Did you get an email from BLS requesting your passport? Looks like BLS got the OCI documents from GOI on Feb 13th.
Contact them - search this forum for an email address to someone at SFO consulate and send them a message.
We haven't - the best you can do is to call up the Indian Consulate and ask them directly.
Do you have a photocopy of the lost US PP? Not sure if carrying that would help incase you are unable to get tourist visa.
This is news to me. My tracking says it has been sent to GOI(Govt of India)
Did your's make it all the way to GOI and then back to BLS or if BLS requesting these docs?
Can you please post your tracking from the BLS website and on the OCI service website?
You can travel with old passport which has the sticker and new passport - you may get delayed but shouldn't prevent you from entering the country.
Come back and post so we all know how it went.
It doesn't matter if you have PIO or OCI - everytime you get a new (foreign) passport PIO has to be re-endorsed or OCI needs to be re-issued and they both have similar fees.
As of 02/22/2014:
PIO re-endorsement Fee = $27.70
OCI Re-issue Fee = $32.70
Looks like our application reached BLS the same day but mine someone got delayed by 4 days..
Did you send via UPS or FedEx or USPS? I wonder if BLS gives USPS packages a lower priority!!!
Thanks for the update. Please keep me posted.
It doesn't end until you have the OCI on-hand so we will have to wait and see..
What does your status say on the Online OCI Services page?
