OCI - New York Tracker

on my application on Travisa's site it never changed from submitted to consulate to received
3/16/2011 10:18am PST Service order form completed online
04/05/2011 12:46pm PST Order form and supporting documents received, payment processed
04/06/2011 3:07pm PST Documents prepared to go to Embassy.
04/07/2011 8:49am PST Documents dispatched from Travisa Outsourcing Office to Consulate

you can always check https://passport.gov.in/oci/OnlineOCIenquiry.jsp to see if they have acknowledged it, thats what I had to do.
 
Thanks

I am where you were on 4/6 and i noticed that for most people it either goes on hold or goes to documents prepared or dispatched status in a day or 2 atmost. It has been 9 business days and no update. Very frustrating....

The govt site still shows not acknowledged.
 
I am in the process of converting from PIO to OCI. In the list of documents, Original passport & PIO should be sent along with the Application form. Is this true? sending the original document for ~3 months is something that I am thinking. Also should I need to send a copy of Naturalization certificate?

Thanks in advance for the response.
 
kannad...Travisa is asking for the original PIO card (Point # 6), so you must send the original. If you're having seconds thoughts about the 3 month time limit, then maybe you shouldn't apply. Travisa has increased the speed of the OCI process. So it may not be 3 months, maybe 6-8 weeks including the time it takes them to open the mail. Yes you do need to send a copy of NC as it clearly states at Point # 7. Original US passport must be sent too (Point # 5) ...
Important! Not sending the actual US passport is the #1 reason why OCI applications are not accepted. The US passport is required with no exceptions.

Has anyone seen a change to the OCI status as printed in the past few days. I believe that there is a trouble with printing of OCI cards.

At least 3 Houston based cases, based on posts here and on immihelp tracker, print date of May-20.
 
Apparently my application was rejected on 5/2. I NEVER GOT AN EMAIL ABOUT IT! I called yesterday, waited for 1000 hours, and was told this. After a heated discussion, I had to write a notarised letter and fax it to them explaining why my passport had expired in 05 and I never renewed it. This will be resolved next May, hopefully. Hehe.
 
Hi All,
This is my first post to this forum. After a long wait of 26 days from 'REGISTRATION STATUS GRANTED', finally I was able to see 'DOCUMENTS PRINTED STATUS' updated in my case. I have purchased tickets for family to goto India in June. Hoping to get the OCI before their departure date.

Regards

HI,
Did you ever get OCI for your daughter? I know its been 5 years or more. I am in similar situation. I applied for OCI for my daughter last year (sept 2010) and they have acknowledged but the rest says "under process". I have sent emails, fax, postal mail, phone calls but no answer to any of my questions/concerns. Please let me know----how did you manage to get OCI (if you happen to get one).
Thanks
Shiva

I am sure that this has been rejected. It cannot take this long. My son's application was rejected last year and they sent the application back. Surprisingly, they also sent the application of some other applicant back in the package. It was rejected also.
I would suggest that you call the OCI section in the Indian Consulate NewYork at 212-774-0633 and ask for Phalguni or Miss Mittal. Let me know the situation and ask them what happened to your application
 
Hello,

I am planning to send my wife's OCI application next week to NY center. I read through the instructions that the photo should have light ackgroud other than white, now where do i get that since most of the places here it is either white or dark blue.

Also only 2 photos (one on each form) is required?

The instructions does not require us to send original US passport whereas wesite says Original US passport needs to be sent right at the begining of the aplication, now what is true?

Also how do we get our US passport back after the OCI has been issued, since Form does not stat anything on returning of the passport whereas website askes to pick it up in person.
