Thank you Suja.. Since this is newly added, have anyone verified with VFS if the format is right?
Thank you Suja
@@TheSamreshsingh I submitted a consent letter a few days ago for myself with almost the same details and it was accepted by VFS. So the format posted by Suja is perfect!
Is a consent letter required for a new application for an OCI minor or only require if there are mistakes in the existing OCI card?
It’s listed in the checklist, so you have to send one with the application package
This was insanely helpful, the OCI websites and language couldn't be more convoluted and the portal technologies more archaic and buggy. It was useful to watch this video, prep all documents first and then apply.
Hello Suja, Just coming back here to say heartfelt "Thank you" for this video. It helped us tremendously during stressful time last month . For both our minor daughters we received our OCI in less than 3 weeks. Thank you again and we really appreciate it
Glad it was helpful .. thank you so much for coming back and mentioning it 🙏🏻
May I know to which consulate that you have applied for?Me too applying
please let me know how did you get thumb impression pic with right specification. This process is such outdated
@@sujitforyou hi I took our daughters thumb print On a white printer paper scanned it into a jpg open it in paint and select rectangular area around the thumb print area to the specification ( pixel value) then cut and save it as jpg. Should be good to upload
@@sj4392 Thanks
Thank you very much for compiling these instructions. The online form is crazy and I made several corrections after watching your video. You have saved me tons of headache with VFS.
Thank you so much. I was able to follow the steps and get OCI Card for my family including my minor kid. Very informative and detailed. Appreciate you uploading the video.
Thank you so much for this video. Applied exactly as guided in this video and received my kid’s oci in 3 weeks in first shot.
Glad it was helpful
From Which centre
Hi @madhuri- 4:34- APPLICANT IMAGE AND SIGNATURE- HERE WE NEED TO UPLOAD BABY'S IMAGE? OR THE PERSON WHO IS APPLYING FOR BABY PASSPORT(FATHER/MOTHER)? IF BABY'S IMAGE, THEN SIGNATURE FOR < 5 YEAR BABY OR PARENT SIGNATURE?
@@navleenkaur1673 New York
@@rohitbhatt7949 Hi Rohit, for 4:34, need to upload baby image as per dimensions mentioned and baby’s thumbprint if baby is less than 5years age
Thank you so much ma’am thank you for taking out your time to help. We were very confused and this video helped us a lot. God bless you and your family, will tell everyone of this video and channel
Thank you so much.. this means a lot
@@SujaPrakash hi Suja. Thanks for this wonderful video. I have couple of questions(1 ) my spouse I797C is under processing so we dnt have final action for my spouse but I have approved I797. We were in J1-J2 visa which are expired , so do I need to upload all four documents ( J1,J2 visa stamp, I797 current?) is pending I797C is good to go?
2. Is there any requirement to apply OCI for minor within one year of DOB?
Helpful video. Thank you
@@SujaPrakash I couldn't create vfs account access
Thank you so much. This video was the complete end to end instructions you will need to apply for an OCI. Your effort is much appreciated.
Thank you
Informative and thorough. Each and every minute thing is covered. I don't think you need to watch any other video after watching this.
Hello Suja. very informative video. The process is pretty confusing while checking directly on the website and your video makes it pretty simple to follow (including the skipping of multiple notary visits). Appreciate your diligence and your support via replies to everybody's questions. kudos :)
Its needlessly complicated. indian govt. must fix. Just another unfulfilled wish.

Self attest all the paper documents?
Or only the American passport?
Please replay me ASAP
Best video I could find, which explains details perfectly. Thank you
Thank you so much Suja. The details instructions for applying OCI in this recording are really helpful. Appreciate it.
Hi Suja , Thank you so much for uploading this video. You have covered every single details very nicely. I have quick question. My son is born here and he is still under 5 years. When you mentioned, self attest all the documents, did you mean parents would self attest for minor's documents ?
Yes
@@SujaPrakash Thank you 😊
Hi, thanks for the video it’s really helpful. Do we need to apostle birth certificate ?
No
@@SujaPrakash It says the following on the site,Can you please let us know if it needs to be apostled or not required
Instructions for Relationship-certificate upload
* Scan and upload the array of birth certificates from the applicant to parents/grand parents.
* Birth certificate issued from a competent authority is only acceptable.
* Foreign issued birth certificate is to be get apostle/authenticated.
* Scan and upload the apostle/authentication stamp page also.
You really helped thousand of ppl. Very clear video with minute details. You made our lives easy.
Suja ji this a great service by you. I really appreciate people share this video to friends in need to avoid stalling the process by vfs. Keep up the good work mam👏🙏
Thank you so much for this video. This was so detailed and made so easy for me to collate all the steps. One last question please, I hope we don't have to send original passport copies with this application for Minor's OCI application?
Yes , no need to send original passport
Thanks for the video. Do we need to send notarized or self attested by minor copy of passport?
@@tippuanna I too have the same question. self attested by new born minor? @Suja - Can you please clarify this? Thanks.
@@jayabaltn I have gone through the other vide of her and comments section here, which says attestation by one of the parent is enough. Suja Prakash can confirm
Either of parents can self attest
Video is much elaborated and explained in précised way. Thankyou .
I have a query - I have uploaded the documents however in OCI Document Upload/ Re-upload section , I do observe only Exit button . Not able to view Final Submit button . Please assist me. Thanks in advance.
I am getting the same. Not seeing generate form button. Did you find the solution by any chance?
I faced the same issue. So. I went ahead and uploaded the current passport for rest of the documents (renunciation, naturalization, ...). It seems there is a bug in their website requiring all documents to be uploaded, even those which are not applicable to the application.
@@rebelcreations Thanks for your reply. Did they say anything for that? Did you get OCI?
@@thiyagvit I was also facing the same problem. But then I found the option Re-print Submitted application in the Main Menu. I think it should be enough. We can generate the document from there. Also it's written that your application is already complete etc., once you login with that option. I am yet to submit the physical application, but going ahead with this.
Appreciate your help in making and sharing this video. This will definitely help to understand the OCI process and how to apply it. Thanks!
Thank you
Thank you so much Suja for creating and uploading one stop video for complete OCI process. This very helpful.
Hi Suja, thanks alot for your step by step guidance. Got my new born US kid OCI today. Keep up the good work! 👍
Very well made video. You are helping a lot of people, thank you.
Thank you so much Suja.. really helpful! Appreciate your efforts to put in all together very clearly :)
Thanks Suja for this video and timely replies. Helped a lot. Received OCI today. It took exactly one month!
Glad it was helpful
I just received my son's OCI card. Thank you Suja for the video and answering the questions in the comments.
Thank you for creating such an elaborated video. It made the entire application process hassle free.
Glad it was helpful
Thank you so much! you saved lot of my time. Great job!
Hi Suja. Thanks for the detailed video. Just to summarize on the notarization for minors we need to notarize only the parental authorization form and application form right? Been seeing too many confused statements about it and wanted to double check on it. Your the best person to answer this so thought will ask you. Copy of parents Passports and copy of minor PP need to only be self attested?
Wow... Thanks Suja.. Really appreciate you taking the time to show the steps involved in applying for an OCI. I am sure everyone here will concur that the steps given on OCI website, VFS Website is super confusing.. I almost completed my son's application and realized that I did a mistake after looking at your video and will start over now.. without your video the application would have been rejected.. Thank you. I wish VFS was as clear as you about the application process.
Glad it was helpful!
Hello Suja, Thank you for making this video. You have really explained in detail and made process simple. We received OCI for our little one in five weeks. Thank you once again.
Thank you .. glad it was helpful
Hello Suja. Very helpful video. You made it look very easy and simple. Thanks!
Such a helpful video. Thanks @SujaPrakash for uploading such videos.
Hi Suja..This video helped me a lot to finish my kid's OCI application. Thank you very much for uploading this video. I received my OCI after 55 days. You have provided all step by step instructions to finish the form and submit it. Good work..keep it up!!
Thank you , glad it was helpful
It’s been 4 weeks since we applied for my kid, but no updates. How to contact vfs for updates?

This video has been so helpful, thank you
Thank you so much for the detailed instructions. Appreciate your help.
Very helpful. Thank you Suja. Much appreciated.
Thank you.. was waiting for your video only...
Thanks
Thank you Suja! This detailed video was of great help.
Thank you
Thank you Suja! I received the OCI card for my child within 4 weeks without any issues. Great job! 👏
Thank you 🙏🏻
Are they giving it till the child's 20th birthday or is it valid only till the passport expiry date? I read in an article that from this year they are changing the rule so that oci will expire on the child's 20th birthday. Can you please confirm?
Hello @Sri Divya , which mission/embassy did you submit to?
Hi suja, i received my son's OCI in 6 weeks. Thank you so much for the great video and also answering all the questions I asked . Thanks a lot !!
Hi Suja, thank you so much for this video. Quick question, the checklist itself needs to be signed by the applicant. In case of minor should we put the thumbprint or can parent sign there?
wow ! This is so useful.. Excellent video.. Thank you!!
Thank you so much for making this amazing video. It was really really helpful for me to fill the OCI application.👏👍
I received with in 4 weeks,Thankyou Soo much suja garu this video is very helpful,I follow all steps whatever says in video,thank you again god bless you and your family.
Thank you so much .. glad this was helpful
Hi Suja, This video is super helpful in filling out the application for minor. I had a question: when we final submit the application after uploading the supporting documents, on page 2, there is a blank form in which the fields are similar to the page 1 . Do we have to fill it manually?
Thank you for making this video. It was super helpful.
Great video Suja. Thank you very much for your hard work
Thank you so much 🙂
Thanks Suja it was very helpful ..Just curious do we have to self attest every document that we have to upload ?
Hi Suja, thanks for the informative video. It clarified many of my doubts. One question, when we upload the Applicant's Signature, it can be left thumb impression (my son is below 5 years)?!
Very helpful! Thanks!
Hi Suja. Thank you for detailed video. Should the thumbprint for minor be the same when we do the upload first and then in the Registration form?
Great video with all the details and to the point details.
This was very helpful, thank you!
Thank you Suja for making this. Really helpful. Do we need to self-attest copies and upload as well or just send these with documents to local mission? Also when self-attesting do we need to write ‘self-attested’ and sign or just sign is fine. Thank you in advance.
Self attest only the physical documents, just a sign below the documents is enough
I received my kids OCI card in 42 days.
Thank you so much Suja🙏🙏 Really Appreciated. Good work😊
Can you explain about address proof for minor, it's so confusing...what did you provide?
Such an informative video. We followed exactly and got OCI for our child in ~40 days
Glad it was helpful
Hi! Can you let me know which mission did you apply at? We have applied at Houston and it’s already been 30 days. Wondering if we should apply for tourist visa for upcoming travel in Dec 2nd week.
Thank you, not sure without this video, how i would've done it !
Hello Suja thanks for this informative video, Do we need to self attest other documents like passports, marriage certain , i797 or etc ?
Hi! Thanks for the video! While applying for minor, should we upload thumb impression image as well apart from the thumb impression in the physical copy.
This video is great help and time saver for me. Thanks Suja
@suja prakash: Thanks for this detailed video, I followed it and got my OCI .
Glad it was helpful
Hi Suja. Thanks for the detailed video. Is the consent letter and parental authorization are same?
Hello suja Prakash It’s very helpful video I have a question all supporting documents have to be notarize ? And also current passport have to submit or not?
Hi Suja, great video. Quick question, my son is 8yo. Does he need to upload his signature? or thumb impression works?
Thank you very much for great informative Vedio , its Very Helpful , One Quick Question, While applying for Minor , As a parent If i have Green Card should i still send my old I-797 copies ? or greencard copy is good enough ?
Thank you Suja for excellent video. I have one question. All the photocopies should be taken in colour or black and white
Thanks for video Suja, im applying for my OCI card and for my son (minor) at the same time. Is there a way to combine the applications? or do i have to fill out 2 separate applications and pay 2 separate fees?
@ Suja Prakash. Thank you very much for making such a strong and clear vedio. I followed your vedio and applied for oci card for my daughter. I got it without any problem. Your effort is much appreciated.
Glad it was helpful..
@@SujaPrakash Do you know how to get emergency appointment for H4 stamping for a 5 year old in India? I have plans to travel to India on December and while coming my son needs stamping. I am in f1 and already stamped from Mexico but his h4 I need to stamp from India after renewing his passport from India under Tatkal quota
Hi Suja, this video is very informative. Thanks you..One quick question..,can we use internet bill as address proof..?
Thank you, this is really helpful.
This is so helpful! Thanks for sharing it. I have a question: I have old and new passports. Shall I have to submit old and new passport copies when applying OCI for minor? Or is only new passport is enough?
No need to submit original passport, only current passport copy is enough..
Very helpful to complete the process.. Thank you
Thank you so much for providing detailed video.
Glad it was helpful!
Thankyou for explaining process very clearly...we applied and sent application with required documents to vfs for my son on last week of Dec.After 40 days I received OCI...your video helped us to clarify our doubts..keep going...
very thorough video, thanks!
Thanks for the detailed steps.👍
Very much useful and informative. Thanks Ms. Suja.
Hello Suja, very informative post and appreciate the detailing. If I'm applying for OCI for the entire family (self, wife and kids), should I make it as 4 separate applications, courier forms or can I put all of them in one bundle and send it to the center? Please advise.
Hi Suja, thank you for doing this video. It is super helpful.
One question, while uploading the minor's passport copy does it have to be self attested and then uploaded?
Yes ..
Hello, I cannot put it in words of how thankful I am, really someone like you is needed to decipher cryptic Indian paper work requirement.
Also there are limits on document reupload and viewing, this is really ridiculous
Great Help, Appreciate !!!
Thank you
Very useful video. Thank you for compiling all information together. Once point you can add is - User Registration for Minors. Should it be done with parent's email ID?
Thanks a lot for the video.. it helped a ton.
Hi Suja, Thank you for the information that you have compiled. I had one question about parent's name. Both the parents of the minors have their middle names list in the "given names" section of their passports. So, should we include the middle names or just stick to first-name last-name as you mentioned at 2:50s of the video?
If it’s in the passport, then provide it in the given name itself .. your names in the application should match with passport
@@SujaPrakash thank you 🙏🏻
@Suja Prakash, Thanks for your video. Do we need to self attest all the checklist documents or just passport copy is enough ?
Self attesting all the documents is always recommended
Suja you are the best. Thank you
**urgent**
Who should sign on the undertaking by oci application for minors..
Thankyou so much for your video!!!very detailed and helpful!!
Hello Suja, Thanks for the detailed explanation. I have one question. I am applying for my 7 month old son. Should I create a VFS user with my name and add my son's name during application or should I have created the user with my son's name only ?
Hi Suja, Thanks for the detailed video. It is very helpful. I have a question. While uploading the documents in government site, we can upload only 1 document for each category. How do I upload the passport of both the parents ? Is it ok if we upload passport copy on only 1 parent and send the physical copy of passport for both parents?
Thanks for making such a helpful video.
Hi Suja - Thanks a lot for the detailed information. Few follow-up questions though:
1. Checklist says "Signature of the applicant" - How can my new born sign it? Or a thumbprint is accepted?
2. 2 physical photos and an additional photo should be included?
3. Checklist also talks about the applicant's self-attested passport copy - How can my newborn sign it? Or a thumbprint is accepted?
4. Dumb question - the copies and application print out should be in color or black/white?
1) minor below 5 - left thumb print
2) 2 copies is enough
3) parents can self attest on behalf of minor
4) BW is fine
video has all the information regarding your questions , please refer to the samples in the video for clarification
Thank you Suja for the video it was super helpful, only document that should be self attested is the applicants current passport isn’t it ?
Hi suja. Great job making this video. 👍🏻👍🏻thank you!
My doubt is do v upload the self attested documents online before printing out the completed application? or the self attestation is only for hard copies?
No need to attest digital copies only self attest the physical copies
@@SujaPrakash Thank you. Much appreciated.
Thank you for this very informative video. I have a couple of doubts though:
1. Me (Indian) and my husband (naturalized US citizen) got married in New Jersey, and we have the marriage certificate issued by State Registrar. Should this document be apostilled for applying for our US born minor?
2. I understand that there is a difference between Nationality and Citizenship. The application asks for the nationality of parents. In case of my husband who is a naturalized US Citizen (born Indian), will his nationality be Indian or US national (for the application)
Thank you
Hi Suja, thanks for sharing the video. Had a question in mailing the document- you mentioned that the US passport needs to be self attested, in case of minors(below) do they also need to self attest or can parents do it? Also, the OCI checklist needs to be submitted that too requires applicant's signature, do minors(below 5) need to sign or parents can do it?
Both can be signed by either of parents on behalf of minor
Hello Suja. Very informative video. I had a question on regarding notarization. Can i complete the OCI form completely and then take a print out and go only once to get the OCI form and parental authorization form notarized? Will i be able to reupload the notarized parental authorizatio form on the OCI website once i have submitted?
I recently applied for OCI for my son and it took about 7 to 8 weeks overall from the time of submission till we got the OCI card in hand. Your video was really helpful. Hats off for your service 🙏
Thank you so much
@Nataraj, Did you sent hard copy of minor/applicant passport ? With the new rule we don't have to send it right .. just need a confirmation.
@@rupaliahire6857 you mean the original Passport right? No it's not required to send the original Passport.
Thanks for all the details! Should we have new born left thumb print on passport copies to self attest or can parents self attest? Thanks in advance!
I see parents copy request in multiple categories, does it mean we have to multiple copy or single copy suffices wherever copy is asked?
