I started out OCI application for me and my spouse. After filling it up and printing it, I realized that I should have included our children in the application as well. So I tried to figure out a way to edit the old application. Did not find anyway of doing it.

Okay, so I ended up filling up the same information again, but this time with my kids information. However when I saved and printed it, the Online Registration No. for me or my spouse does not match the one we had received during my first attempt. I took the second application (which also had kid's info) and submitted it with all requisite paperwork, photos monies etc to Houston Consulate.

I have not heard back from them (its been about week). When I go to check status online, it says

Application with this number not yet Acknowledged

If I try the

Forgotten Registration No.?..Click here

link on the OCI status website and enter my passport and birthdate, it is bringing in the Online Registration Number I got when I filled out the application the very first time and not the one on the application I submitted to Houston.

Any advise :confused:

One week is too early to worry, give them 10 days for acknowledgement. Keep tracking the new online registration only, forget about the old one and don't even try to check link "forgot......" it is their software problem, it will never show the new reg.# and also you don't have to redo the application.

Oci

7/6/10: Sent application to NY Consulate
7/15/10: Application with this number not yet Acknowledged

I did express mail, I guess it is normal delay. The online status webpage was down last week for a while, and sometimes it does not load. I am assuming some internal errors.
 
The process of acknowledgement seems to be taking about a month's time in most cases. if you don't see any updates after a month, call consulate.
 
Hi,

Did you send original passports (the US and Indian) along with your OCI application or you sent only original Indian passport and waiting on the U.S passport for the later stage of the OCI application process? Pelase advice.

Regards.
 
I did not send either passports. If you look at the application, they do not ask you for either passports but just copy of the those. I did attach a copy of renunciation certificate with the application.
 
hmm...I am sorry, I did not mention that I am applying at SFO consulate. In the check list, they asked for originals. But I heard that some of the applicants are waiting until the OCI card reaches from India to SFO, and then they are sending their original US passport to get it stamped. But I am not positive about original Indian passport. I thank you for your counsel.

Regards.
