URGENT !!

I have paid for the courier service so that I can get back my OCI via courier once get approved. But right now on the BLS tracker it shows "passport ready for collection after OCI stamping". So, instead of ready for dispatch why it is showing ready for collection??

I tried calling Ottawa BLS but unable to connect with those people, don't know what to do. Anyone have any idea?

Some cases somewhere the courier info is getting lost and they are getting marked for collection instead of dispatch. BLS can only rectify it and call is the only way to do it.

Its the correct no. Its try and try till you succeed, no best time. If you in Ottawa, going in-person is better. 3-4.30 pm is the collection time, if you just want to collect and get over with it.

Can my husband go instead of me today with the receipt? or he needs any kind of letter from me?
Also, do they refund those courier charges ?

Refund is tough. Need to fight hard for it.
Take a letter of authorization, ID and receipt.
