Step Five - meet the officer

Once the clerk has put you through the wringer and you have got a number, have a seat in the hall and wait for your name to be called.
Then the officer see's your documents and the orginals and asks you to take a seat again. After a while your name will be called out and you will be given a receipt.
Hooray!! Your day has been productive - you have successfully managed to submit an application for OCI.
My day began at 6:00 AM and ended at 11:30 AM. If you have to take time off - take half a day off for sure. Alternatively take the full day off and spend the second half recuperating from the stress.

Can I submit an application on behalf of my wife & kids?
Yes you can. I was not submitting an application for myself, only for my wife and children. The clerk did ask to see my ID and I showed him my Driver's license. Other than that there were no questions.
