Both of my kids apps are scanned today: 10/06/2010: OCI Docs 2 DC 10/07/2010: RECD at DC 11/03/2010: Ack'ed 11/15/2010: Scanned

With all the confusion going on around Notary or self attest, I recommend you to notarize all the copies that you send to embassy, it is free if you get it done at your bank or if you have AAA membership they do it for free too. Do NOT take chance with these morons.

I had sent my photos with the white background, got approved, have OCI in hand. I have sent my wife and kids photos with the white backgrounds and applications have been accepted ...

Well yeah I am but I am planning to loose my mind again tomorrow ... see if they make any progress ... thats been the case so far though.

Right when I am loosing my mind over the slowness, I got an update for my wife's case: Date Of Acknowledgment: 21-OCT-2010 Photo/Signature Scanned: 11-NOV-2010

susanme, go and get the VISA, don't wait for these fing babus to process your OCI in time. Just to show you how bad it is, my wife's docs were ack'ed on 10/21 and still no update, I am officially loosing my mind over it now.

It took me 5 days to get my stuff back, but that was when the process was moving very quickly in July-Aug time frame.

If they be clear than how would they find excuses to delay in processing? Remember how things go in Hindustan Sarkaari departments? This is the same thing, except they can't ask for ghoos in USA ... so they delay the process as much as they can by pin pointing things that we the aam public can't...

Send $155 extra and get your paperwork done on priority basis ;-)

Mr.99, I had been in this scenario # C for my case and I did not send any extra money for mailing when I sent my application back to them 2nd time and they did send my OCI/passport back without any fuss ... although I lost $155 to India Passport Cancel fiasco, thats whole different story :-)

Thanks VM, I am indeed holding up the fort now :-) I am not in hurry as no we don't have any travel plans, we just want this to be over.

Congrats folks, you know who you are :-) for getting to the last step. I am still waiting for any progress after Ack'ed of docs of my family... 3+ week for wife 1+ week for kids

Forget it... whats gone is gone ... you didn't read my story? Long story in short, they never refunded me $155 for the my Indian passport cancellation processing that they did on the day fee was $20 for me based on cutoff.

Send a total of 5 to be on safe side ... it won't cost you too much ...

Happy Diwali to all of you folks!!!

You are not the only one, we waited for my wife's doc ack for 1 month and it was ack on 10/21, and nothing after that. Now our kids docs were ack yesterday 11/03, don't know how long it would be before I can say good bye to Indian Embassy.

Both of my kids documents were acknowledged today. 10/07 - Recd at DC 11/03 - Acknowledged Now all 3 applications (wife & kids) are "UnderProcess" -->> Wife's docs were Ack'ed on 10/21, no progress after that ... huh?

Satpal, I am so sorry to hear about your Mom. The best thing I recommend is to do a) Go personally to DC, get the SC + Emergency Visa. B) Once you have SC, just apply for the OCI (You don't have to send anything original so even if the processing takes 3 months, you will still have a Visa to...

I see that you have OCI ... I don't think you would have any issues. They shouldn't even ask you for your Indian Passport or SC, but its India you can not guarantee anything. Better keep your Cancelled Indian passport in your pocket just in case somebody ask you to show it.

Good atleast you are progressing now.
