Departure from Indian to German Citizenship

I have just received the approval of my discretionary naturalization to acquire the German Citizenship. I would appreciate, if someone in this forum could navigate with through follow-up procedure to give up the Indian passport and acquire the German one. Also, I have a 6-month old son born in Berlin who holds an Indian passport with German Visa valid up to his 18th Birthday. I was wondering if he can also be naturalized in parallel or soon after my naturalization. FYI, during my application, I had opted out for his naturalization.

Re: Departure from Indian to German Citizenship

As far as I understand reading the OCI details, the foreigners of Indian origin holding an OCI card can not participate in administrative, judicial and political carriers. There appears to be no restriction on other jobs including scientific positions. The research work (and other stuff like missionary work) is mentioned in context of field research while holding a position in the foreign country. Does somebody know anybody who has returned to India as a Government Employee or at a public institution while maintaining his/her foreign citizenship?

Re: Departure from Indian to German Citizenship

@quicky: and others:

Thanks for sharing information. But the, as usual as Indian govt office working style, happend to face strange situation in this regards:

- It was clearly every where said photos should be 51x51mm.
- I got confirmation from them via phone over size
- After filling OCI application form online, we got to print that, they provided a box where we are supposed to place photos. In that box also they have written 51x51. (But the left space is not sufficient for that., realised later after taking photo graphs)

Despite all these confirmation: When I visited embassy today, they said the photos are too big. I had to aruge, atleast they accepted and they would come back to me on this issue again.
- Secondly, no where it is writte (may be I missed) but they expected 4 photos! it was also a surpise. I expected two photos were sufficient for two forms but for some reason they asked 4. I luckly had in hand.

So please be warned this information. Get confirmation with concern officer before you go in person or post.

Comments are welcome.

@ Alien0in2de
Sorry to learn about your experience. Did the Embassy staff tell you what photo size they need for appropriate processing of your application. Also, do they accept cash payment or also with EC card?

Re: Departure from Indian to German Citizenship

Hi,

They said the photo should fit in the box/provided space on the form. But again, they have no clue why it is written every where 51x51.

They accept only fees in CASH. they don't accept EC or any other cards.
