Update: Passport ready For Dispatch after OCI stamping (BLS website)
OCI process
- Thread starter blueshirt
- Start date
My Kid already has an OCI based on previous passport that had first name and last name in it - This was the same as the passport previously issued and did not include the middle name then.
Eg -
Son's first name - Sanjay, Middle Name - Anish, last name - Mishra
Passport and OCI details -
Given Name - Sanjay
Surname - Mishra
However in the latest Canadian passport my kids middle name was added as it was in the Canadian birth certificate. Now the passport reads
Eg-
Given Name - Sanjay Anish
Surname - Mishra
Question is
- Do i need to update and reissue my kid's OCI as the name in OCI does not match the latest passport anymore?
- If i need to update the name - what service should i opt for? Is it OCI misc service?
- What documents do i need to provide in this case ?
Any advise is appreciated.
Thanks in advance !

Yes, you can. There is no rule that stops you from applying eVisa while OCI in-progress.
What is the acknowledgment date I see in the posts here? Is it the date I can start tracking using the file number in https://ociservices.gov.in/ ?
Another update!
Any idea when I can expect it home?

Hi,
For OCI form filling, I have question.
My wife is currently unemployed due to job lay off.
1) Now how to fill details like Employer Name, Employer Phone etc. ?
2) For submitting Letter of Employment, her last job letter won’t work, right? What should be attached there?
3) Her Designation was “Front End Developer” but if we mention “Unemployed” on OCI form then will it be printed as Unemployed on OCI card?
She is actively seeking job & meanwhile doing Freelance Work, but not sure if that should be mentioned on OCI form?
Any help regarding above will be appreciated.
TIA

Mention Unemployed on OCI form. I am employed yet BLS folks put it as unemployed as my employment is outside Canada. Even though I could present my employment details to them like employment letter, payslips etc. BLS rejected my form and they filled up new form (premium lounge).
