Updates

Hi Dec 2010, any updates after your PP were received at the consulate

 

[up2010_dec17]

No updates whatsoever.. I think TRAVISA is slowed down again.. PP acknowledgement took so long for them to update.. guess should be the same with the receiving from the consulate. Hopefully next week atleast we see some update(s) from TRAVISA.

Hello,
I applied for OCI for myself and my family (Husband, Wife and 2 kids). I sent the application on 10/18 and it got delivered on 10/19. Same day (10/19) they opened the application and processed the payment. So now its waiting to be sent to Consulate for processing.
I will post the status details as I get them.
Thanks.
Rajiv.

Dear members.,

Please advise and clear me as following questions

1) I wish to apply the OCI card for (meself + wife + 17 years kid + 12 years kid)

Definitely apply before your 17-year old turns 18 because otherwise, he/she will have to apply separately.

2) How many OCI registration forms should I submit on line ? or if one family application enough , can i take prints outs 8 ?

When you enter your family info and submit online, there will be a single PDF document (several pages) generated for your family of four. Make sure you save this PDF to your computer. This PDF will consist of four Part As (one for each of you) and one Part B (that covers all of you as a group). You will need to complete these four Part As (photos,signatures/thumb prints) and also the single Part B with common info. Then you need to make a second set of these four Part As and common Part B.

3) How many Order forms should i submit ? If one submission enough , then I take 8 print outs ?

I think you are referring to the Travisa order form right? Only one copy is needed (no need for a duplicate).

4) What about fee (total amount) $290 x 4 , can i take single money order , if diff please clear me how many money orders needed with payable to who ?

Make sure you get your Indian passports canceled and the surrender certificates issued for each of you who was a former Indian citizen/passport holder. You can submit the cancellation/surrender certificate application together with this OCI application but just make sure you include the necessary fees for this as well. Everything can be in a single money order for the total amount needed and you make it payable to "Travisa Outsourcing"

5) Should i send all required documents with duplicates through single envelop ?

Yes submit everything as one big submission in a single envelope

6) Is it one prepaid envelop enough to send along with all documents ?

Yes. I believe you will get your canceled Indian passports, surrrender certificates and new OCI cards back with your OCI-visa stamped US passports. So only one return envelope may be all that is needed. But I'm not positive and others can weigh in on this.

7) how to generate the shipping label ?

Open an FedEx or UPS account online. Link it to your credit card and then generate a "Return label" from your online account using the appropriate functionality. Print out this return label and include it with a FedEx or UPS envelope. Also make sure you submit another copy of the return label also with submission because they ask for this.

8) how to generate the PART - A and PART - B, how many part A forms needed & how many Part B forms needed ?

See my answer to your second question.

Hi JP

Thanks you very for you help and time.

Just clarification --> I can make 4 + 4 part A
1 + 1 Part B

1. Check the Travisa OCI website for all contact and other info: Travisa OCI

2. Yes. Just remember that the PDF that is generated once you submit your online OCI info for your family of four, will create 4 Part As (one for each member) and one Part B (common for all) and there will be additional pages of instructions (which do not need to be submitted with your application). When this PDF (of four Part As, one Part B and other instructions) is generated and pops up on your screen, save it to your computer. Print out two copies of this entire PDF and fill out all necessary details, add photos, signature/thumbprints, etc. In the end, your first application set will consist of four Part As and one Part B. Similarly, you will need a duplicate application set of four Part As and one Part B to submit with your OCI package submission.

Hope this helps. Just read all the info in the Travisa website, I think they make it as clear as possible and also have a video of what to submit.

Travisa submission of docs to CGI-NY

Submitted my son's OCI application to Travisa last week. They received it on Thurs 11/3, reviewed the submitted application/docs and cashed the check on the same day. The status has been at "Documents prepared to go to Embassy" since Fri 11/4. I'm wondering whether this is typical of Travisa to sit on things instead of just sending the docs to the CGI. I recognize that there were two holidays this week that the CGI was closed for. However, this delay is inexplicable because clearly the application and supporting docs are complete and all they need to do is send them over to the CGI. Anyone have a similar experience lately?

Yes, mine took 9 days to move from "Documents prepared to go to embassy" to the next status "Documents dispatched to embassy".

Thanks for letting me know. I just checked the Travisa status and now see that the docs were dispatched to the CGI-NY this morning. No email status update on this yet.
