OCI process

[international student_13]

Bls status is showing in transit consulate to bls, do you get any update?

I got mine on Friday. The status is still dispatched on the site. You would receive it too.

Update: OCI is issued

BLS Updates >

6-JUN-2026 : underprocess
8-JUN-2026 : Processing at Consulate Consulate


OCI Portal Updates >

6-JUN-2026 : UNDER-PROCESS [The application is not acknowledged at the Mission/ FRRO yet]
22-JUN-2026 : UNDER-PROCESS, Acknowledged
20-JUL-2026 : GRANTED [BUT GRANTED DATE SHOWS 21-JULY-2026]

I can also see partially masked OCI number.

Along with this, I see 3 more updates on OCI portal which tells me I will NOT receive physical OCI card:

OCI card dispatched from printing cell on 21/JUL/2026
OCI card received at Mission/FRRO on 21/JUL/2026
OCI card delivered to applicant on 21/JUL/2026

I have already clicked on "generate e-oci" and waiting for my pdf.

I don't expect BLS status to update. But if I magically get physical OCI card, I'll let you guys know.

This likely confirms per this forum that OCI cards issued post July 8 will be solely e-oci cards and physical booklets will no longer be issued.

BLS better refund my courier money LOL. By the way, there was a link to accept fti-ttp terms and conditions on oci portal which said my oci biometric will be re-used for e-gates fti-ttp registration. Looks like e-oci to fti-ttp e-gates transition will be seamless and doesn’t require any separate registration.
