Me and my spouse applied for OCI on Oct 2nd, 2014, acknowledged Oct 17. We have tickets booked to India in December. From what I read on this forum, it does not look like we will have our OCIs on time to travel. Any suggestions on other options so we could travel to india in dec? Our passports have been surrendered already; it is just the OCI that we are in trouble with.

Hello ... I have applied for my OCI on last week of September 2014 with Toronto BLS, acknowledged on Oct 10th. Still have not received my originals back. It has been more than 7 weeks and the e-mails were not replied. The call center says it is better to contact the Embassy directly and one other time they say you will receive the documents by the end of the week..

Is there anyone applied in this time frame? Also while collecting originals they did not take my Canadian passport, thought they would check that as well. Seem strange.

Here I have timeline for 3 applications applied in the last week of Sept 2014 at BLS Brampton.

Thanks Delhite

Where do you get to check this status?
When I check the BLS it says "Processing at Consulate General"

Do they give a seperate file # to track? Please do let me know.

Thank you for updating.

Enter your Canadian passport # and File # which usually starts with CANT****
The File # is the one which you get when apply online. Check your OCI Registration Form. The File # should be just below the bar code and on left side of border.

I checked with my file # CANT**** with link you gave. It is the same link I used for online registration.

It says " Record not found". I have applied on Sep 27th 2014. Very strange for the last 60 days it never got updated. I am starting to think BLS never sent my document to the consulate office.

did any one ever encountered this?
