OCI - Chicago Tracker

I mailed by US passport to Chicago Consulate on Oct 30 for U visa sticker and still have not received the passport back.
 
Our family passports have been delivered today to Chicago Consulate for OCI. I am praying that they affix the 'U' visa and send the OCI booklets, US Passports and cancelled Indian Passport within the reasonable time frame.
 
Simple Guy,
Have you contacted CGI through any means? That is awfully long time for them to keep your passport?

havefun, I havn't contacted chicago consulate as i want to give them at least 30 days to put U visa sticker on the passport and mail it back. After 30 days, i will start contacting them (via email or phone). :mad:
 
I came home this evening from work and found a DHL envelope outside the door. Yes, it had my passport with U visa stamp and OCI booklet. Cancelled indian passport was not returned but i don't care.
 
My Number is USACI* as well

Here is my timeline:
Consulate - Chicago
10/25/2006 - Part A Online
11/01/2006 - Sent OCI app
11/04/2006 - OCI app reaches Chicago
No Feedback so far.
 
I go my receipt back from the consulate. My case is still under process, hopefully it gets granted next week.

They returned the cancelled passports with Ack slip.
 
How did you the Indian Passport Back? Did you include additional money to send by any overnight carrier? If it came with any overnight carrier then which one? Or Did you send any pre-paid envelope? Or did it come through normal post?

Looking forward to your reply.

It does like me and my wife are under processing and all others have been granted. I hope it is not the photos we just sent the US passport size.
 
Finally got our passports with OCI visa

Today finally we got our passports with OCI visa sticker. It took six and half months to complete the whole process (After repeated phone calls and emails to the consulate people).

havefun hopefully you will also get ur passprts in a week.

How did you get it? By any overnight mail? Did CGI provide any tracking number? Which number did you call? Which e-mail id did you use?

I am trying to get tracking number but so far I have been unsuccessful.

I got it through DHL last night. CGI did not provide any tracking number. You can try calling 312-595-0415 and explain ur situation to the person who picks up the phone (OR You can ask R S Badwal in the consulate to help you out for ur OCI on the same number). Earliar I mailed to "pic@indianconsulate.com" regarding my status enquiries.
