OCI process

[eas2lv]

@eas2lv My status changed today around 12:00Pm EST.

OCI Site Status: Processed on 19th Ocotber

Cool! Ack to process in 21 days is still holding strong.

This is definitely concerning. If this "achieving parity" stunt goes into a downward spiral, we are all in for a shock. Hope this stops here. The FM is expected to give a presser at 3:30 ET -- she may not is expected to address this though.

Any updates for Vancouver? Are they still taking 35 days after the date of ack?

@RuchiWalia My ack date is also Oct 5 and my flight date is Nov 1. Most probably OCI will be delivered on Oct 26 at BLS. Do you know if it is allowed to collect OCI directly from BLS instead of waiting for courier? If that is possible then we may be able to make it.

We have the same date of acknowledgement.
When I went to BLS Surrey they did not want to choose pickup from the BLS option. As one has to wait in line from 3-4 to pick it up. It only adds one extra day with Purolator. Once your OCI is mailed just contact purolator.

Vancouver

Its 35 days from acknowledgement based on a previous timeline shared. So very close to your travel date.

Yes even for BLS Edmonton they said option for pick up is not available so have to opt for purolator only..

How long does it take for status to be changed from processing at consulate general (bls) to ack at oci website?

My husband applied for an OCI renewal (so he can add my name) to his OCI booklet in Vancouver with an ack date of Oct 5th. Anyone know if miscellaneous/renewal services are going faster than fresh applications/than the 35 days or its all the same?

Ideally they should get update by next week and that will give some of us some hope..

At the going rate of about 30 days from Ack means expect something in the first week of November.
