Friends,
My journey that started with the application of SC followed by the application for OCI has culminated with a happy ending!!. The entire process took about 3-4 months to complete. At least in my case, I had no issues with the process of application and or receipt of the passports/OCI...
Hi Ketki09,
I had sent US Passport(s)+$20 mailing fee via USPS express mail to CGI-NY on Mon 13th Sep 2010 and was received by CGI NY on 14th Sep 2010. I received the Passports+OCI card back on Sat 09/25 in about 8 working days. You should be getting yours this week.
Good Luck
Thanks redbaron. I had sent mine on 09/13 and received by CGI NY on 09/14, so I believe i should get it by coming Monday. will updated the forum after I receive the same.
Ok, will check it out. Based on what you say, does the CG NY send the passports/card back using UPS service? I thought it would be USPS.
thanks for your help.

Also I did not send any return pre paid US Express mail or...

Hi All,
My OCI cards (self+family) were dispatched to the NY Consulate on Aug 19th. However the Online inquiry status is showing the document status as "NOT YET".
The ticker running below the online status inquiry suggests to contact the office/mission after 10 days from the date of...
JP, I can understand your pain and how misleading the info can be on the OCI application/arrival section. My recommendation was more from my own experience and the practical approach I adopted for the application process. I don't see any reason why any consulate would want to lock down your...

Badkarma,
If you are referring to the "Documents Received at CGI NY" filed in the "Online status Inquiry" , then that filed refers documents(OCI card) that is sent back to CGI NY after the processing is complete.
I am not aware of any online inquiry that shows when CGI NY received the OCI...
