OCI Application Timeline-Sent by Post to Brampton: Delivered to BLS: April 11 BLS Status-Processing at Consulate: Apr 15 OCI Status-Under Process: May 5

ok makes sense. good luck. I sent my postal application on April 11 and BLS status changes to processing at consulate on April 15. No records found as of May 03 on OCI website.

There is plenty of time, right? or am i missing a longer trend here?

I was not aware of it- but calling them and giving your profile and email id will be fast. I did my payment in 10 mins.

Did you call them and then they sent you a link on your email id for payment? or are you trying to do it independently?

Ok got it. Ideally, there is no need to send the originals for postal application. I hope you get them back at the earliest.

What does your BLS tracker say on the status of your application?

This is so frustrating. Sorry to hear that. My Sampark didnt reply anything yet- but BLS turned "In Transit from Consulate General to BLS Centre" today evening. I hope your status changes soon.

@indigonation5 - have you heard back anything on Surrender Certificate front? I put a query on Sampark on Friday like @Hot2Cold but no movements at all.

1) Correct- its Surrender Certificate first and then OCI after you receive SC. 2) We can't use Canada Post or Fedex. BLS has sole courier arrangement with Purolator. So when you are done with your application, call BLS on their phone and tell them you want to arrange for pick-up and delivery of...

Sent my application by post to BLS on Feb 19th and it was acknowledged by consulate on Feb 25.

Hi- do you mind sharing whats the next status msg after SC has been printed? is it something like it was shipped or dispatched? Thanks

For the Indian Origin Proof-i am assuming you uploaded the "Previous Indian Passport to Self" already? Given your SC is still pending I am assuming you uploaded a copy of Indian Passport which does not have "cancelled" written in it? Should we wait for that? or is it ok to upload the current...

When we upload our documents on OCI website, do we have to self-attest them? Like my current passport scan copy, indian origin proof, etc...

I mean the sheer ridiculousness of light background not being white specification. BLS in its checklist says it should be white background and i spent $30 on getting them a week ago. I dont know if it really matters. Other OCI holders/applicant can please shed light?

Thanks for this. I never booked my BLS in person appointment when i sent surrender application and now appointments are only available in May. So i guess courier will be a better option now. Any idea how long it takes for surrender certi to arrive after your status changes to "Surrender...

You cannot do both at the same time. First you will have to apply for surrender and then OCI. Please follow this thread as all the people here are in the same boat as you- https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/threads/oci-process.254662/page-402
