I sent the Indian passport for Cancellation along with my OCI Application 3 weeks back (Jan19, 2007) . When are they suppose to send back the canceled Indian passport to me?
Hi rkumarcp,
Did you get your cancelled passport back?
FYI..
OCI applications are accepted by mail only for people planning to apply in person. Not sure why but thats the process in Chicago. But I had my Indian passport cancelled in less than a min. and was told they prefer to have copies of cancelled passport pages along with OCI app.

We received our OCI cards + U visa sticker yesterday. The Indian consulate, Chicago rocks and has very quick turnaround time.
Our OCI was granted on March 8, 2007 and received by consulate on March 17, 2007. Mailed US passports + Indian passports on March 19 and recd by consulate on March 22. Reced cancelled Indian passports + OCI Registration document + U visa affixed in US passports on March 30.
My experience in dealing with the Indian consulate in Chicago has been very positive and they have been very prompt in responding to email queries.

Yes just me and my spouse were sent in one envelope. Mr Badwal who handles the email for OCI enquiries in Chicago consulate is very prompt in responding when there are issues. I applied on Jan 9, 2007 and was granted on March 7, 2007. The acknowledgement date was Feb 12, 2007.
Chicago - slowest ??
It seems like of all the CGIs, Chicago is the slowest in processing OCI applications. Somewhere in the vicinity of 3 mos??
Seems like most people are not even receiving an acknowledgement in the self-addressed envelope they are enclosing !!
NY and SFO are moving quite fast, followed by Houston and DC.

Hi rkumarcp,
Did you get your cancelled passport back?
Yes , I got it back on Mar25. I sent my application on Fri,Jan19 (Received at Chicago on Mon, Jan 22)
I saw my status online at
http://ociindia.nic.in/ociindia/OnlineOCIenquiry.jsp
It's showing Status - Granted
Documents received at Chicago on Apr-09-2007
At this time should I wait for any letter/email/call from the Consulate to send the US passport or I should send it without waiting for any letter/email/call from the Consulate ?
What everyone does at this point in processing?
Thanks

Canadian Citizen, applied for OCI at Chicago
Hi, I am a Canadian Citizen.
And i applied for OCI through chicago consulate. File acknowledgement date is shown as Feb 15 on the web though to date i have not received any email or ack slip about the same. Its more than 2 months and there is still no change in status or information on the web. I see on the web that recent applications have been approved , not sure what is holding my application.
Posting any Non US citizen expereince would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Its taking progressively longer to get OCI app processed via Chicago Consulate. Based on your time line, I hope to get acknowledged around May 9 (64 days). Hope it doesn't get worse then that.
