OCI Passport Match-up fee ?

[ocioci]

I sent OCI documents on 29-August-2013 and Washington DC BLS received it on 3-September-2013. BLS processed it and send it Washington Embassy on 18-Oct-2013 !! I checked OCI status on
http://passport.gov.in/oci/statusEnqury and see that the OCI documents reached Washington Embassy on 7-Dec-2013.

I would like to know if I need to send Order form, Check of $4.70 and Cover letter for OCI Passport Match-up. Someone please confirm.

Nope. No more fees needed.

You timeline is unusually long

Then why they have mentioned on their website http://www.visa.blsindia-usa.com/ociPassportMatchup.php under OCI requirement guidelines that we need to pay $4.70 for OCI Passport matchup.

Please verify. This process is getting cumbersome. BLS should go away.

Read carefully - "Please select this option if you had previously applied for an OCI before Indian Visa Application Center began handling OCI applications for your jurisdictio ..."

That is, if you applied at Travisa.
