OCI - Washington DC Tracker

Mailed the package this eve - usps next day air - with signature confirmation at delivery.
Now its time to say a prayer, sit back & hope for the best!

Adventure is still on. As per USPS they attempted delivery on Saturday.
Will be making another attempt to deliver.

Will update as soon as it gets delivered.


Sat delivery doesn't work if there's no one to receive the package. I don't think the embassy mail room would work on weekends.
 
has anyone gone in person to the embassy to get the surrender certificate? do they issue it (along with the cancelled ppts) the same day? could you please share the details. thanks!
 
Chola, GC2USC ... whats the status of your docs, mine are still pending delivery, thought it will be done today sometime.

Update: The package is delivered.

Hi Sam,

Your package and mine are both delivered the same day 5/24.

Hope it goes thru this time without any further complications.

Good Luck..
 
Thank you and same to you GC2USC ... there is no reason for them to reject and send back out packages this time ... if they do, it will be really unfortunate and unfair... 1 more time...
 
Its almost 3.30pm - usps (express service) tracking still shows ready for pickup (for delivery) in DC !!
So much for 12.00 pm Guaranteed delivery!!
 
Still 2pm isn't 12pm ... so ask for money back ... every penny that you can save to cover up the extra $175 per app that you have to send :)

Did you notice the OCI Tracking System is crashed :)

i fully support this protest.
Please send the photographs of the protest to
manmohan singh
external affairs minister
finance minister
clearly indicate that there will be a bigger protest in front of them during their next visits.

Charging so much for cancelling the passport is atrocious.......

apart from canceling your Indian ppt, will they also issue you a surrender certificate?

the verbiage on embassy website is confusing :(
 
Nope they specifically said that if we want the Surrender Certificate, than we will have to apply for the same separately, but with OCI/PIO application we can send the $175 along with Indian PPT and Notarized copy of NC and they will cancel the passports and send it back to us.

I don't care if I get SC or not, all I care to receive is, canceled Indian PPT and OCI, if I have that, I should be all set for life. I know they may always ask me to acquire the SC anytime in future, but hey I paid the money already and I will keep a copy of the same and will make sure not to pay it again.

and when your current US ppt (with the OCI "U" sticker) expires?

eta: i mean what if they ask for the SC at that point.
 
after 10yrs or so, I just got it last month ... I know "what if they ask for the SC at that point", I need to keep my canceled ppt along with the money order receipt that I paid to get it canceled in a safe place that I could remember ... we will see at that point ...
 
How did U get your Nat. Cert notarized?
