Use the following trick posted by veekay to verify if it was mailed or not For those who have already mailed US passports for stamping and waiting.... 1. Go to ups site and do track by reference. 2. enter "oci" (without quotes) as Shipment Reference. 3. Adjust ship date range as necessory 4...

Its high time you need to get in touch with them, no matter you should have received your passports back by now. Keep emailing them day and night, and call them as much as you can .... or else go personally if you can, to get things taken care of ... 1.5 months is just too much. Any reason would...

Congrats buddy

Either wait or go in person ... period ... these people won't care about us American-Indians ... and bigbull99 is correct, even if after trying the whole day you would by mistake reach to someone that someone will treat you like a trash and won't give you any answer to any of your queries ...

Just what you have in your Indian Passport ... you will confuse them if you put anything else ;-)

I have seen status changes in the early morning ... and around noon

Excellent I am happy for you GC2USC ...

I respectfully disagree to you sir. We are doing business with an Indian entity that has its physical presence in USA and it has to abide by USA laws and if it makes any mistakes that are not considered legal by USA Legal system, than I would think that we as a US Citizens has all the rights to...

Congrats aparnas for a great progress in your case ... it took me 8 business days to get it all back after i sent my US PPT to them. It will be completely tensed 10 days I would say cos, you won't know if they have your PPTs or if they are going to send it back or if they are going to send it to...

Thanks, well can't win here, cos thats the major requirement to have 2 sets --- can't they use copy? After all they would be scanning all the documents in their computers right? What is such a big urge of forcing people to send 2 original sets? I could never understand this requirement...

What was the reason for sending it back?

overkill, Who do you send your emails and I am not talking about sending emails to the huge list that you posted. I am talking about "At the embassy" where you sent your application for SC. Thanks...

So I received my OCI yesterday, now here is the situation: I sent my documents 2nd time in 3rd week of May along with the SC fee ($175) They Ack'ed the documents on June 1st - The day fees changed to ($20) They stamped my Indian Passport as "Canceled" on June 4th - That day the fees for this...

No dude, I didn't take any chance and send them $20 for mail. They sent it out via UPS Next Day Air - Signature Required... I received a call in the morning from UPS automated service that somebody needs to be home to sign the package or else they would leave a note outside. Guess what, nobody...

Its over for me friends, I received my passports along with OCI stamp and booklet yesterday... no refunds were issued, the "Canceled" stamp was placed on June 4th so I think I do have a real chance to dispute the extra fees. Here is my final time line: OCI Progress 04/16/2010: Citizenship Date...

Congrats Trip.

I agree for the most part ... but here the issue is really the incompatibility of the process and the time lines that Indian Embassy tried to enforce which backfired and they will have to deal with this protest from desi's and yes, it is going to impact all of us if you make them upset, even...

I am guessing my OCI delivery slowed down due to the dates and the rules of SC cos my case was Ack'ed on June 1st, the day new guidelines came and they may be trying to get clarification on whether to issue me a refund of $155 or let me fight for :-) Most likely I would have to fight for it...

Not sure about CGISF, I've applied via DC and my status changed in 2 days from dispatched to receive (June 15 - June 17)... another battle for getting everything back now its been over a week I sent my PPTs.

ok so today its been 7 business days I sent my PPTs and I have not seen anything back from them, really not sure what is going on ... will wait for few more days before I start worrying about this whole thing again... now that they have my US PPTs too.
