After a long wait (4.5 months), my case moved forward to "Documents despatched from Delhi - 18th Dec 2006"

It has been more than 10 days & there is no movement .. Do I need to contact CGI??

Thanks

Ocimee,
Can you advise on the nature of the OCI application you had submitted? Had you requested any of your successor(s) for OCI on the basis of you and your spouse being an Indian OR you applied on behalf of your parents being Indian ? There is a pattern of such a delay if this is the case .
I myself have applied for my daughter and it has been over 4 months and no word yet.
Please let us know the details of how you applied for OCI.

If you are close to your CGI, its probably better to go in person. I read its a one day process (atleast in US) for the U-visa stamping. If you have to take a day off and drive, I would just mail it if I were you.
 
Can I mail my passports

Harry2005 and all

My Status shows Doc recvd at Washington - not yet

however, I sent an email to CGI stating that it has been 2 weeks and is it the right time send my passport for stamping. Got a reply stating to mail the passport.

Is it ok to send my passports though the online status is 'not yet"

Have anyone experienced this.. or done it???

thanks for your input

Crazy Photo requirement for OCI

Hello,

This is a question to the existing persons who applied for OCI .

How did u take/manage to get the photo with a light
colour background instead of white?

or did u send it with the white background passport photo.

Did anyone contacted the embassy regarding this ?
 
I took my wife Duppatta (sandal color) and put it on top of the White board at Wallgreens and took the photos for my whole family. This idea was given by one of the members in this forum.

I did not got my acknowledgement so far and so cannot claim its acceptance but it is not so bad and it is a good idea.

I applied at 13th Feb at Houston.

I took yr advice on -> duppatta ) and went to wegmans
and they charged me 7.99 for 6 copies, He was ready
to change the background with the one i provide, It came out well,
On size front, I sent a mail Indian embassy, they responded promptly
that regular US size of 2 inches by 2 inches should be fine.
Wegmans professional was very nice and they have a nice photo editing
picture to adjust the photo.

Hi sterling_2001,

As per Superho's timeline, your case should acknowledged by 03/30/2007 [atleast] and mine should be in next week. That's my guess only.
