OCI - Washington DC Tracker

I have been looking to see any updates

Looks like the Houston works pretty fast. Does anyone think the wait time/ processing time comedown in a few months ?



Recd Date : 28th March
Ack Date : 19th April
 
Acknowledgement to Granted time frame

Is my estimate of about 10-15 days for acknowledgement to Grant status correct? I am hoping my status will change in a day or two.
 
Details...

It took around 40 days for mine to change from acknowledged to granted (but each case could be different).

Ack: 3/8
Grt: 4/18
 
Great News

Hi Superho,

Have you cancelled the Indian Passport already? If not , are you sending US & IND passports together with prepaid envelope? And do we need to write any request letter to cancel indian passport?
See as I said in earlier notes, you should be done in couple more weeks from 04/18. Any how, Thanks for updates.

Hi 2bc,
What about your case status?

My passport was cancelled a while back. I had to go to India after I became a US citizen and it was done when I applied for a visitor's visa.

Why would I need a prepaid envelope? The shipping charge of $15 was paid with the OCI application fee...
 
Thank You

My OCI Status

Hello all

Here is my current OCI application status. This information is from the OCI tracker (very useful tool) http://ociindia.nic.in/ociindia/OnlineOCIenquiry.jsp
I relied on this status check tool as I did not receive an acknowledgement letter, or for that matter any written communication from the embassy.

1) Mailed application to Indian Embassy, Washington DC in late February 2007
2) Date of Acknowledgement : March 1, 2007.
3) Registration Status Granted On 13-APR-2007
4) Photo/Signature Scanned On 04-APR-2007
5) Documents Printing Status PRINTED
6) Documents Printed On 14-APR-2007
7) Documents Despatched From Delhi On 14-APR-2007
8) Documents Received at WASHINGTON On 30-APR-2007

Next, I will mail my documents to the embassy with a self addresses envelope.

Good luck to all applicants. IMHO, if you have been through the hassles of the US INS application processes, the OCI seems to be better managed.

Thanks to all participants in this forum. I found your postings very helpful as I tracked the status of my OCI application.

best regards.
