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
Hello EastIndian
I received my SC today by Priority Mail with Delivery Confirmation(Tracking).
The timeline is below:
Send on 7/15/10
USPS tried to deliver on 7/17/10 but SFO consulate was closed as it was Saturday.
USPS finally delivered on following Monday 7/19/10 at 10:30 a.m.
SC dispatch from SFO consulate on last Friday 7/30/10.
Received today Monday 8/2/10 at 12:25 p.m.
I also send my OCI application today by Priority Mail with Delivery Confirmation. The Delivery Confirmation is free if you pay online.
A new timeline begins.....
Thanks
Sarang9.
I applied for SC & OCI together to CG-SF on July 19 (recd. date at CGISF), how do I get the acknowledgement? mail or email or online? pl advise.
Can someone who is going to SF ask what to submit if minor traveled to USA with parent's Indian Passport, which was allowed practice in the 1960's and early 1970's!!
I have parent original Indian Passport with my name written in.
I have submitted SC form with explanation. Hopefully they will read and not just send back with missing Passport reply.
You should visit https://passport.gov.in/oci/OnlineOCIenquiry.jsp regularly and enter your File# to check the current status of the application.
If acknowledged, it will populate the acknowledgement number in this same page...
One should continue doing this status check page until the status shows something to the effect of "Documents reached the consulate"....
I believe, SFO applicants submit original PP at the time of application, correct?
Hope this helps....
I really appreciate if someone can clarify my question.I don't see any provision to glue second photograph to the OCI application part A.Could someone clarify what it means 'both glued to the forms'?
Pl. provide two - (2" X 2") - size photographs, both glued to the forms
I know that SFO requires people to submit name change docs like ad placed in indian paper/US paper and name change certificate.
1. Is this absolutely necessary? Can I send the court order and also an ad placed in local US paper? The indian ad is causing me problems.
2. Also if name change is just addition of one letter in last name is it still necessary to treat like a name change . Ex : From Ericson to Erickson
Nope, mine is not showing any ack info. Surprisingly, when I enter my Passport no & DOB; it says it couldn't find my registration no either.
