OCI - Washington DC Tracker

GOT MY PASSPORTS WITH STAMPING.
THAT WAS A WONDER GUYS.
LONG ANXIOUS JOURNEY IS OVER.
MY N-400 WAS DONE IN LESS THAN 2 MONTHS.....BUT MY O C I TOOK MORE THAN 3 MONTHS.....THAT's THE WAY IT IS.....

YESTERDAY I TALKED TO THE EMBASSY GUY (IT WAS THEIR CALL).
AND I GOT IT BY TODAY's MORNING DELIVERY UPS .
SEEMS LIKE THEY WERE ABLE TO TRACE THE PASSPORTS IMMEDIATELY.

I thank every one in this forum (especially TSB, GIRISH, speedy, sam HITRAJ........all all others) for their inputs and kind words.
Imagine a situation without feed backs.......it would be like a dead end for quite some time.....and won't know how to proceed.
WISH YOU ALL THE BEST IN ALL ENDEAVORS IN LIFE.

Now that was the good news I've been looking for Gee24!!! Congratulations buddy!!! Finally you will have a great weekend without thinking about OCI a bit :)) enjoy....
 
Gee24,
Congratulations on getting the PP's with OCI. It is a long waited process. Now you do not think about the PP's and OCI for the weekend. Have a good weekend.

Gee24,
Hey Congratulations dude! You were ahead of me in the NATZ process by 1 month but fell back a bit in the OCI process. In the end it all evened out for both of us.

I got to say this....with your time lines, twists and turns in your cases, you and tsb are the 'honors' students with 4.0 gpa at the top of Embassy folks S#@$ list.

Anyways, chill out and Njoy the rest of your life. Perhaps we all will be back in near future asking questions (and most of us re-asking the same questions over and over again) about "Travelling with OCI" in this forum. Until the next time...

Cheers,
Speedy
 
Is there a cover letter to send US passports to Washington D.C ?

Maria,
There is no Cover letter to send with the PP's to embassy. You can write a letter with bold file number (USAWIXXXX..) and your address. Print the status page from the OCI status website and send along with PPs. Write OCI dispatch in the address.

Gee24, Speedy..
It took several phone calls and emails to get our( me and Gee24) PP. Finally we got them when we least expected. It looks we are all stuck at some point in those lines, may be it is GC, N400, PP or OCI. For some time i do not need to be in those lines again. I never expected many twists in the OCI. The process itself has gone through fine. Only getting the PP's back had so many twists and turns. Any way it is good learning experience to deal with the Embassy.

Gee24, Speedy, hitraj and others have fun and a great weekend.

God Bless Embassy people.

Marias, UPS is better. Embassy uses UPS to send the PP's back. It is would be better service.
 
My OCI app still not acknowledged, though my wife's visa has been granted (she will travel to India sooner than me)... still waiting the docs to come back for her though.
 
Thanks tsb for prompt reply.. I will use UPS to send PPs once my paper arrive at Embassy..!

USA Passport Missed
==============
Friends,

OCI missplaced my son USA passport and OCI booklet.
OCI cell received his USA passport on March 25th, and they have not answered untill last week.
Now OCI is suspecting that they might have sent that to someone by mistake.

If any of you are your friends received it please return back to OCI or post a comment here, then I will contact you and will inform to OCI.

Regards,

PLEASE SEND EMAILS TO OCI AND FOLLOW UP ON THE PHONE.
JUST IN CASE YOU DON'T HAVE EMAIL ADDRESS, HERE IT IS
ociwashington@indiagov.org
EVEN MY PASSPORTS (MINE AND MY WIFE's) WERE MIS-SENT INITIALLY.

ONCE I CONTACTED THEM ON THE PHONE, THEY WERE ABLE TO TRACE THE PASSPORTS IMMEDIATELY.

GOOD LUCK
Gee24
 
Could you please mention, when did you mail the documents, I mean the exact date and when did they receive it?

As far as your question is concerned, I don't think it should make any difference that you sent docs in same day by UPS, as they already acknowledged your both applications.

GEE24,
I am in touch with them over the phone and email, they are still in searching and we approaching my Son's travel date to India.
I decided to apply duplicate USA passport within a day or two. This is a real big mess, it's complete waste of time and money.

Thanks,
