Any update from anyone?. Chicago seems to be totally screwed up on OCI's. I dont understand why Chicago is lagging behind this bad while New York and Houston apps. are being done in 30 days:mad:

You are not alone sir!!, My status is exactly same as yours, no email/VM replies or status updates. See my timeline.

Chicago delays Not sure whats going on at Chicago consulate. OCI approvals seems crawling. Its 75+ days since my app. reached chicago and still no acknowledgement!!:confused:

Great news DMAX and rk1234. Hope mine would be ack'd soon too. Just to confirm is this the site we should be checking for acknowledgement?. http://ociindia.nic.in/ociindia/OnlineOCIenquiry.jsp and verify using USACI** online number??.

Thanks jmj19.

Do we get communication once documents reach Chicago asking us to send US passports or can we just check online and send passports rightaway once status changes?. I hope Chicago consulate doesn't reject/return passports for any reason?

Anyone have experience of applying for an Indian business or Tourist visa while OCI application is pending?. I might've to travel to India on business next few weeks and my OCI is currently pending. Appreciate anyone sharing their experiences, issues or comments. Thanks in advance.

Based on recent Chicago tracker updates, this is the approx. timeline App. rcvd. by consulate to acknowledgement = 1.5 months Ack. to the date docs rcvd. by consulate from Delhi = 2 weeks OCI booklet/visa stamp = 2 weeks Total time = 2.5 to 3 months

FYI.. OCI applications are accepted by mail only for people planning to apply in person. Not sure why but thats the process in Chicago. But I had my Indian passport cancelled in less than a min. and was told they prefer to have copies of cancelled passport pages along with OCI app.

Great. Thanks for your replies.

Can we enquire online status with online reg. number(USACI*) or do we have to wait until we receive acknowledgement?

My OCI timeline..

Thanks.

Passport info Hi Scarlethawk, I am in same boat as you were with an upcoming trip in 3 weeks after Oath and wondering whether apply for passport in USPS or wait until 14day window. How did you manage to get your passport?. I appreciate any feedback/suggestion form your experience? :)...

I got mine in 5 days.

Yes. I had my interview on 12/19(approved w/N-652) and received Oath letter on 1/4/07.

Thank you all for your response. I am not sure why the children.... box was checked in for me. It doesn't apply for my case.

I received N-445 with the following doc list checked in, 1. N-445 filled in 2. GC 3. Re entry permit or Refugee Travel document?? :confused: 4. Any immigration documents you may have??. Is this N-652? :confused: 5. Bring children if application is on their behalf. What are #3 and #4...
