Sorry to be jumping in but here is how it goes, I think.
The consulate in US does the scanning (uploads into the system) and grants it (after consultation with the Ministry of Home Affairs - done using online database checking). People in Delhi just print it and mail it back to the consulate in the US.

OCI - Houston Status related questions - Please Help
First of, thank you for a very informative forum. Really helped me out while applying for my OCI
Me & my family are Canadian citizens (10 years ago) and live in the US.
We recently applied for the OCI. I have all the documentation that was asked for and sent it in.
Online status says ---
Registration Status : UnderProcess
Photo/Signature Scanned On 03-MAR-2010
Documents Printing Status NOT PRINTED
Documents Dispatched to Concerned Mission/Office on NOT DISPATCHED
Documents Received at HOUSTON NOT YET
I see from the sticky thread that others are seeing the Granted status real quick. Mine has been in the UnderProcess status for over 12 days now.
My Questions are:
1. Will I get an actual acknowledgment in the mail or email? or just see it online?
2. How do I know that all the documentation I have submitted is good, are they needing more?
3. Will there be any complications, given that Me, my wife are Canadian citizens (10 years ago). Older son, born in Canada. Younger son (US citizen) born in USA?
4. I am thinking of traveling to India in June, do I need to consider a Visa as well?
Thank you all for your help.

-----Online
2. How do I know that all the documentation I have submitted is good, are they needing more?
--------if they ask send them. FYI if you are Canadian citizens did you send copy of your status in US like GC/H1/F1/J1/EAD in duplicate? they need your status document in US and Utilty Bill / US DL copy ?
3. Will there be any complications, given that Me, my wife are Canadian citizens (10 years ago). Older son, born in Canada. Younger son (US citizen) born in USA?
------did you incluse the copy of Birt certificate of children?4. I am thinking of traveling to India in June, do I need to consider a Visa as well?
------ Wait 7-10 days for OCI status, you are going to India in June you should consider Visa option 1-25 days before your Departure date.Thank you all for your help.
Thank you for your prompt reply.
2. I just sent them the I-94 card copy in duplicate. There is no US Visa in my passport, since Canadians don't need an Indian Visa. I did not send my H1 petition, or utility bill or DL copies. Since the instructions did not ask for them, I did not send them.
3. Yes, I did send the birth certificates of all children
Should I now wait for them to ask me for more documentation, or should I proactively send out these copies?

------They will ask for Utility bill/DL copy. Send them now with your Online registration number on Cover letter and request them to attach with your file. If you dont send wait and they will ask for the documents.
