OCI Acknowledgment
From the posts here, it looks like it typically takes 1 month for an acknowledgment (i.e. for your case to show up on the online status).
Do you also receive an email acknowledgment when the status starts showing up online, or do you just need to keep checking the online status regularly?
Thanks.

They don't send any email for acknowledgement. Just keep checking online.

I sent mine mid July (17th I think), and I only have the Online registration (USASI) number. To check online you need the ack (USAS0) number - I haven't received that yet; and you need that info to check online.
Anyone else applied around mid-July?

Use the registration number you have on the application to check status. If you don't see anything, means they haven't acknowledged. So keep checking daily using the number you have on the application.

what is the website to check the statusI assume using the # starting with USA....)? I sent mine to the SF office on Aug 21st. I guess it takes about a month for them to ack.
thank you

Do we really need to get our Indian PP cancelled? I know that its they are not valid anymore - but it is really necessary for the Indian authorities to spell 'Cancelled' or similar on them?
Yes, you are required to surrender your Indian passport, when you revoke Indian citizenship. It will be CANCELLED with a notation "acquired xxx citizenship" and returned to you.

Shri Ganesh,
My OCI application was also received by SF on 8/20, and no status on my USASI# yet.
It ususally takes about 30-35 days in SFO for your application to appear online. If everything is OK the processing (scanning and granting) takes an additional 2 days. Within a week after that it is sent to San Francisco and the following Friday the CGISF updates their website with the list of cards received.
Hope it helps...

You should be able to get it by 10/20 or so, as long as there is nothing pending from your side on the application etc. I believe it is taking almost 8 weeks in total to get your OCI. It took exactly two months to the date for us to get our OCI.
Since you sent it on 08/20 I am guessing you should have it by 10/20 +/- a couple days. BTW, is it still not showing your application Acknowledged?
Good Luck...
