OCI - Chicago Tracker

All Done

All done folks. Went and picked up the OCI documents from the consulate. :)

After F1, OPT, H1, Green Card, Citizenship and OCI I am finally done with the immigration issue! It feels great - thanks to all on this awesome forum for their help and support.

Good luck to all of you out there.

OCI pickup ?

Spritual -- Congratulations. Question on pickup. Did you go to consulate in the evening (2 - 4 pm) to pickup or you have to submit the passports in morning and then again pick it up in evening. Your reply is appreciated. Thanks. :)

Citi_seeker - you need to go to the consulate at 2:00pm - no need to submit anything in the morning. You submit your passports at 2:00 and its done by 2:15..very cool!

Hello All,

I am planning to send my US Passport to get U visa stamp and OCI booklet.
I would like to get my passport back by Expressmail/ FedEx. What is the best way to do this? Can I send them a prepaid Expressmail/ FedEx envelope ( I might have to travel on a short notice..)?

Thanks for your help.

Collected OCI documents !!!

I picked up my OCI documents and U-stickers from the Chicago consulate yesterday. They were so nice and it took only about 20 minutes to get all the documents back. Remember that thay handle OCI only between 2-4pm.

Try to be there exactly at 2:00 and someone from the OCI cell will come out and ask if there is anyone to pickup OCI documents

Good luck folks
