OCI - San Francisco Tracker

hmmm

thanks @cdup for sharing.

that seems a bit of an extreme step of declaring the passport lost. i read somewhere you can withdraw your application.

anyway, i sent an email today through the website asking for whats going on. and i asked them to advice me if i should withdraw my oci/apply for travel visa if they cant process it by my travel date.

i will keep you posted if i get a reply but i am not holding my breadth on that. i might start calling there if i dont get a reply or status update by the end of this week.

i am really kicking myself for sending all my passports along with the initial mail. thought that will expedite it..but shouldnt have done it looking back...hrrmmph.

anyway..keep me posted what you find and i'll do likewise.

cheers
 
My app was sent on Sep 20, received by CGISF on 21st Sep.
It was acknowledged last night and registration was granted.
I got frustrated as well and sent an email on friday to OCI cell to postpone my OCI app processing and to return my US Passports and it got ack'ed and granted surprisingly on Sunday, Oct 31st. Seems they only work on weekends.:)

Hopefully, you will hear yours in 1 or 2 days..
 
thanks kingno1. thats a relief to hear. its still going to be tight with my travel dates. i guess i will wait and see when my registration happens.
 
Finally got the OCI over the weekend:

My OCI application was sent to Sanfrancisco consulate on 10/07/10. Its been 4 weeks and I am not seeing any odates when I verified application status.
I am little bit concerned and worried that my OCI application status not changed.
I am seeing a message on SFO Indian Consulate " Due to some technical problems with printing of OCI cards in India, the registration process has been temporarily suspended. Please do not send in any new OCI application to the Consulate General of India in San Francisco. Inconvenience caused is regretted. Please check again later if this link has been restored". I am not sure if this causing delays to my application

Does anyone travelling in the same boat?

Thanks

I sent my daughter's OCI application on Oct 4th and SF Consulate received it on Oct 6th. No acknowledgement so far.We are travelling to India on December 18th.

Will I get it by then?

Should I email the Consulate and get the Passport back and apply for Visa?
 
@yoghurt. Can you share the email address you sent your email to? I have emailed the consulate 3 times with no response.

Hello,

For OCI card, do we need to submit original US passport at Indian Consulate in SFO while awaiting processing (which is typically 2-3 months)...or do we just send it for stamping after approval is done?

Thanks!
 
@ sellby,

I am in the same boat -they received my papaerwork on 27th september - no status yet.
and have been seeing their oci freq. questions about status's answer changinmg everyday - now they say they'll reply email after 45 business days -- it is killing.
need to travel on 21st dec -- very skeptical as to what to do.

my journey for OCI has abruptly ended. i got my docs along with PPs back on Nov 11. Reason? I did not self attest the copy of first page of indian passport (that already has my signature) :).
i will stick with visitor visa for now.
 
Sellbuy,
just bad luck!!!! I actually never understood the use of self-attestation....in the US, I have never had to do this for anything...
 
I wanted to apply for OCI for My minor son , In the checklist for OCI Application SFO, they are asking for US naturalization certificate, My son doesn't have one, Can I send copies of both parents naturalization cartificates instead? Please reply if anyone knows.
