[somak2001]

Is there any time when I can expect? I just checked but it still show no records found.

Check it after 3pm EST.

Hi @abbas.pasha , @forw.jane , @eas2lv,

OCI Acknowledgment date is 2023-Oct-11. Vancouver consulate. Do you think there is a chance of getting the OCI by Nov 30?

I am trying to figure out when I should book for trip to India.

Please advice.

Thank you.

Looks very likely by current trends -- about 35 days post ack in Vancouver. Add a week for delivery to BLS and dispatch/pickup after that. Technically the mandatory wait after ack is only 20 days, but when the consulate acts depends on their backlog and resources. If you have not booked tickets yet, give it some cushion and book a bit later than that.

Hi, in the OCI tracker it shows that document received at Vancouver on 4th Oct and no update since then. Usually how long will it take to dispatch OCI after receiving at the Vancouver office.

Around 6 weeks by current trends after it gets acknowledged by the consulate, not BLS office.
Or did you mean application is processed and OCI was delivered to BLS office on Oct 04?

If you mean that the OCI has been received at the Vancouver office post processing, then you should be able to recieve it in a week or so. That is if you selected postal service not pickup.

Our date was 5th Oct - We just recieved the OCI cards today.

Excellent news. Toronto is keeping up its reputation as the fastest right now

Thanks, the consulate has been efficient, unlike the experience at BLS, which wasn't too pleasant

True, but with BLS verifying all original documents these days, the consulate has little work to do to process most applications. Earlier document verification used to be done by the consulate. Security check is done by Delhi. Sure, they are doing their job, thankfully.

Hi.. is there any timeline for pickup service at vancouver office after OCI is delivered at BLS office?

 

[anksyahoo]

Do we receive any ACK for postal applications?

I submitted in person at BLS Ottawa and BLS shows-

Application Status

Processing at High Commission Processing at High Commission

Whereas tracking on OCI website says UNDER PROCESS.

Is this what we all expect or am I missing something?

I m kind of in the same boat. Do they notify once the oci has been shipped to the home address and how many days does it take for delivery? Thanks
