OCI process

[K310]

The answer would be No. Neither of you has applied before and are applying at the same time.

Thanks a lot for clarification

How long does it take for OCI Application to show up in OCI website for status tracking in Toronto? and overall time to get OCI delivered?

One of my passports is showing as ready for despatch in bls status
is there a way to find the tracking number?

UPDATE:
19 April - OCI Web Status: Documents Printing Status - PROCESSED

did it go from under process to this status directly or was there another step in between

So i guess we have to call them and take the appointment with CGI right? I dint know that we can apply via CGI for entry visa. Any reason to apply via CGI? Bcas with BLS itself we are getting entry visa within 7 days based on this forum. correct me if i am wrong

No you cant apply through CGI but they will resolve ur file.

Can you please provide more details about this grievance hour? I looked everywhere but could not find any relevant information.
Thanks

Well I always check early morning and night. So yesterday morning, it was Under process, and night when I checked it was Processed.

i thought it says we have to renew at the age of 20 and at the age of 50? could someone chime in?

The 2nd para does not talk about "renew" at all. It talks about "update/upload".
Renew is for last section, and if you meet the 3 conditions under that - one of them being completing 20.

.

Yes. Make an appointment under any category. They will accept anyway.

Oh good to know that. Thanks

It's better you call them, in my case I received OCI on April 5th but BLS still shows Passport ready For Dispatch
