OCI - New York Tracker

Mailed: May 19
Received at CGI NY: May 21
Acknowledged: May 31
Photo/Signature Scanned: June 5
Registration Status: GRANTED June 7 (Indian time) = June 6 (EST, USA)


Documents printed: June 7


Only thing to wait for is the dispatching and receiving of documents.

Hats off to the OCI office personnel. By the way, I wonder why we are praising CGI NY, when majority of the process happens in New Delhi. And that is why another intriguing fact is that different CGI have different turn around time, even though the central processing spot is New Delhi! Any thougnts?

You might want to check the threads from other consulates (houston, SF, chicago etc) to see their timelines, then you would understand. Just to give you a rough estimate, the time it took for your documents to be printed is about the typical time for other consulates to acknowledge. Also it takes about 2-3 months to go thro' the whole process at other consulates compared to 1 month at NY consulate.
 
Another update! Way to go!

Impressed!

However, another intriguing fact: My brother's and my applications reached CGI NY on the same day, but he is a day or two behind on every step ever since the date of acknowledgment! Any rhyme or reason? He lives in NJ and I live in PA.

Wait a minute....This is the first time I am seeing somebody mentioning the document printed status TWICE! I thought that the "Documents printed on 25-MAY-2007" step means that the actual OCI cards are printed, and then dispatched to CGI NY. If not, how would I know when the CGI NY is done printing my OCI card (there are no more items after "Documents received at CGI NY" on their website for on-line status check.

Please advise, as I am getting closer to that time.

Status check link is working for me..

Status check link is working for me.

What is does "Date Of Acknowledgment" really mean ? Is the application opened by CGI-NY or the application received at Delhi office?
 
I submitted FORM A online with errors, I didnt send FORM B / Supporting Documents, Can I resubmit FORM A again, or should I call CGINY to cancel or modify the first FORM A documents?

I just received mine too about 30 minutes back at 11:00 Saturday June 30th

CITIN, your title says received saturday, your message says Friday June 29th.

Anyhow, Thanks To everyone especially Rajiv Khanna for maintaining this site. I used this site from my labor filing all the way to OCI. This forum helped me to network and get my consular processing case processed under trying circumstances when a bunch of us lost our papers during the anthrax scare (post office, congressional mail was seized as evidence and our diplomatic pouches became part of the evidence).

Thanks again to everyone....

It has been over two months since Date of Acknowledgement. Normally you the OCI is granted within 30 days of Ack.

Whom do I call or e-mail to enquire?

Please advise.
