OCI process
- Thread starter blueshirt

Hi my both applications shows pending status again..I don't know why..it was under process.
Here’s what I found on search:
A change in your OCI application status from “under process” back to “pending” can occur for several reasons:
• Document Deficiency or Additional Information Needed: If the authorities identify missing documents, incorrect information, or need further clarification, your application may revert to “pending” until you provide the required details. The Indian Mission or FRRO typically contacts applicants by email if there is any deficiency, requesting the necessary documents or corrections.
• Administrative Review or System Update: Sometimes, status changes can reflect internal processing or administrative reviews. It may not always indicate a problem, but rather a step where your application is awaiting further action or review.
• Technical or System Errors: Occasionally, status updates on the online portal may fluctuate due to technical issues or delays in syncing information between different systems.
If your status has changed unexpectedly, check your email (including spam/junk folders) for any communication from the Indian Mission or the processing center. If you haven’t received any instructions, it is advisable to contact the relevant Mission or application center to clarify the reason and ensure no action is required from your side
Try to contact their customer service maybe? Also keep an eye on your inbox / junk spam folder as well in case they request more documentation.

It appears to be server issue. Mine was granted yesterday and today it changed to pending. People on other groups are also having similar discussions that status changed to pending.
Interesting! Same for my applications. It was granted and in printing yesterday.
Just checked now and it’s pending. Safe to say that it’s a system issue on their end.
My status changed to "PENDING" today and date updated to 14 Jun 2025. Is this normal?
Just realized my old application that was completed back in 2023, I can see the status has changed to 'PENDING'
Could be some updates to the website
Mine too! Application submitted at BLS Calgary - 4th July
Status as of July 9 was UNDER PROCESS with Application Date as 8th July
Today Status is shown as PENDING with Application Date as 3rd July which is my actual online submission date of the application.
