Do I need to pay my application fee again if my application is rejected, or will I be refunded for the rejected application and then required to pay the fee again for the new application?
Take my suggestion and apostille all your documents that are issued outside India because starting from December 30th, 2024, any document issued outside India must be apostilled before applying for an OCI card. Currently, this requirement applies in India and the USA.
My application was rejected a few times due to very minor mistakes that I made through carelessness. I then decided to ask Visament to help me with my application, and that was the best decision I made. My application got approved quickly, and the process went smoothly without any stress.
My spouse's OCI application was rejected because her signature was not clear. She redid the signature and uploaded it on the same day. The next day, the status was updated to "Your application has been acknowledged by our authority and is currently under processing and will be updated soon.
