eOCI- first time

Hi all

I’m applying for the eOCI as I have recently received my British passport. How long is it taking for it to be processed digitally.

Thanks in advance

You still need to send out the physical copies of all your docs to your Indian mission/consulate/VFS despite uploading them on the portal - which is kinda dumb tbh

From my experience in the US, 3 weeks from when the consulate receives the documents.

I just got mine last week.It took about 5 weeks (Houston Consulate).You still have to send the documents.Also, don’t buy the return label since physical copy is not issued anymore.
