Hello,
Here my story in short.
I applied for OCI and renunciation on Dec 15, 2013 via Fedex but did not see any status on BLS website till Jan so had to take a day off and go to NY in person on Jan 15 2014 to check on the application. After about 7 hours of wait I got a receipt from them indicating they just received my application 2 hours ago, yes thats correct. Anyways fast forward today the BLS receipt number tracking in working fine but cannot see anything while using other 3 tracking options on BLS website. I receive my US passport with OCI yesterday through mail but no news on renunciation.
Is there a way to find out the status on the renunciation?
How can they issue OCI without renunciation of my Indian passport?
When can I expect to receive my renunciation certificate back along with cancelled Indian passport?
Their previous phones were not working and the new phones are going unanswered? How to contact them?
I tried opening a ticket but they came back with stupid answered that seemd to be copied and pasted from standard text. THe anseer they came back with in Feb was - "Renunciation application normally takes 15 days but a few days here or there is possible, please be patient as your application is still being processed." When I replied to them indicating it is almost 2 months now nobody answered back.
Before I applied in Dec I emailed them to inquire if I would need 2 envelopes or 1 as I was applying together I got answer within 4 hours indicating 2 envelopes and when I sent in a mroe detailed question noone is answering.
Has anybody in this situation before? If yes can you share your experience?
Will I need my cancelled passport and renunciation certificate in future?
