how long after acknowledgement - to print, to ship to SFO

OCI app is acknowledged, granted, photo scanned all on 9/14. but i havent seen any progress after that (today is 18th). i see most members get it printed in 2-3 days, shipped in 3-5 days to sfo...

anyone acknowledged/approved in the last week got it printed, shipped to SFO?

may be i should just chill and not check it daily :rolleyes:
 
Holy Cow!! That was too close for comfort. Got your OCI just days before having to fly. Wow. I am glad that your stress levels have returned to normal! Congrats!

Question on OCI+SC: Can this be sent in the same application to SFO and if one return envelope is enough. Please advise if anyone has done this recently. Website is vague.

Hi,
Below is my status.
The date in the "Documents Printed On 22-SEP-2010 " column keep on changing from 15-SEP to 22-SEP four times.
There is no status update "Documents Dispatched to Concerned Mission/Office on xxxxx " in this column.

Is this normal?
or
Is there any problem. I gave an e mail to CGISF. No reply from them.

Any input is appreciated.

Printing difficulties...

Hey
I see that my file is acknowledged, registration granted, photo scanned. But for the last 12 days i havent seen it change to printing, dispatch.

Is this common? i have seen that CGISF website has added a statement that due to printing difficulties it takes 60days.

I need to be in India 1st week of Nov for an important family affair. What are my options? should i apply for a PIO or a travel visa? will i get it in 2 weeks?

thx
 
Printing difficulties? Seriously?

This is insane - they penalize us for being of Indian origin, they take weeks to process a entry request into our country of origin, and now they have "printing difficulties that will jeopardize travel plans" ?!

All e-mails correspondence with the consulate results in a 1-line reply "Sir/Madam - in an emergency, please apply for a visa." How? They have our US passports, we are not sure if they have processed our surrender certificates, and then there is the time/expense for the visa.

I am sure many of us will pool money for a new printer for the Ministry of Home Affairs.

For those who are doing an amazing job of tracking these events, please do post if you see any movement.

Thank you.

It seems your documents are printed today !!! :)

nitinmit: It seems the printer has starting working again .....
 
They use typewriters.. Hence it takes months to print one page. ;)

Documents Printed ????????
 
Thanks Shibuphx.

Had a not-very-polite e-mail exchange with the Consulate where I told them that they needed to stop sending form replies. They asked for a phone number soon after that.
 
Printed date changed thrice

My printing date was 27th, then 28th, this morning it was 29th :)

Don't know if the machine works but not correctly....great test for my patience:rolleyes:
 
nitinmit

looks like you have applied for surrender cert and OCI together.
i am planning to do the same.
can you please help me with what documents are required for this. the Sfconsulate website is too confusing.
OR you could point me to some other post that already have this info.

Regards
 
Looks like I am struck with the printing issue too.. I applied for my daughter a week before mine (while I was waiting for SC), and she got her OCI last week.

Hello Anand,
I used the link cgisf.org/oc/OCI%20checklist.pdf to download a checklist and I followed it diligently. For any questions that I had, I did a quick search on this forum.

When in doubt about things like "1st and last pages of passport" Versus "copy of entire passport," err on the side of sending more.
As you must have gathered, it is taking about 30 calendar days for your application to be acknowledged and another 30 for you to get it back.

Good luck.
