First of all I want to thank Suja Prakash for a very clear set of information. Thank you so much for taking the time to do this. I just completed the process of updating my passport details in relation to my OCI card. I found the following useful for anyone else who may be doing this 1)do not include any numbers with your image file name - I had some issues but when I changed the name to image and signature it worked 2)you will need your current OCI reference number- you can find that on the back page of your OCI card 3)if you are naturalized as a foreign citizen you will need that date on hand. Otherwise the process was smooth.
Thanks. Can someone please clear my doubt on this: Does my signature in OCI have to match with the current U.S Passport's signature? Please let me know.
Hi! Suja Thank you for your informative video. My Oci was issued when I was 59 and I have been issued two new passports since that time.Would I need to update my passport details or not your feedback would be much appreciated.kind regards
Excellent Video! I am UK citizen and got a new passport last month so I updated as per your video. But I did so 2 weeks ago and only saw your video today! Where it asks “Have you or any member of your family applied for OCI registration earlier” I thought it relates to a recent application, so I said NO. your video suggests that I need to say YES and put details of when I for OCI card 7 years ago. So will my application to update details be rejected?
She said near the start of the video you only need to update the passport details upto age 20 and then after 50 when you get new passport. So if you got your OCI after the age of 20, there is no requirement to upload your new passport details untill your over 50 and even then when you get a new passport. That's how im hearing it. Is this correct. Also in part B i did the same for my kids and clicked no on all the questions. Very repetitive!
HI Suja, Could you please let me know, How I can check that my new passport no is updated in OCI. I don't want to face the situation If I am on airport and authority told me your OCI and new Passport are linked. I have checked the status but even that does not provide that information that new passport updated. I am not able to save or take the print out of file which I have submitted. Thanks for provide step by step details to update new Passport.
@@SujaPrakash now the status is "Your application is yet to be acknowledged by competent authorities." I hope it will take 7 days to update passport no in OCI. and I can see the updated passport no online. Could you please suggest how it will confirm that new passport no is updated.
@@SujaPrakash Kindly please suggest me how It would confirm that my new passport is updated or linked with OCI. Coz I have OCI card with old passport no and I have to travel urgently to India. I don't want to face any situation at airport that OCI is not linked with new passport. So that I want confirm mail or updated document so that I can show it to authority. I have received the mail with below statement: "Thank you for completing Part-B of OCI- Application on 14/Nov/2021. Your File-number is ITAM00000U21 for all future reference." I am not able to take print of this file no. My query is how I can confirm that my new passport is linked with OCI before purchase the ticket. Please solve my this doubt so that I can stress out for 4 to 5 weeks till it complete the procedure. Thanks
Hi Suja. Great video. I had a question regarding the application for miscellaneous OCI. I inputted some incorrect information in the acquisition section where I put " other" rather that "naturalisation" - do you happen to know if this will be an issue during submission. Or would you suggest a reapplication? The documents have been uploaded successful and I have received the acknowledgement email to say it is being assessed. Its worth mentioning that I didn't get a prompt to print after submission, nor a prompt to set up an appointment and payment. Sorry, I appreciate this is quite a long question, but any advice and guidance would be great.
Thank you Suja I really appreciate. I check the renewal status report showing for last few days showing application has been acknowledgement by competent authorities. it is under consideration. Is this normal message or a problem.
Beautifully explained. Could not have done it without you. One thing. After repeated failures, we called VFS and were told to use Firefox as our browser instead of Google Chrome. I cleaned out the history in Google including cookies and downloaded Firefox. Success! Thanks again!
At 8:29 time in your video, where the question is "Have you/any member of your family applied for OCI ..", I need to enter the myself and also my children whose OCIs were applied for 15 years ago. How can I get their "Reference Number" (I DO have their OCI book).
do they need fingerprint original too? we took it in rough papers and cut the bad ones and took the good one and attached it in file ..now i dont have the same fingerprint -- if i take it from the digital copy print it doesnt looks the same instead it looks bigger than what we took it . what to do
long time I was talking about the file is not open to upload the images and all. Its not opening as the pass was renew on 2013 and updating now for the OCI
Hi Suja, Very well done. I particularly liked that you took me screen by screen and also explained what to enter. For example, in the question about anyone else applied for OCI in the family, I would never have guessed I have to put my name and then put SELF. Great Job. I DO have some questions that will post after this.
I have been researching some of the information for OCI card Vs etourist visa for the Minor. Excellent video, kudos for your hard work and the detailed explanation. With this new guideline in place I think going for OCI card would be the best route for the minor. Thank you again for the great video. Appreciated.
Thank you for such an informative video. It helped me tremendously. One thing I want to note is when doing this for a minor, I selected 'OTHERS' in occupation & 'Minor' in occupation details, I kept getting error on submit that employer address can't be empty and on the page it would show occupation as 'WRITER' and the Country at the top would be empty. After 3 tries, I chose 'STUDENT' as occupation and that went away. Since my kids are in school it made sense. I hope it helps others. I'm not sure what one would do if the minor is a baby. Thank you again for explaining the steps so well.
I have question because they asking regarding about the document NOC of my husband and marriage certificate how to upload if updating only the info in my OCI?
Suja, could you please let me know once the OCI is updated with renewed Passport details after reaching 50 years, are we going to receive a new OCI card? As per my OCI Status-Report, my "details have been updated in OCI records", however I have still not received my new OCI card. I have not yet received their response too. Highly appreciate if someone can respond to this. THANKS.
I do the same and I followed the same procedure you told but they did not asked me any other document but in rejection mail the asked for declaration form in pdf format that my wife is married to Indian man etc
I have my 12 years old child who has a OCI. The OCI was issues on his first passport since than he now has 2 passports, recently I updated the passport details on the OCI Mis portal and application is under process it says can I still travel with his old OCI and will I be block at any point of my travel. Also the OCI passport update do we get any email confirmation about it or some print to show the Airline at origin if they ask for recent OCI .
Hi, I was not able to upload the passport . It kept giving me an error message . How do I go back my old application ? I have the file number . I tried , it says that application number doesn’t exist
Sometimes when I go to India from USA via Europe, in Europe before I board the flight to India(say Lufthansa etc), they compare the latest US Passport number I have with the passport number that is in the OCI. SO, even if I update my new passport number using this procedure, the passport number in the OCI is still old. So, how do I manage this situation?
Hi, I have recevied only the submission acknowledgment via email. I checked the status few weeks later and my new details have been updated in OCI records. But I have not received any other acknowledgement for updation. Which proof I can take with me at the airport with my existing OCI Card?. Please clarify. Thanks.
renewal process is same for both minor/ adult .if there is any personal particular change you can follow the same steps with some extra documents like parental authrorization form etc
Hi I am confused about oci reference number where I can find that, I alreday have oci card I am applying for my daughter's oci card. I am also updating new passport ino now it is asking oci number. Where to find that?
Can you please tell me that there is a Gratis and chrageable service. The charageable is over 20 and over 50 is the gratis service. I have been told that if you are over 20 you will need to make a VFS Global appoibtnent but not for over 50. Can you be clinical and provide an explanation about this thank you.
Case type: existing OCI card holder wishes to update/upload the latest information about my son's latest passport. I filled Part A and Part B successfully. Photo and signature uploaded successfully. However on the document upload page, in spite of uploading the passport document (< 1000 KB), I do not see a Final Submit button. I only see 'Exit' button. On clicking Exit, I get a message that I have not uploaded all the documents (even though it shows the passport is uploaded). Not sure how to proceed.
Hi Suja, please help me. I had filled up my miscellaneous OCI application form to update my passport details. They have rejected it on the basis of address details and said that I need to reapply oci. My oci was issued in Germany and now I am in UK. Cani refill the new miscellaneous form and update the address as well as new passport. Please advise what I should do as I do not want to reapply new oci. I have also completed 50 years. Thank
My application got crashed after uploading the photos, I forgot to note down the reference no. Now I am unable to update or drop the existing one Is there any way to fix it ?
Madam you are doing best work for peoples lives in USA . I updated my OCI with the help of your Clean n simple language video.👍👍🙏🙏🇮🇳🇮🇳
This is the most Informative OCI detail I have seen so far. Thank you Suja, appreciated.
