I had paid the $20 mailing charge along with OCI fee
Yes in all 4 instances of OCI application for my family members they never cared to use the self addressed return envelope .

@Whiteone....looking at the signatures of most of the recent OCI folks, it looks like the transition from "scanned"--> "Granted" seems to have taken place in about 8-10 days time frame. Yours seems to have taken about 20 - 25 days so far.

Did yours have any scanning issues that you know of?
(ie., any interaction with the embassy regd. scanning??)

Cheers,
speedy

Really if you think about the statement, how can the receipt of documents at the Mission/Office be ealier than the dispatch?? Always the dispatch will be earlier right??
(of course, I am interpreting the "despatch" as "despatched from New Delhi to WDC" and "receipt" as the "receipt of the docs dispatched from New Delhi to WDC")

I believe that is the standard mesg since thats what I saw on the screen in my friend's case.

Cheers,
speedy

PP Reached DC on 3/25/2010.

NOT YET RECEIVED PP WITH STAMPING SO FAR (4/2/2010).
All the required fee were paid ($ 20 along with initial application and also I sent extra stamps - just in case of additional need - along with the cover letter on 3/24)

I have not yet received US passports back after stamping. I sent the passports on 3/22/10 onvernight express and received at Washington on 3/23/10. Does anyone know how long it takes to get the passports with OCI ? Is there anyway to contact or know the status of our passports ? I sent an email OCI enquiry email box but no response from that.

I am in the same boat as you are .

I sent the pp on 3/23.
Not yet received the pp with stampings.

My guess is "We will get it either Wednesday or Thursday of this week"
Also, it is not easy to get any one on the phone..... Per what i heard from my friends.

Good luck,

gee24
