OCI - Washington DC Tracker

I went home with a lot of anticipation yesterday. I was expecting a "delivery attempt" note from ups/fedex on my door. There wasn't one. Now i am worried.
Is there any other way to findout if they attempted to deliver in the absence of a tracking number?

Did you receive the OCI? I was out of town and when I came back today, I see a UPS Info Notice and it seems the packet was delivered to my rental office. I think I should get it tomorrow.

Sam,
It happened to me and others in my group who received OCI recently. It shifted to 3 days from the original date and finally the 3rd was taken as final date. So Chilll

I have question for you----Did you receive Surrender Certificate along with Indian passport with cancelled stamp? I would like to reach the consulate people to deliver the SC as it would be safer and easier to keep and carry the certificate rather than cancelled passports, do you have their contact info? Please share.

Thanks

VM,
No, I didn't receive SC with my canceled passport, it was specifically written on the website that if we apply the Indian passport cancellation along with our OCI, they would not issue a SC. I didn't bother about it either and you know what, nothing is safe with Indian Immigration Officers :).

Example, one time the immigration officer at Delhi airport told me that my face do not match with the photo that on my Indian passport, off course it may not exactly match cos passport was about 7 yrs old, but that guy had guts to tell me that and than I went crazy on him (after a travel of almost 22 hrs, if you hear this you would go crazy too). I slammed him with my 3 photo ids and he had to let me go without any other BS questions.

I also have not read anywhere that they will not send the SC if we apply for SC and OCI together. Then why they charge $195?

VM and Emmo, you know how its been with the Indian Embassy websites in last few months. They change the contents on the website so much that you can't really be sure what is there benchmark and the policies when you are in the process of getting something from them.

I wish I could find and point you to that paragraph :)

VM, yes, I did have guts to fight him over, since I was Indian citizen at that point and had many ids to prove it ;-) --- but the only way to get out of there without any questions, is "Do not greet them or say thank you after he is done, do not look into their eyes, look anywhere else but the guy who is examining your documents"
