OCI - San Francisco Tracker

I received my US passport back with the OCI visa stamp and the OCI booklet. They returned the 2 extra photographs that I had sent. (I sent a total of 5)
 
Finally, we received our OCI

:D Finally, the journey is over. Thanks everyone for your help and I wish you all a speedy process.

Good Luck
 
Gotten cancelled inidan passports

I had sent original indian passports alongwith my OCI application (SFO) on 10/3/06. Yesterday they sent me cancelled indian passports.
Quite prompt, i would say,and good to know that they have definitely recvd and opened my OCI application.
As per other posts, looks like it takes around 2 months before anything changes on web page for status check. So nothing to do for next 1.5 months or so :)
 
Yep bayareaboy,
Wait for a little less than 2 months, and things should start moving. I have a feeling that it might be faster for you.
 
TimeLine

Looking at the timeline duration for few of my friends, I think it would take the following intervals (+- 3-4 days) for SFO applications
Acknowledgment : 61 days
Photo/Sign Scan/Docs Printed : +4
Send From Delhi : +2
Received at SFO : +5
Send PP : +2
Received PP back : +5

Approximately 75 -80 days from the time the initial application reaches SFO

The last time I tracked the movement ...looks like they are processing at an average of ~50 Applications/day (for a 6 day week)

I have the same problem. My family applications are granted and dispatched. Mine shows granted but no dispatch information. Earlier it showed photo/sig scanned date. Now it doesn't show that either.

This board has been extremly helpful and I wanted to update with my status. Do you think SFO is moving faster?

I have updated my signature with latest dates. My FILES HAVE NOT BEEN mailed from New Delhi. My question is when should I mail my US passport to SFO consulate? Would they ask me via snail mail or what? I am going to India Jan 19 and would be back Feb 12 and I already have Indian visa on it.
