I just guessed that the photo's may be a problem and sent them another set. Apparently that was the problem. The OCI staff never informed me for over 2 months. The OCI was granted before the photo's scanned.
Scanned: 26 JAN 2010
Documents Printed: 27 JAN 2010
Documents Dispatched: 28 JAN 2010
Documents received at DC: NOT YET

When they say Documents Dispatched, does it mean from Washington to Delhi? or the other way around?
 
My dates are similar to yours. I sent the passports to DC on Jan 21, they got them on Jan 22. I haven't received the passports back with OCI yet. I sent $20 mailing fee. Should I be worried about losing the package?

I have a similar problem. My passports were received by the Embassy on Jan 27th but I still haven't got them back with the OCI cards?

The embassy never picks up the phones. Is their an email Id. I know they won't reply but atleast I can periodically send emails and hope they are getting read.

Please advise

The Documents received at DC on 04-FEB-2010.

To be on the safe side, since the Express Mail Rate has increased recently, I will be sending them an additional $5 stamps to affix on my envelope.

Thanks cpzinga for your response to my earlier question.
 
I applied for OCI recently and I am impressed with the progress made until now.

It's been 2 weeks since DC OCI received my US passports. I still haven't got the OCI booklet and passports? Is anyone in the same boat? Can anyone share DC's email-id or point me to the thread having it?

How long should I wait before I visit the embassy?

just fyi.

Most of the offices in DC (including many federal) have been closed since last sunday.
So this probably could be one of the reason......my guess.

Also, not sure if these offices will open tomorrow (wednesday) based on WEATHER REPORT .......AND BAD ROADS....


I am just another applicant like you.

Any inputs are appreciated...
1. Photo reqs on DC embassy shows US standard so no need for any photo mods right?
2. Wife last name got changed to mine during naturalization. So we need notary of marriage cert and notary of name change affidavit. Question is I do not see a place where she can sign the form (available on embassy site).
 
clt_guy,
Did your OCI appl got Acknowledged ?
I have sent mine on 02/08 and wanted to know how much time it is taking in recent times
