How good is arne williams?Is he deserves a spot in our national team,if he got indian passport?I think he has been in india for about an year.So is it enough for an OCI to surrender his foreign passport and apply for an indian one.
Noone is expediting his passport. It depends how much time he has been holding OCI or now defunct PIO Card ? If he has OCI card for 5 years and one year he has lived in india, he is eligible for Indian Passport provided he will give up his Australian citizenship.
Michael Chopra applied for OCI card in 2014. In 2019 he will be eligible I guess provided he live one full year in india.
Arata had family - wife, father. If Aryn williams wishes to settle down, welcome.
It is 12 years for non-origin foreigner to reside and be eligible for indian citizenship.. One more thing is that we should not automatically assume that a person will get OCI card just because of Indian origin. Many factors are there like his and his parents immigration status when he was born. It is perfectly normal for anyone to be of Indian Origin yet be denied OCI card. In that case, 12 year residency rule will apply if he/she wish to be Indian citizen. More rules I have pasted in PIO thread from govt. of India website. It is possible that Aryn Williams is not even eligible for OCI card.
