Our OCI got back from Delhi on 19th March and our US passports reached SF office on 17th March. We have a travel scheudled on 3/30/2010 - I was hoping that the passports will be shipped from SF after stamping and getting them before our travel.

Since we didn't receive them on 3/27 (Saturday), we went to SF Office on Monday. After 2 hours of searching, they told me that the package is sent from their office on Friday (3/26) evening. The USPS tracking number doesn't show any update on their site. Since this is an express mail, I am bit confused about their claim about Friday dispatch.

I am out of ideas now about how to proceed - looking any clues :-(

Thanks for reading
 
I guess their answer of that they had sent can be an irresponsible answer.
Reason:Then why it is not in USPS tracking ?If not where it gone?
Can they officially claim to USPS they have mailed?
Then let them give some kind of despatch receipt.
We are also waiting for our daughter's(about the same times) and so far no hint.
I think something strong need to be done now with them I guess.
Also--I am wondering --whether tehy assigned desapatch to 3rd party!

Just curious, was your daughter's application granted/scanned/printed/etc along with yours ?
 
Both applcaition sent at same time receieved same time.
Acknowledged 8 days later (to me.)
printed 8 days later.
Recd at SF 12 days later.
PP not yet received even 13 days later.
(Still no tracking number)
 
Ok. Finally we got the OCI and Passports back. After one consulate visit and multiple emails and phone messages, consulate folks called me to inform that due to mail issues my express mail was returned to them! So I picked the package today and now getting ready for tomorrow's travel!

Thanks for the help and good luck to all who is waiting.

OCI Questions.. Please advice...
I want to apply OCI for my Wife and 3 daughters in SFO, I am still holding the Indian Passport.
The online form for Family Group will allow only 2 minor daughters.

Questions :
1. how to fill the details for the 3rd minor daughter
2) do I still need to fill my details in OCI family group
 
How long it takes for OCI to reach me after SF has received. Isn't it overnight express envelope that we send?
 
I sent an email to CGISF. They replied saying that if they already have our US passports, then it takes around 5-7 business days for final processing after they receive the docs from Delhi. My docs were received on 2nd, and I am still waiting.

Fill out a separate application for your third daughter.
