OCI Update

anuraj,
It looks like we mailed on the same date from the same place. We have the same updates too. Let's see what happens from this point :)

Sent application to CGISF (w/ US passport) Sept 3 (From Sunnyvale)

Date Of Acknowledgment 14-SEP-2009
Registration Status Granted On 15-SEP-2009
Photo/Signature Scanned On 14-SEP-2009
Documents Printing Status NOT PRINTED
Documents Despatched From Delhi On NOT DISPATCHED

Hello done_that, anuraj and gopalg :
we all seem to have sent in our application in the same week. I pre-emptively sent in my daughter's passport today, in the hope that the OCI docs are received by CGISF tomorrow and they can process her case right away.
I had done the same thing for me and my wife's OCI application last year as well.
I will keep you posted on any updates on my part -- sent the passport (s) ( US + Indian ) by 1 day priority mail from San Jose, should be at CGISF tomorrow sometime.

anuraj -- Nope, still the same status. I am planning for India trip next week, so let's hope I receive my pp/oci soon.

No nothing yet, docs still not received at SFO , dispatched from Delhi on the 8th Sept for me. My passports are already at the consulate with the USPS express mail return envelope, so I am hoping to avoid that delay of docs received to passport received by consulate.

"Please contact the Mission/Office after 10 days from date of despatch or any day after receipt of documents at the Mission/Office, whichever is earlier"


Is this a common message that everybody gets after it is despatched from Delhi.

Thanks in advance for the reply.
 
I too see the following message scrolling in the bottom of the status page. I assume that this is a common message and I don't have to do anything. I have sent the passports with self addressed, stamped envelope along with the application. So, I should receive the OCI / passports back as soon as the SFO consultate receives them. Please let me know if that's not correct

Please contact the Mission/Office after 10 days from date of despatch or any day after receipt of documents at the Mission/Office, whichever is earlier.

I had already sent the passports on Monday 9/14 and they were received on 9/15, so now I am just waiting for the receipt of the OCI card, the US passport with the U-Visa and the cancelled Indian passport in the express mail envelope I provided...
 
next week

CGISF consulate holidays on 21st and 28th, so there may be some delays in their response time

Hi gopalag,

I am trying out the USPS express mail tracking number to see if they have mailed it out for me, if you can do so, please post your update, I will do the same.

thanks!
 
I checked the USPS tracking, but NO update. I hope they ship it today....
