sg930 - my printing happened on the same or next day if I remember right
Now the long wait for the OCI to be recieved in SF. Was dispatched on the 13th....is the 25th today. I thought it usually arrived in 10 days after being dispatched from India to the Mission Office. Oh well,,, have to wait some more....

I am about to send my OCI app without my US passport ( I need to travel in next few weeks) ..Has this caused any problems at SFO ? I believe user ocisfo did the same and was awaiting his approval. Have not read any new updates from him...anybody else do this ?
Please let me know before I send it...

Thanks Jack - finally it says prinited for me (3 days after ack).
For your case - isn't there a rolling message (below the status window) which says if its more than 10 days after dispatch you should send a mail or contact them? Did you try that? I was checking in general (randomly) and saw many apps are like your status - dispatched more than 10 days ago but no date for receipt. Must be a long queue off late.

I did the same thing.. did not cause any problems. You have to check your OCI status online and email them when you see it arrived at SFO or after 10 days from the time of dispatch from India (it says so at the bottom of the status tracking window).
You are right...I did a search too and the last date anything was received at SF was on 13th August(and a whole bunch of them). Nothing after that. Infact the earliest date that anything says dispatched from India but not recieved here is Aug 11. So Nothing has arrived since 15 days. I wonder if they queue it up in India and then send in batch. I see that there are so many folks before me too who are with the same timeline. Hopefully that next shipment of OCI stickers arrives soon and wasn't being transported on that Chinese plane...

Hi,
I am applying for a Surrender Certificate + OCI and OCI for my two kids.
My question is around the number of supporting documents to be send. Both my wife and I have to include a copy of our passports (US and India) with our kid's application.
Do I include a copy for each of our passport for each of the kids. Do I need two copies each since everything is in duplicate.
In other words, am I to enclose 4 complete copies of each passport (8 copies for me and 8 for my wife) or can I actually use rational logic and enclose only 1 copy each?
Thanks.

Unless u want to take chance - follow the instruction verbatim - treat each application totally independent - that's what most of the forum members are following. I don't remember the exact count but think it came to 10 / 12 copies finally for my kid's birth certificate in our OCI app. so yes it is insane.

I admire your analysis.
I actually emailed them at oci@cgisf.org 2 hours back showing my concern about how the applications are not being acknowledged in the sequence that they are received at the consulate. They replied back within 60 min saying, my application is in process. Within 30 min of their reply, they acknowledged my application. I am not sure if all this is just incidental-coincidental or if my acknowledgement is a result of my contacting them. But I feel better now that things are moving for me, finally.

Thank you sg930.
The SF consulate replied to my message with the simple: "We need two copies of everything for the entire family application."
The issue is not birthcertificates - I can enclose 10 copies of them.. but the 34 pages of the Indian passport.. 8 copies of the Last Indian Passport and 8 copies of the Current US passport will require a brown moving box!
I don't have to travel within 2 months at least; let us see what they say. I have my application clearly marked; I will also enclose a copy of their e-mail.
What I will do is to make sure I have sufficient copies of the Driver's License, the Birth Certificates, etc (the single page documents).
