My OCI Status shows (Counter Delivery to BLS Centre after OCI stamping) since last 3 days, I opted for pickup instead of courier. any idea if I can go to BLS and pick it up or need to wait? how long it takes after this status ?

You have to wait till it changes to "Ready for Collection". Where did you apply?

Takes around 7-10 days to be available. Some people get it soon too.
How many days is it taking for the application to show up in BLS tracking after submission?

I am getting nervous because I mailed my application. It has been 2 days since the application was delivered to BLS.

Where do you see this update, on OCI portal or BLS website?

My son's application says it is ready for collection at BLS, but I did paid courier service. Is it something normal or I need to contact BLS:

The status on BLS website says Under Process 2 times ? What does it mean the application has been sent to Consulate or still with BLS ? I thought status on BLS said In Process at Consulate.

I am worried has the application been sent back or something ?
