Hi, Just applied for OCI. Based on the timelines that I see posted here, it takes about a month to receive acknowledgment. So for the first there will no communications of any sort. Is this correct? Do we get an acknowledgment that they received it (except by Fedex/UPS).

Yes, sit back and relax :) - you have done your part. And start checking online status in 2-3 weeks time and follow the progress of your application.
 
Any update regarding the timeline for OCI in Chicago Consulate?

I posted my son's application on July 10 2008, the conuslate received it

on July 11, 2008, but still there is no acknowledgement.

I sent my wife's OCI application on July 9th but have not heard anything from them yet. I think it is usual for them to take this long.
 
I called the Chicago Consulate yesterday to check on the status of my wife's OCI application. As expected, the guy was rude even without knowing what I was calling for. He said I have to wait for 14 weeks before calling them about OCI status.
 
OCI application appeared online

Good News!! My wife's OCI application appeared online today with the date of acknowledgement showing as 21st August. Hope it will move faster now.
 
Hi Everyone,
I mailed my OCI application to Chicago office on July 22nd and they received it on July 23rd. Still no response or update on the website. Any suggestions?
