Tell me about it, they owe me $225 :-) that never came back, and not just me, all those who got caught in their mess in 2010 when they raised the cost to renunciation from $25 to $250 (I think) and then back tracked for certain dates and I fell under those dates, yet they wouldn't refund the...

Well DadaJi, I logged into this forum after almost 10 years, and I saw your post and thought I should post. In principle you should get a refund, but it won't work that way with Indian Consulate; whatever you sent, it's theirs to keep, they never send any money back. Had a very bitter experience...

Unless they have changed to rules. If you applied the SC along with OCI application, they would not send you the Certificate itself. I may be wrong in today's scenario.

Too bad, did you read my story on this board? I guess not: They processed my Indian Passport cancellation on June 4th, the day fees for this service was $20 for me cos I got my Citizenship in April 2009. But did they return the balance of $155 back to me ... oh no sir ... thanks but you sent...

:-) They have eaten my $195 ... what else you could expect from these morons?

No worries, but I can give you another recommendation -->> never use USPS or UPS when sending the most important documents to somewhere. I recommend using FedEx for these purposes. You mentioned you are only 300 miles away from Houston, you could have gotten your package next day with their...

I still think you are fine ... do not bother to get it corrected. You and your wife's Indian Passports are marked "Cancelled" and thats all what you would need for any interaction with Indian Embassy now or in future. And NO, you don't need to attach a copy of SC with your OCI applications if...

If you don't want to get into anymore trouble that you already have been, I recommend that you just apply OCI cos passports got Cancellation stamps, which is just as good as having the GOLD PLATED SC :-) Once you get your OCI in hand, and you have some free time/money + motivation, than pursue...

VA_CH, Congrats for completing the process, now sleep peacefully :-)

Old news :-)

I had 3 different applications with 3 tracking numbers, I actually packed the passports/pio in separate envelopes and than placed all 3 of them in 1 big Fedex packet and sent that 1 packet. I did write up the Name/Tracking number on each envelope to indicate these are 3 different applications...

Yes, read this post, 2 post before you posted your question :-) http://forums.immigration.com/showthread.php?212599-OCI-Washington-DC-Tracker&p=2257255#post2257255

All the best to all the people who are going to apply in New Year, I wish you all have a very smooth processing and peaceful new year.

Your most welcome!!! Please provide the complete time line in one post to help other people.

You should've received it by now ... it should be coming via UPS. If they couldn't deliver it in 3 attempts that they make than they would send the package back to Indian Embassy. Once Indian Embassy receive it back, you would be lucky if they would send it back again without you contacting...
