Right now in my desperate situation I am okay they keep my courier fee, just allow me to pickup in person as soon they get OCI card.

If we ask for courier fee refund or flexibility to not to pay and pickup in person only, they may remove this flexibility and we will be in bigger trouble.

This is an argument which should be saved for future when we have alternative like eVisa.
That can be a big source of confusion. You go there expecting to collect and they don't have it, because they posted it to your mailing address.
Honestly i don't want that to happen because there is no one to recieve it thats why I opted for pickup. Hope i can go there to collect it directly. But they haven't updated with "ready for collection" at BLS

That's weird. Sep 25 walk-in got acknowledgment today.
I am very worried right now. It should have come today. This whole situation is so frustrating . I have a wedding of my real sister in november and all this situation now makes it more difficult.

Thank you so much !! I'll also give a try if they haven't dispatched it
I am in the same situation my flight is on 25th October hoping to get it by 20th October let me know if you are able to pick it up directly without waiting for courier. I have also paid for the courier service.

Processed on 19th is your best case scenario and it has been taking a few days for delivery to BLS after that. Plan to somehow pickup in person at that point. Its tight but could work. Good luck.
