Approximately 40 - 45 days from the day it was submitted.

For future OCI applicants, original COPR should not be sent by Purolator. You may carry your original COPR along with the copy of COPR if going for in-person application and even then just give the copy of COPR. Only show the original if they ask for it.

Looks like its fairly accurate: Here is my UPDATE: Passport Surrender Mode: Walk-in & requested it to be picked-up (no purolator) 13-Aug (Fri): Submitted at BLS Brampton 13-Aug (Fri): checked after submission - BLS Tracking - Under process 16-Aug (Mon): In Transit from BLS Centre to Consulate...

You may have mistaken my post with someone else's. I never sent my child's birth certificate to consulate.

Any update on your child's application? Mine changed to "Your application has been acknowledged by competent authorities. It is under consideration." after 30 days from the date of application.

Give some time, its only 1 week. I got my status update after 2 weeks. My surrender is ready for collection since Sep 4. I am waiting for OCI to process so I can pick both up in same visit.

In my opinion, look for the USA jurisdiction list of documents or checklist and see if you can apply or not. Also another forum discussion from 2016 says "Yes". https://www.immihelp.com/forum/india-passport-visa-oci/151652-canadian-citizen-applying-for-oci-from-us

If you have a good camera that can take portrait photo, take the picture against off white background and use the webpage: https://www.idphoto4you.com/ I did the same.

NY GCI is at least responsive and said it will take a min 30 days. I will continue to check and will update on my status. But I am positive you will get response earlier than mine as you applied at least 2 weeks before I did. Fingers crossed.

Mine still shows: "Your application is yet to be acknowledged by competent authorities."

I went inside the office at around 8:20am and was out by 8:45am.
