Checked online status. It seems that documents have reached New Delhi. Photos/Signature have been scanned. Does this mean, application and documents were in order?

Thanks,

I would assume that to be really sure if the documents were in order, you have to wait until the Registration Status says Granted.
 
Pio card tracker

I am planning to apply for PIO CARD.I dont find any threads that track PIO CARD applications at any of the consulates.

Houston seems to be too slow for OCI, hence I am going with PIO.
Does anybody have any experience with PIO application at Houston

My photo/signature was scanned last couple of weeks back and it seems that my application is stand still there!

Friends,

I have Underprocess/SCanned status from April 22 for my OCI card.
Is it normal for some cases? taking these many days to next stage?
Is there any thing I really need to do or able ot do at this stage?
Thanx..
 
It certainly is a long time Hi Friend. Wait for a few days and nothing happens then start phone calls/emails to CGI. In my case, it has just been couple of weeks. I will wait for a few more days and do the same as I mentioned earlier.

Regards,

Kumar

It's recommended that you carry the OCI card, though when we visited India in February 2009, no one ever asked for it - arrival in Mumbai and departure from Delhi.
 
OCI Granted

Mailed: 05/14/09

The package containing my OCI cards from CGI San Francisco had a paper insert which basically says that we are advised to carry the OCI cards as well as US passport with OCI visa when traveling to India to avoid potential problems with Indian Immigration authorities.

Friends,

From April 25, I have status of SCANNED/Under process, not moving from there. I am sending every day one email & trying to call & talk to them each day. Anybody know about the same issue?
what is the best course of action here?
Thanx..
 
It surprises that for some people the process moves quite fast and for some it is very slow.

Don't loose hope Hi Friend.

The link in reply just above says "If the status says 'Under Process', basically they are waiting for something from us." This is IRRITATING if this is true as if they want something from us to support the application, they MUST notify the applicants!

It has been about a month in my case and the only update is Photo scanned. Let us hope that the process moves fast for all of us and we get OCI soon.

Regards,

Kumar

OCI At Houston

My status for OCI app at Houston:

Mailed: 05/14/09
Acknowledged : 05/20/09
Granted: 06/02/09
Printed: 06/03/09
Despatched to Houston: 06/04/09
Received at Houston: 06/10/09

I will be sending my US passport shortly to get the visa stamped. The whole process seems to have progressed quite fast.
 
Friends,

Thanx for that updates and that is true..
How do u I know as they waiting on some thing from me..?
ANd I already sent copy of my US passport and sending emails daily.
According to my knowledge, nothing is missing from my side.
I will start to call them from tomorrow, I know this attempt is very bad, because, sometimes we even don't get anybody on line after long wait also.

Thanx..

I would suggest to also send them an email (ocicgihouston@swbell.net) and copy it to usoci-mha@nic.in - the latter is the email address of Under Secretary (OCI) in Home Ministry. Highlight that you are copying them - that may get people's attention. Also see http://mha.nic.in/pdfs/oci-adrs.pdf
