OCI - San Francisco Tracker

Did you guys sent original US passport along with the application?

I'm not sending US pp along with application. I'm will be starting new job next 2-3 weeks and need US pp for I-9.

Any risk of not sending it with the OCI application?

HI Sarang,

It was a typo.I live in Seattle and I sent my application on June 28th and received by the consulate on 06/30. The top portion of my application got damaged sue to some reason and they changed my reg. # that is the reason why I couldn't track the application. After talking to one of the vice consul (after trying for more than 20 times) If ound this. Now my application is on track.
Thanks
Mal

Do you live very close to the CGI SFO as your Priority Mail was send and received on the same day; &
For your return Priority Mail envelope did you use Delivery Confirmation which gives you tracking?

Kindly check your submission documents and possible you missed something like SC, etc...

Also read the previous pages of this thread to get more idea as to when the CGI SFO will reply or ask for more documents..

If you are in no rush I would suggest to wait until 2 more weeks and then again contact the CGI SFO by email.

Wish you good luck and hopefully you will get some reply soon from them.

Hi sg930,
I created two sets of Part A and B along with all the supporting documents. Except for Surrender Certificate where I attached the original SC and a copy for the duplicate set, all other documents were two copies, including documents required for name change (Maiden to married - Notarized affidavit -- original and one copy, 2 copies of notarized marriage certificate and 2 copies of spouse's passport). Also, I self attested all the copies (naturalization certificate, passport copies, driver license etc.,) not just the ones they mention. They all fit nicely into one Express Mail envelope!

sounds like srioci and I have done the same thing? Atleast that was how I interpreted his post.

I have a question - how do you find out your acknowledgement number? Is it via email?
 
Thanks Sri -

Ack number would be the one that's printed on ur Part A. Should look like USASIxxxxxxxx. Each applicant gets a different number.

I am not sure if the one generated during the application registration is Ack#.
When you visit https://passport.gov.in/oci/OnlineOCIenquiry.jsp, it asks for Ack#, Registration#. Registration# is what is printed the OCI application, I believe. Correct me if I am wrong....
Also, if I supply the USAXXXXXXXX value in the File Ack# field, it complains that it is invalid.... whereas, if i use it in Reg# field, it is able to verify the status.
 
Another Update on the OCI application.

Just found something from a friend whose status is acknowledged. When his Reg# is fed into this inquiry page, it automatically populates the Ack# in that first text field. From then on you can hang on to that number as well.
 
Actually that is right. I misstated. U can do status inquiry with the Online Registration Num which is USASIxxxxxxxx. Once acknowledged, they will assign a new Ack number - i think USASOxxxxxxx or something similar.

Thanks. I entered just my registration Number and it brought back a message saying that my application was not yet acknowledged. So i guess I can check again in a couple of weeks and see if the status has changed.
 
Hi Sarang9,

Any updates on your SC? Have you received it?
For me it has been 18 calendar days and 14 working days already. How about you?

Thanks
