Which original document did you sent with OCI ?OCI - Minor (Citizen By Birth)
Mode: Walk-in Application
05-Jul-21: Submitted at BLS Toronto
06-Jul-21: BLS Tracking - underprocess
11-Jul-21: Processing at Consulate General
12-Jul-21: Under process at ociservices.gov.in
14-Jul-21: BLS Tracking - Dispatched via Courier
What does this mean? does this mean original documents were dispatched? The application still shows Under process at ociservices.gov.in
UPDATE: Received the Package today. looks like it in fact was just the original documents.
My expired Indian Passport, which I surrendered when I got my OCI. They wanted that when applying OCI for our daughterWhich original document did you sent with OCI ?
Well according to the document checklist, looks like original Indian passport is a MUST for OCI applications. No other original document (other than the Indian passport) is required. This is according to the checklist for Toronto, not sure if you are located in other jurisdictions.They need expired passport even after surrender certificate and that too original. Strange. But anyways , thanks for the information.
For my OCI application , I have not sent any originals.
Yes , my application is under process.Well according to the document checklist, looks like original Indian passport is a MUST for OCI applications.

Did you get an update on your application?
OK, good.Yes , my application is under process.
BLS status : Processing at CGI
OCI website : under process
Going good so far without any originals.
Sorry for the confusion , I did sent my original passport but I completely forgot about it.OK, good.
Please keep us posted. All the best!
Haha LOL. It makes more sense now. BLS is very quick to send back applications that are incomplete. Someone received the application back because the background color of the photo wasn't light enough - They are extremely particular about documentation. I was wondering how on Earth BLS forwarded your documentation to the consulate without the original Indian passport.Sorry for the confusion , I did sent my original passport but I completely forgot about it.
When were you able to track your oci application on oci India enquire website?Finally some positive update on my OCI application for a minor (postal application)
