bhai, on a serious note

If the phone is used for multiple bookings it ends up restricting the next booking for a period of 24 hrs

I tried to book an appointment just now to test if there is an outage. It seems to be working fine

I am applying for OCI on "Self" basis. i.e. I am previous passport holder of India. But in the list of documents to upload I am seeing "JOINT DECLARATION OF SUBSISTING OF MARRIAGE" and "RELATIONSHIP CERTIFICATE". Can i ignore these and submit my application ?

Also I believe i should upload my COPR in "INDIAN VISA" section. Can someone confirm if this is true ?

You can ignore this
No need to include CoPR in the India Visa. I am aware the BLS has told this to some applicants before but it is not required

You msg starts with application for minor and jumps right in about your spouse’s Canadian passport?
Are these two queries connected ?

 

[sgvlead]

For OCI, if application is submitted in walk-in ( Toronto ), how long will it take to get the OCI card ? Please let me know the average time frame.

 

[aphermix]

I am filling OCI form and noticed the below field in the first page right after Canadian passport details, which is confusing as per the instruction provided

Previous Passport Number: The instructions say box on the form says - "As per Indian Passport or Birth Certificate"

Should I fill in my old Indian Passport details here ? I never had an old Canadian passport
