No luck for me :(

My OCI application was received by the consulate on August 21, but it has not yet been acknowledged. My reference number is USANI43xxxxx. I entered this 12 character reference number on the Online OCI inquiry page, and it says "Application not yet acknowledged". Do others also have a 12-character reference number? I tried leaving out the USANI part, as well as trying USAN1xxxxxxxx etc and I get the same message. So it seems to be a generic message.

If there was a problem with my application preventing acknowledgment how would I know? Should I call the NY office?

The time it takes to acknowledge varies. It sometimes takes them a month or more but the rest of the steps go pretty fast after that. I would say wait a week or two before getting too worried. Your application will probably get acknowledged by then.

Are you planning to mail your passport?, or carry it with you to the embassy for stamping?

Thanks
 
On track now :)

Ok, Application acknowledged today 09/07/07. So it looks like I am on track, maybe the Labor Day holiday caused the delay of 2 days compared to the ones who have posted their timelines here recently.

I am planning to go New York for stamping and cancellation of Indian Passports. I applied for all of four members of my family and I don't know how they are going to handle by mail, so I decided to go personally.....

Did you go to NYC for OCI stamp? If so, what was your experience at NY Consulate?

Not yet. I have been too busy at work to take a day off. Maybe this Friday (was originally planning to go last Friday). I will let you know after I go there and get the OCI stamp.

I see references to this "Photo/Signature Scanned" dates on here. Where does one see this message? All I see under my name is "Under Process". I check my status on

http://ociindia.nic.in/ociindia/OnlineOCIenquiry.jsp

and I do not see the "Photo Scanned" field there on that web page.

As soon as the embassy scans your photos and signature, a new field ( "Photo/Signature Scanned" ) is added , until then you won't be able to see this field.
 
Problem with Application?

My application was received at NY on August 21, and was acknowledged on September 7, yet I do not see any Photo/Signature Scanned field on the enquiry web page. People whose application was received later than mine seem to be in better shape.

I wonder if this indicates a problem with my application, or with the photographs sent with the application. Has anyone had any success reaching the OCI cell (phone number is 212-774-0605)? It just rings and rings, and no one picks up.
