It is important to attend the personal interview for the OCI card application. This interview helps the OCI applicants to verify all the information with the supporting documents, and once the FRRO jurisdiction, or Indian mission/ Post approves your verification for the OCI application, then it will be processed further, and you will get your OCI card in just a few days after the application submission.

    For the verification of supporting documents, you need to give a personal interview for your OCI card application. In the interview, I will be provided with my biometrics, like fingerprints, photos, and signature. All the documents are submitted to the Indian mission/ Post/ FRRO for verification.

    Yes, there will be a personal interview of the individual who applies for an OCI card. According to section 7A (1)(d) of the Citizenship Act, 1955. In this interview, an individual needs to verify themselves by showing all the documents for verification. This interview will be conducted by the Indian Mission or FRRO, or the Post Office for the verification of the OCI application.

      For my OCI card application, I have also filled out an online application through the OCI services website by entering all the necessary details, and uploaded all the documents, then paid the fees and booked an online appointment for the verification of my OCI application. At that time, I gave a personal interview for my OCI card, and after the interview, I got my OCI card within a few weeks.
