Thanks for this update - now I can understand the timeline from BLS Mississauga. I submitted 3 application (same as yours) in person on 28th June so I hope to get all OCIs in August based on your timeline.
Quick question - what does Date of Acknowledgement stand for?
How long is the OCI application is valid if I haven't provided the documents?
Long lineups for walk-ins and no appointment available for a month. Don't want to mail documents. How long do I have to submit my documents in person?

Broooo what are you saying? Tonnes of appointments available at many BLS locations - July, August and September! Go on the website now and get an appointment for OCI instantly choosing whichever day you want.

Oh I see! Doesn't matter if you create your application today and go to BLS in August! As long as everything on your application is correct, there is no expiry date.

I am seeking assistance regarding the conversion of child's e-visa to a regular visa, with the goal of obtaining an OCI card. The child, born in Canada, entered India on an e-visa and has been staying in India. The parents are Indian citizens and not OCI holders.
We need guidance on converting the e-visa to a regular visa, including the required documents, application procedure, processing time, ideal time to apply (30-35 days before the 180-day mark), and any chances/reasons for rejection, as well as the process for applying for an OCI card, including eligibility criteria, required documents, application procedure, processing time, and whether we need to visit the FRRO office.
Thank you for your assistance. I look forward to your prompt response.
