OCI - San Francisco Tracker

[rseth123]

Based on my understanding of the process:

1. SF acknowledges cases like every week or 2 weeks. so it depends on when in the queue you applied which is why some people see acknowledgments in couple of days vs. weeks

2. OCI India dispatches documents in a specific interval too.

I agree with you. Mine was delivered on May 24; Acknowledged on Jun 11. After that status is exactly the same
Acknowledged: June 11th
Granted and Scanned: June 15
Printed: June 19th
Dispatched: June 21st

rseth123,

When you applied for all three members in the same application packet, how many return envelopes did you include? 1 or 3? Is it one return envelope per applicant or one per application packet?

Thanks in advance,
Jacob.

I think this time its my turn to give you guys an update :-

Applied for OCI + Surrender Certificate together for my wife, me and a kid (PIO to OCI for Kid).

1. Sent everything in one packet but attached separate money orders e.g. 2-$275 1-$145 and 2-$20 for Surrender Certificate.

2. Packet had 3 files: One for each candidate and 2 additional files for SC.

3. I sent my US and India passport together. (Different opinions are there for sending together vs. separate).

4. For OCI each file had a checklist.

5. Pasted 2 photos on the OCI form and sent 2 additional photos for each of us.

Reached SFO on June 7th
Acknowledged: June 11th
Granted and Scanned: June 15
Printed: June 19th
Dispatched: June 21st
Reached SFO: xxxx

Thanks

How long does it take SF to receive OCI cards dispatched from Delhi?

According to my app status my OCI card was dispatched from Delhi on June 15th. Does anyone with recent experience with CGISF please share how long it took them receive OCI cards from Delhi? My current status says cards are still not received from Delhi.

Thanks.

Not sure about CGISF, I've applied via DC and my status changed in 2 days from dispatched to receive (June 15 - June 17)... another battle for getting everything back now its been over a week I sent my PPTs.
