I mailed my OCI application to Chicago consulate on 19-Jan-2007 via priority mail and my application was acknowledged today 15-Mar-2007. In few threads I have seen questions like the online Reg No starts with USACI*****07. Actually the online generated Reg No is definetely like USACI*****07, but the File or Acknowledgement no is in the format of USAC00******, this is the first row of online enquiry status details.

OCI App mailed : 19-JAN-2007
Acknowledged : 15-MAR-2007
 
When was the application received?

Thanks for posting your dates. Quick question - when was your application actually received by the consulate? Mine was received on Jan 23rd and I still don't have an acknowledgement.

Also, a question for the broader group. What's the practice with regards to cashing money orders or cashiers checks. Are they cashed as soon as the application is received, or do they wait until they start processing application?

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

Yes you can enquire with your USCI* number.

You will not receive any acknowledgement from the consulate(like e-mail or letter etc) other than a staus update at the online status enquiry page.

You have to keep checking the online status enquiry page by entering your USACI* number until it shows up with an acknowledgement date that will be your acknowledgement and you will also get your file number that you will need to refer to going forward.
 
You can enquire using USACI******* number, it is the second row on online enquiry form at http://ociindia.nic.in/ociindia/OnlineOCIenquiry.jsp

I mailed my OCI application on Friday Jan, 29 by priority mail and I guess it must have reached the consulate by Jan 23. I think money orders, cashier's check etc are encashed here in US just after they(consulate/embassy) open OCI application. There is no way to track whether they encashed Money Order, chashier's check.

Did you get the OCI? When did the document reach Chicago office. Mine is just acknowledged on April 16th. Booked tickets (I got visa to India for 6 months) to fly to India on May 10th. Anxious whether I will get it before that date.
Thanks

Thank you very much for your reply.
In this case as my acknowledgement date is April 16th, I may get OCI only after May 10th. So I will make my trip to India on May 10th with the visa and collect OCI after my return in July.
Thank you again and good luck!

Did you send acknowledgement slip along with passports that you sent yto Chicago Consulate ?
 
Yes I enclosed acknowledgement slip (sent by consulate) also with the passport. I also wrote "Collection of OCI documents" on the mailing envelope as the Consulate advises and I did not send my cancelled Indian passport.
