    I also applied for an OCI card and my application was denied because of my poor photo quality. I file a revision petition with the government for this. You can also file a revised OCI application in 30 days if your application gets rejected.

    Before submission of your OCI application make sure your photo, passport, and signature match with the required OCI format. I made this mistake and faced OCI application rejections. So, avoid making these mistakes.

    Having a lack of security clearance can also cause OCI application rejection. It might be worth checking if you have any past visa issues, before applying for OCI.

    Before applying for OCI cross-check all the documents required during the application process. A simple mistake in contact information was the reason my application was delayed for months.

    Before submitting the OCI application review your signature and OCI photo requirements. Many rejections happen due to this. Also, for a hassle-free OCI application, you can get help from Visament and avoid rejection.
