Smooth process
From the time of application to receipt of OCI card it took me 50 days. I downloaded the FAQ and sample application and collected all needed documents before I started my application online. I completed the application at CKGS and Indian government web site on a weekend without a break. This was to avoid issues some had in their inability to connect the two accounts. The only time consuming part of the application was to use "paint" application to resize my photo and signature. I have two country citizenship. The government application form is not designed to accommodate that. The form did not give me an opportunity to enter my citizenship prior to the US one and the default previous country was India. The form thus did not give me an opportunity to ask me to upload my born in India birth certificate. Anyway, I included that information in the uploaded file and also mentioned my Indian bonafide. I had a deemed renunciation certificate so I did not have to send in my Indian passport. I gave up my Indian citizenship a few decades back and I do not have my Indian passport. Happy to get a life time OCI card. Can anyone with an OCI card please tell me i can now enter Indian immigration queue for Indian citizens or would I need to go through the foreigner's line?
