Question fellas; How does one know when the Photo/Signature has been scanned? Thanks

You may need to check online status after two weeks from the date of Acknowledgement. Online status tells about your photo/signature scanned similar to:
Photo/Signature Scanned On XX-XXX-XXXX
Good Luck :)

Hmmm... 3 weeks from Ack to Scan! Things seem to have slowed down again. I hope the rest of the milestones come quickly.
 
AKgarg ji mine things always take longer but I know things will happen in the end that's all matters.

Your note made me laugh, did someone really think you are lawyer? I know you are just a member not like us just with special power :) and that's why some volunteer work...

Manju, I am glad you got a laugh out of this, but that tag line 'automagically' appears in all my postings since I volunteered to be a moderator on this forum - so I cannot take any credit (or blame) for it! ;)

OCI time frame

I really do not understand why they take this much time to ack. Also this is a simple process they can handle the request fast. Always Government people wants to sit on the application. Thank God there is no bribes here to get OCI
 
It's not that bad, you will get it in this year.

My application was acknowledged late when I called them they did tell that it takes longer sometimes as they may have some query with govt or something like that so my guess is that the 1st step takes time for making sure that all documents are there & all other queries after that it's mechanical process which takes time just to get it done.

Once OCI docs are recieved at washington DC, are we supposed to send another self addressed envelope inspite of already sending one while applying the original OCI application ?

No, if you sent the envelope with the application, there is no need so send another one. I am assuming you also sent the $20 return mailing charges.
