OCI - San Francisco Tracker

my usps envelope tracking is still not showing up -- so that means since monday is off, expect an update earliest after tuesday.
 
NO change

No hit on the USPS express mail tracking ID -- I just checked. Maybe tomorrow I guess -- next monday is off for CGISF too.
 
OCI applied and application delivered...

Applied for OCI last week; wanted to add my details so people can track. Didnt realize Sat and Mon were holidays for San Francisco and sent the package through priority mail on Friday. Status of package was showing - attempted to deliver - for two days, but somehow shows as delivered today. So I am assuming consulate scheduled the redelivery.

Waiting for OCI approval now

My documents were received on 17th Sept also, but looks like they have not shipped my passport/OCI till now.
 
I should be getting mine too now...mine were also received on 17th and the passport was already with them.
 
Hmmm Just FYI, now my daughter's online status's file number shows her US passport number instead of the file registeration number, so maybe they do have processed it.

What a bummer...

My application was returned (after waiting for 12 days) because the PIO fees was increased from $25 to $145.

So please note of the change if you are applying.

Click to expand...

I think they recently changed the fee's , i double checked with consulate before sending $145 for PIO holder, they did not updated amount on the oci form which still says $25 for the PIo card holder but sf consulate site shows the correct fee.

Here's the message i got from them.

From: "OCI" <oci@cgisf.org>

Dear Sir/Madam,

Fee for Minors applying to upgrade PIO to OCI is $145.00




Thanks,

Sincerely,
