Jeffa:

I just heard the same from wotSA-pp too. Technically thats correct

If you open their site, prepare the application, the fees would be decided. Once you are done the application process online, there is no new fee collection etc. Technically you have applied. Only the process(of sending docs etc) would follow further.
But if you open their site on or after 1st jan, the fee shown would be different...




Now the site pop-up also has same info.

Hope Jodha sees the mesg and fill it

They changed rules. Just submit both with ckgs and Govt website before 31st. Documents can be dispatched later.

I think I did a sweet mistake by including the ORIGINAL PIO(it it goes wrong, it would become a hot mistake though).
As per the documents check list, I have included the original PIO card in the application. CKGS sent an email that I have given extra documents(which is original PIO card). come and collect it on XYZ date and time. I have replied saying that " I have submitted it as per the document check list. Keep it with you till you need it."
When I am checking, in the work flow, once the PIO card is approved, they will ask us to ship the original PIO card(as per their tracking steps online). Which is already with them. So, the sweet part is that, this bunch of sending the original PIO is not required. The hot part is if they lose the original PIOs in the mean time :-) lets see..

Goonda:

the notary person said that she can't notarize any govt copies, its the rules andhi..


if not govt copies, what else should notarize... where did she get the license from.. ask her to fill the water full of a table spoon to jump into..
Any original doc should be verified with its copy and notarize it.

Best bet for you is to get the passport copy notarized today and drop it in the post (easy fix) ASAP. Matter of total $5 or less.

Dont include original PIO card for SFO. I just got a mail to come and collect this as I have included it as an excess document. (this is not true as their checklist clearly mentions to include the original PIO card).

Acf:

once we fill the application and upload documents on gov site, i linked my gov reference no with the ckgs ref. no and after that there is nothing to fill out on ckgs site? i got to the page to print fed ex page after linking.

In the document check list it says OCI application is that the OCI Registration form from gov site?

PIO Card 01 Original & Self attested <--- What does this mean? Do parents have to sign the PIO copies? or need parents signature along with notary?



1) After you get Govt final application PDF, keep a copy of it, you cant get it from ckgs my account page again. Once you stick in the Govt form number into the CKGS, you are prettymuch done.
2)Yes, OCI application is the one chocked out of the Government Web Site.
3) Take copies of PIO first, last pages( I did it so that total 4 pages comes on two papers), write //Self Attested and sign(you and your lovely wife both) on the white part next to the photocopies on both the papers. Also include the original OCI card, pack it nicely and clap twice.. you are done with that part.

FedEx ki pay chesi kuuda ,chesedhi correct o_O kaadhoo teliyaka driving to ckgs to drop off today. it's the most stressful prpcess anipinchindhi. 2 yrs back started the process but failed every time and postponed.




i concur with everything.. multiple times start chesi stop chesa process in the last 1.5 yrs prathi sari chiraakochhi.. ippudu deadline valla cheyyalsosthondi last ki.. NY lo walk-in slots levu until 29th.. so shipping without complete confidence that it'll be done in one go without resubmissions, etc..

With effect from October 2018, International Civil Aviation Organization will accept only machine readable travel documents and hence the existing PIO cards will become invalid . All PIO Card holders are, therefore, requested to apply for converting their existing hand written PIO Cards into machine readable OCI Cards.

2009:

Do I need to submit Original PIO card with the initial set of documents along with the application or Do I send it in the 2nd shipment when they ask for originals to submit.




At last I've shipped our kid's last Friday. Yes, I did include the original PIOs in the first shipment. In any event, eventually we need to give the original PIO cards (at least in the Match-up stage) as the new PIO nullifies the existing OCI.

I was reluctant to apply this time also but home department pressured to get it out.
Also I did one of our kid's passport renewal before this application as if I need to re-apply for OCI (after issuing it) if the underlying passport gets renewed..
If you are on fence, better getting it out.

The packet must be DELIVERED (not just shipping enough) before 29th Dec.

The Government of India will charge a revised consular fee of US $275.00 for issuance of OCI in lieu of PIO Card from January 1, 2018 onwards. ICWF Fees & CKGS Service Fees will be charged over and above the government fee. Therefore, any application received AFTER December 29, 2017 will be charged with the revised fee of US $275.00

For Applications submitted to CKGS ON or PRIOR to December 29, 2017 GRATIS FEE will be applicable as the consular fees if your application is at any of the stages below:
Received at CKGS
At verification stage
On hold for Incomplete documents before the application was submitted to Embassy / Consulate
On hold for Incomplete documents after the application was submitted to Embassy / Consulate
For all applications submitted to CKGS AFTER December 29, 2017, REVISED FEES WILL BE APPLICABLE.
