OCI - Washington DC Tracker

09citizen,
What I meant was that I check the status once in week e.g. Fri or Sat. Till last week his appl. wasnt acknowledged. If you see the dates all steps on his appl. was taken over last two days only.

Got it, thanks. It looks like everything was happening, but they were just too lazy to update the status...:D

09citizen,

My status just changed to "Under Process" and date of ACK is shown as 18 Sep.

Congratulations, and thanks for the update.

I think my application is "lost" somewhere. As I had already sent a money order inquiry request last friday, the MO will most probably get cancelled this week if it is not cashed yet.

Which Indian embassy is that? DC/SFO?

Embassy is always located in the capital. Consulate is located at non-capital place.

Washington DC is capital of USA so Indian Embassy is located at Washington DC. Consulates can be located at many cities in USA so Indian Consulate is located at SFO.

Hope this helps. :)
 
OCI Status: Granted :)

I believe there are no enough staff workers at the Indian embassy to handle communication methods (email, phone, and mail) unlike USCIS.
 
It's surprising that they have only 2 people doing all the processing -- no wondering the time line is abysmal.

Congrats USGC485... Finally through the link posted by some good samaritan i was able to get to my file with the ref. no i guessed. No need to talk to those people in the embassy now to get my ref. no. My application has been scanned on a SATURDAY!! ..

Anyway got the visa . TRAVISA is really awesome and i wish OCI processing will go to them too.

Just when I had given up all the hopes on my application, the status changed today to under process, with 10/2 acknowledgement date. This is very wierd. Now I have to call USPS and make sure the money order is not cancelled!!

Is Indian Embassy closed today (Friday)? oh, I didn't realize that Embassy remains closed on October 2 on account of Mahatma Gandhi's Birthday

Fedex status said Customer not Available or Business Closed so Delivery will be re-attempted the next business day.

I was sending my US passport and Indian passport for U visa stamp and cancellation stamp since my status was granted.

Oh that is a relief. Hope the USPS doesnt cancel ur MO.. Good luck.
My status is also changed to scanned. Hope to receive something soon.
 
The Embassy OCI processing is really the pits ... I also got caught in the PIO fees increase for OCI for my kids.

Just talked to someone at the embassy who mentioned that they're running so behind that they'll take 12 weeks to acknowledge application --> he said to mail the fee increase and write the application # so that they can connect the original application with the fees.

My app was delivered on Sept 17 and no updates till now. Haven't seen a more messier situation then this!!
