OCI process

[mili_0923]

I really hope to get it by end. Tickets are becoming too expensive.
thank you so much for always responding to me. I will definetly let you know my timeline so people who applied to ottawa can relate.
this journey of immigration has been the longest wait!

BLS status updated Nov 12-2021
FINALLY!
I can now see my OCI number as well.
Seems like it has been dispatched from NEW DELHI.
Now that I know Ottawa is running 2 weeks later than Toronto - I should have my OCI booklet next week.. right?

Based on recent timelines, you should be receiving your OCI booklet in a week or two.

Fingers crossed. How long did yours came when it showed processed?

How long does it take for the OCI application status to show up at this website after submitting it to BLS - https://ociservices.gov.in/

It has been 2 weeks since we applied, but still it shows 'no such records found' status. Not sure, how long it will take just to show up on status website.

Just received my OCI booklet now. . Wow.

 

[masterofpupp]

has anyone applied for citizenship surrender and OCI at the same time? Do we put both applications in one package? and do make one bank draft or two separate ones?

1) Only 1 bank draft of 345$
2) Two different packages. BLS takes surrender first, then will attach the surrender receipt to OCI application and accept both at the same time.
3) All other fees you can pay using debit card at BLS.
4) This is for walk-in process.

Oh kay, thanks. But if I'm walking in, can I just pay with a debit card?

You still need $345 draft, all other fees debit card is fine.

My Date of acknowledgement is 15th October. Still under process

Hey Sharad - any update on your application on OCI tracker?

 

[maplecan20]

How is everyone able to submit through walk in? Toronto location is accepting appointments mostly and there is very low chance for OCI applicants to submit document via walk in based on what people told over there. Is Brampton location better for walk-in?

 

[maplecan20]

One more question: For passport surrender, do we need to Self arrest print outs too OR only for OCI?
