OCI- HCI London Tracker

**sunilkc** · 15th July 2010, 10:31 AM

Hi,

I want to start OCI timeline tracker for applications submitted at HCI London.

Here is my timeline- no update even after more than 2 months. Has anyone applied at HCI London around the same date and has had any progress?

Application submitted in person on 11 May at HCI London
Date Of Acknowledgment 11-MAY-2010
Application Status
Registration Status UnderProcess
Documents Printing Status NOT PRINTED
Documents Dispatched to Concerned Mission/Office on NOT DISPATCHED
Documents Received at LONDON NOT YET

Thanks

Friends,

I found a tracker on immihelp.com of a person who applied exactly 2 weeks earlier than me. His tracker is:

Date Of Acknowledgment 27-APR-2010
Application Status
Registration Status Granted On 13-JUL-2010
Photo/Signature Scanned On 08-JUL-2010
Documents Printing Status PRINTED
Documents Printed On 14-JUL-2010
Documents Dispatched to Concerned Mission/Office on 15-JUL-2010
Documents Received at LONDON NOT YET

My expected OCI timeline (could vary by 1 week):

Date Of Acknowledgment 11-MAY-2010
Registration Status Granted On 27-JUL-2010
Photo/Signature Scanned On 22-JUL-2010
Documents Printing Status PRINTED
Documents Printed On 28-JUL-2010
Documents Dispatched to Concerned Mission/Office on 29-JUL-2010
Documents Received at LONDON 05-AUG-2010

I shall keep you posted whether my expected timeline is kept or not.

Cheers

hi sunil,
my acknowledgement was on 6 may so if your tracking estimate is right, i should have heard something by now. do let me know how u get on.

**sunilkc** · 26th July 2010, 11:28 AM

hi arti79,
did you try to call hci london and ask for explanation? I assume you didnt even get photo/signature scanned date updated yet?

**arti79** · 26th July 2010, 02:36 PM

my application was acknowledge on 6 may, photograph and signature scanned on 30 june. no-one at hci london ever answers the phone or responds to emails. have u had any news yet?

June 30 should have gotten you the OCI card by now. However, if there is a backlog YMMV. If you are in London, a visit to HCI is in order.

**arti79** · 27th July 2010, 05:31 AM

hi anton, i'm in leicester so a journey to hci would have to be worthwhile. if my status is showing nothing more than photograph and signature scanned, is it still worth going? just wish someone would answer the phone there.

**arti79** · 27th July 2010, 09:42 AM

ok update...

acknowledgement: 6 may
photo/signature scanned: 30 june
oci granted: 27 july (today!!!!)
just wait to get it now!!!

**arti79** · 29th July 2010, 05:29 AM

another update... documents printed 29 july! any luck with yours sunil?

**sunilkc** · 2nd August 2010, 06:32 AM

No luck, still no update. Not even photo/signature scanned update. Not sure what is happening there?

**sunilkc** · 2nd August 2010, 06:48 AM

arti79, did you apply in person or by post?

**sunilkc** · 2nd August 2010, 10:28 AM

I just called HCI london OCI department and they told me that they just started doing 2nd week of May now, so I should get some progress done over next 2 weeks. She advised me to call back after 2 weeks if I see no progress on my case (already 12 week today). I would like to assume that I should see my photo/signatures to be scanned this week and more progress next week. Fingers crossed!

**arti79** · 2nd August 2010, 11:44 AM

ok, so yours should be ready in next couple of weeks. they despatched from delhi today so soon i should be picking it up from london. u got through to hci on he phone?? wow, every time i tried, no luck. i applied by post. u?

**sunilkc** · 4th August 2010, 09:39 AM

You applied by post- that's why they did photo/signature scans for your earlier. They tend to process applications by post faster than acknowledgement date would indicate because they appear to work by the date of receipt of postal application. On what date did you post your application. NB- They do pick up the call if you call between 2:30-5:30pm.

**arti79** · 5th August 2010, 10:29 AM

Documents received at London - took 3 days. Going to pick up tomorrow!

Hi there,

I have just joined this forum because i am getting no joy from HCI London. I applied for OCI for a family of four on June 2nd 2010. Currently and literally as i write my wife and son's status changed to documents received on 7th Sept at London mission office. however mine and my daughter's status is still "under process" since June 2nd and has never changed status.
I emailed the HCI but has not received any response. has anyone come across applications received as a one family but processed separately? would appreciate if any one has more info
