PROBLEM IN OCI APPLICATION online form
While i am processing for OCI card online, after successful submission, my print out shows Whether Holding dual nationality as "Yes". first I thought it was my entry mistake and did a 2nd one. This time I and my brother had make sure our entry on the 11th question Whether Holding dual nationality as "NO" (if you enter yes it will prompt for a field to enter.)
we printed the PDF online application form after final submit. The print out shows "YES" again.
Do anyone from Canada have the same experience and how you solved the issue.
please help

OCI Minor - VFS Inconsistent Rules
This is my second OCI application (second kid).
First one was pretty smooth. Got the card in about 6 weeks.
Here are some details about this one an issues I am facing.

April 6- Shipped All documents
April 7 Received by VFS
April 8- Additional documents required- Address proof not acceptable

I live in an unincorporated area where USPS does not deliver to home addresses to everyone needs to take a mail box. Since VFS does not take PO box as proof.
All my utilities and mails have PO BOX address on them. I called VFS and asked if Deed of the house would work, since it is a public document with home address and my name on it it.
They said yes but came back now with unacceptable.

Fun fact- I have also applied for my passport renewal with same address proof and it was fine - they accepted it.
These guys are weird
Anyways Escalated the issue with them and waiting for response.

Thanks

Tip: When you have a question around documents, call the VFS Hotline, pay few bucks and get direct/clear information rather than googling, as instructions change a lot since the onset of pandemic. It's not worth your time guessing and waiting on the slow process.

OCI MINOR
I applied for my US born child through my indian citizenship. They emailed me asking for my US born husband's passport. He has lost his expired passport and only has a front copy of it. Renewal will take atleast 5 weeks. I don't want the oci rejected by that time. I need to travel to see my I'll father this summer.
What can I do in this situation?
