Self-attestation is NOT required. I just submitted an application, around the same time as yours, to SFO. The application has been accepted and sent to GOI.
I did not put my documents in any specific order other than the BLS order form and Application forms on top.
Kids need copies of both parents' US and Indian passports.
Awesome, I got mine too. Took about 2 weeks from the time I sent my passport for matchup.
My timeline below:

BLS email regarding sending PP for OCI...
Thanks. Still don't have an update, its now 10 days (sent to consulate for matchup on 12/6). I have some international travel coming up last week of Dec where I need my US passport, therefore my apprehension! How the f%^& do I contact the consulate? it is impossible to get through on the phone...
How long does the passport matchup at the consulate typically take? BLS tracker says that they sent to consulate on 12/6, no updates after that. When can I expect the consulate to send out the passport? Actually, does the consulate send out the passport or do they send it back to BLS and BLS...
Yes, that is what it means. To give you a baseline, I got an email from BLS SFO the same day that they received the document (the third date on the GOI status site). You are now 2 months behind, I would jump on it as Vijay suggested.
Actually, they have been pretty prompt. Today when I checked the GOI website, it showed up-to-date status, and then I checked the BLS tracking site, and that too had been updated!!
