that mail below -- Thank you for your e-mail. We can confirm your file was received on July 29, 2015. You will...
