Why OCI enquiry just shows my name ..... why not date of Acknowledgment ?

[atu14]

Can the OCI be ready in about 2 weeks sent via NY Travisa Outsourcing??

It shows only my name and ACK number but nothing else.
Who can I ask regarding my OCI because I do not want to send Passport to Travisa if it is not ready. I cannot trust the liars at Travisa who can ask for passports for their safeside.

Hello,

I just got an email notification from Travisa to send in US passport for matching up of OCI, but still as of now the Indian website has no update on the status, it only shows the name and thats it rest of the screen is plain white.

O.C.I processing time has decreased by three folds.

So, just check your TRAVISA status page, and before you know it ( before the second month starts or second month ends from the acknowledge date ) you guys will have your O.C.I cards and 'U' Visa in your hands.

People who went before TRAVISA are still waiting for their status to change from "UnderProcess" to "Granted"

I am waiting patiently in line ever since February, 2011, and I know my O.C.I status is NOT going to change to "Granted" status until August, 2011.

So, you guys need to just chill out, and drink some cold water, with ice in it.

Please DO NOT buy, or reserve any airline tickets until you guys have the O.C.I booklet , or O.C.I cards and 'U' Visa in your hands.

Please, also, DO NOT purchase any holiday packages, or tour packages until you have the O.C.I cards and 'U' Visa in your hands.

Conclusion:

Don't depend on Indian OCI website for current status. Even though status page is broken, they seem to be processing applications within a week. After waiting for a week after "Pending approval" date shown on Travisa site, send email to shettybn@nic.in with REG # , FILE (ACK ) #, PASSPORT # to request application status. After application is sent from Delhi, it may take 1-3 weeks to receive OCI booklet at the consulate.

Just now received email from Travisa (Washington,DC) stating that our OCI card's have been received from Delhi, and to send in our US passports. Our acknowledgement date is 7/12/2011.

I still cannot access the OCI Enquiry Form, so not sure where that processing stands. I'll submit the US passports to Travisa, and will update when it gets back.

UPDATE : Today (8/1/2011) received our US Passports & OCI cards back.
Pasted below the entire timeline .

Note : Even though the Travisa online status indicates pkt to be shipped out on 7/26/2011 , UPS picked it up only on 7/28/2011 for a 8/1/2011 delivery ( 2nd day Air End of Day).
So the applicants should watch for the scans on the UPS/Fedex based on ur prepaid tracking number, and not rely on the Travisa update on this aspect. You can avoid some anxiety !

Thanks

Hey guys,

N.I.C was working on improving the O.C.I Enquiry form. In the new updates to the overall site, they have now incorporated the actual photo of the applicant when status of the application is viewed.

I just saw my status, and it still under process, but now I can also see the photo I submitted to the Consulate General of India - Houston on the Online O.C.I Enquiry form.

Anyways, I just thought people should know about this new update that they were working on.

Here is the website link if anyone is just excited to see their photo while viewing their O.C.I status on Online O.C.I Enquiry Form:

https://passport.gov.in/oci/OnlineOCIenquiry.jsp


Enjoy!!!

Photo shown but status is still the same

Oh well.
I guess they are working on the bugs as we speak.
so much for the improvement part.
Keep your head high, because you will have your O.C.I cards / booklet and 'U' Visa in your hand before you know it.

At least, you are not like some of us who are patiently waiting in line since January, 2011. If you are like me, then do forgive as I forgot to check your time line you must have posted somewhere on this long forum.

anyways good luck.
