OCI - New York Tracker

sertra2002 - I don't really care how long it takes for them to process. I just want them to acknowledge that they have received the package. Let's assume for some reason (even though fedex / ups confirms they have delivered it) the package is misplaced / lost - do you realize the headache it would cost to get a replacement passport? In the event of an emergency travel to India, you are pretty much stuck!!!

Just venting out my concern. I understand your point as well, but please realize that everyone is different and everyone has different priorities....

Point taken, complexity. I just feel (as I said, I am guilty of this myself, so probably being hypocritical here) because the system is set up so that we can see our status updates online so soon, we start expecting some 'movement' almost as soon as one step is completed. I fully understand peoples anxiety and have nothing against them. I just feel the 'efficiency' of the online updates is actually their weakness also, if you understand what I mean. That is because we see others status getting updated so soon, we expect the same for ours also.

Same boat - received my Travisa a day later (March 09) - pinged them and got a reponse basically saying that they have too many applications in the process and will not be able to give an estimate when the packet will be opened. This was last week.

Finally Travisa NY acknowledged having received my OCI (March 21 - took them 9 business days), it will be forwarded to the consulate shortly.
 
I intend to renounce my Indian citizenship and apply for OCI next week, but I ran into an issue. My Indian passport expired in October 2005. I had NO idea because I just looked at it and never needed it until now! My parents have 20 year passports that were to expire in 2016, and we all applied at the same time for our passports. I guess it's because I was young, but I didn't realise it until today.

So, I filled out the form on Travisa, and it said I owed $250 in penalties, despite the fact that this penalty only applies if your passport expires after January 2005 AND you do not submit it for cancellation within 3 years OF NATURALISATION. I will be naturalised next week, so this should not apply to me. The Travisa lady was puzzled, and asked me to gill out the form again, and if it still didn't work, to call her to see what they could do. I tried again, and it is still showing the penalty, but by the time I was going to call back, they closed, so I thought I'd ask someone here.

It seems there's a bug in the application, eh?

Glad to hear that !!! Mine was delivered to Travisa a day after yours - hopefully will hear the same from them in a day or two.

Mine is only for a surrender certificate, but just got confirmation that they received the same. My application was received by them on March 8th as well via UPS. So they are about 2 weeks behind schedule.

My friend I am afraid you will have to read through the OCI Guidelines found at the Travisa website: at https://indiavisa.travisaoutsourcing.com/oci/guidelines.

Once you fill your details at the above webpage, it will show you the steps and the documents required. If you have a question about a specific point, please post it here.
