    OCI process

    On MOIA site in Delhi it should have "Date of Acknowledgements". In my case, it gets printed in 2 weeks from that date and despatched 1 week after printed status. It arrives in your consulate in one more week.

    OCI process

    That is exactly my thoughts and my concern. Cancellation cannot be done by BLS, hence it likely sent to consulate for cancellation, which means yet another week before I see my documents back ! I travel in another week. I wish they tell me exact process so I work around this. It is long...

Once that happens, I am thinking that you may be able to approach OCI officer at the Consulate and see if they are able to expedite the pick up process. Few...
