OCI application

[HunnyBunny 9]

I was all set to submit my OCI application to sent it through Fadex & just then my son checks my US passport & tells me that my Place of birth is printed wrong. I was shocked. I went n checked a copy of my application for US passport & it was me who had typed wrong place of birth. Now I will have to make a new application for correction in my US passport and according to their website it will take anything between 8-10 weeks. Now my question is, I have already paid for OCI application, my courier label is also printed in that case how long I can hold my application? Any idea? I also have enquired with VFS Global, but not sure when would I receive reply from them.

On US PP it's just printed "India". What else did you type?

In my US passport its printed New York, USA!😳 Because I made a mistake in my passport application, I wrote my current city Huntington Station NY instead of my birth city.

unique situation .but i think u can continue to apply the OCI as its purely based on the indian origin and the fact that you already must have the renunciation and canceled indian passport should be sufficient enough to get the OCI . Once you receive the US Passport back you can correct it if u want

If they didn't catch it at renunciation keep your fingers crossed and hope for the best.

I thought about it. But if my visa gets stamped on that US passport, I would never be able to correct that mistake. Also, just received a reply from VFS global. If I don’t submit my documents in 21 days, my application automatically gets rejected & they issue a refund. That would be a better option.
