Response time

I mailed our family application(3 members) on June 23.
It has been 2 weeks. Approximately when will the status change?
It still says "Application not acknowledged yet".
Tnx.

I'm in the same boat, applied 3 weeks ago and still waiting for some kind of online acknowledgement. And of course they are not responding to e-mails or phone calls (just goes to voicemail). I suppose this is to be expected given that this is an Indian organization!
 
It's been 3 and a half weeks for me as well. No acknowledgement yet. Perhaps folks are on an extended summer break!
 
I mailed my application on June 30th, the application was delivered to NY consulate on July 3rd. I am still getting this message
"Application with this number not yet Acknowledged"

I am wondering if they acknowledge application in NY or Delhi. After reading some other posting, it appears that the gap beween "application acknowledgement" and the "visa granted" is just a few days. I am thinking they just collect all the applications in NY and send it to India, that's why there is an initial time lag in application acknowledgement. Once its acknowkedged, everything else goes pretty fast.
 
So we have no tracking info for applicants who mailed in their applications on or after June 17, approximately.

If any of you mailed your applications after June 17 and got an acknowledgement, please post.
Thanks

Lucky you! I mailed mine on 06/20 as well. As per USPS, it reached NY on 06/22. Mine is a family application. Not sure if family application takes longer to process.
 
I mailed OCI application on 06/28. It reached CGINY on 07/02 (USPS confirmation). Status says "Application with this number not yet Acknowledged" Call New york office on 19-JUL-2007 at 212-774-0605. As per OCI person, it should take 3 to 4 weeks to grant OCI. But applications received in July-2007 may take 6 to 8 weeks to grant OCI because of staff shortage.
 
I mailed OCI applications for me and my spouse on 06/27. It reached CGINY on 07/02 (USPS confirmation). As of 19-JUL-2007, status says "Application with this number not yet Acknowledged". But I also sent the PIO for my kid on 06/27 in the same envelope with OCI appllications (+ $15 for return postage), and I got the PIO card today by UPS (along with old Indian and US passport + Indian Birth Certificate). One odd thing though: the Indian Passport does not have a "canceled" stamp on this. Do I need to resend to Indian Embassy for cancellation?

Please advise.
 
If your kid's oci was "not acknowledged"/granted, you might want to call the 212 number and ask them why they sent everything back.

Maybe since the wait time has increased, they dont want to keep anyone's travel documents until the status changes to granted.

Once the status changes, then you send the passports again and then will cancel and stamp passports, I guess.
 
I did not apply OCI for my kid, I applied for PIO (since its cheaper than OCI for kids) and got approved also. The only problem is : the Embassy officials did not put a "cancle" stamp on my kids's old Indian passport. Question: Do I need to send back the passport so they can put a "cancle" stamp.
 
Acknowledged Finally!

PM you should call CGI NY.

For all members of my family OCI applications were aknowledged today.
Date Apps were mailed: 06/23
Date Apps were acknowledged: 07/20

Looks like there is no staff shortage anymore.
All staff have returned from their 4 week "India" trips. :)

PM - Don't worry about the non stamping of the Indian passport. I guess they are not doing that anymore - delete stamping of Indian pp. I went to NY consulate today for oci stamping and they did not take my indian pp. So just ignore it. I guess they are refining the process by thinking why do we need to do this. Makes sense, who cares if you have valid US and Indian PP. US govt does not, then why should Indian govt. worry....Getting matured ..hehe.
