OCI application

[HunnyBunny 9]

Hello everyone,

Here I am again after dealing with an unique situation. Last month I had posted in this group about mistake in my US passport. I realized that after submitting my OCI application. Everything was done...payment, uploading all the documents, photograph, courier labels. But just a day before sending the physical documents I found a mistake in my US Passport. I wrote to VFS & I had been informed that if I don't submit the physical documents my application expires & I can ask for refund.  That has been done, I got my refund as per their refund policy. Now I am trying to create a new application under same name, email id & I keep getting message that "User already exists". And if I try to login with previously created id & password and try to "Add a new customer" with old GRN number its giving me this message - 

• Government reference number is not valid. Please recheck if its correctly entered or belongs to the correct Consular Jurisdiction

I don't know what to do. Has anybody tried to reapply for OCI the second time? After first application expired?

You login with your older userID and Password but use a new ARN after filling in a new application on government site.

Consulate of India at Atlanta made this detailed video on application process for OCI. Refer to it and you should be good.
