Thank you so much buddy!Consulate/MEA takes around 3 weeks after you have submitted at BLS to reflect status.

I think it would sense to keep it same envelope else not sure how your surrender certificate will get processed first. When i did it in BLS (walk in) first was surrender certificate and then entry visa (processed by 2 different people)Hi guys, when you give your applications at the processing counter in BLS, what is the order they collect applications?
1) Surrender certificate
2) Entry visa
Do they collect and put both together or separate? I need to mail in for a single applicant. I just need to know whether I can mail those together or should be separate.
Hi - Thanks for response.who is asking to submit citizenship certificate?
Iam talking based on recent walk in experience and generally old Indian passport only is submitted. One or two cases BLS asks to submit surrender certificate instead of passport. Have not heard of canadian passport or citizenship certificate held. If iam wrong other experienced members please clarify
Also in postal submission no originals are required is my understanding. i have no experience. Other members please clarify if iam wrong
Is there anything specific you want to know?. Lot of people have already provided the details and my experience is not much different.Hi - Thanks for response.
So, I saw in BLS check list - they have all originals in checklist.
By any chance, have you got your OCI application submitted? If so, may I ask what was your experience on this?
If you can, get a official letter from your employerhi all,
i was preparing for OCI application.. and it ask for Work letter... can i just upload my resume or should i ask HR for an official employment letter ?
sorry if this is a repeat question.. read a few pages and couldn't find anything around this.

As @delray55 said, to be on the safe side, get a letter from HR if possible. Otherwise a self declaration will also work.If you can, get a official letter from your employer
Else alternate option is to provide a explanation letter about your employment (self declaration and signed) and add 3 months latest paystubs
i just spoke to HR.. they have a standard format.. which mentions Company name, job Tile, joining date and current salary.. company seal and sign of courseIf you can, get a official letter from your employer

Yes. Standard letter is enough.i just spoke to HR.. they have a standard format.. which mentions Company name, job Tile, joining date and current salary.. company seal and sign of course
she says it does not talk about roles and responsibility like a resume.. will that be ok ?
thank you so much.. one more question.. do we have to upload a picture to the online application ?Yes. Standard letter is enough.
I think the original intention of the detail being asked (its even printed on the OCI booklet) is to find out if a person is working in Govt/Military/Sensitive occupations in foreign country. If a person is involved in anyof above i think further documentation/approvals are needed.As @delray55 said, to be on the safe side, get a letter from HR if possible. Otherwise a self declaration will also work.
But, in my case, I did not submit anything, and I got my OCI just the same. I was lucky and got a decent rep at the BLS counter and she did not ask for nor even mention an employment letter, so I did not upload nor did I submit one.
Both. You need to upload a picture on the online portal and include a copy of the photograph with the application form. I included two copies of my photograph and BLS returned one when they sent me back my original documents. Cheers!do we have to upload a picture to the online OCI application ?
or is it like surrender where we can paste a photo after filling the application ?
