Applied for entry visa for myself and wife at BLS-Ottawa today. They told OCI and entry visa can not be submitted in parallel so i submitted only entry visa.
If you reach before 6 am you will probably be with in first 10-15 on weekdays.
Anyone with entry visa timeline for BLS Ottawa please post.
Odd that they did not take your OCI application. Did you have surrender certificate, or were you applying for SC along with entry visa? There is nothing else that stops them from processing OCI in parallel.

We applied on 26th and went to BLS around 5:00 am and were 10th in queue , It was smooth and we were in done in 20 minutes , make sure you take all your documents with you, but now I have heard it is crazy there as people have started lining up quiet early,

Any timelines that I can refer to for Postal applications for Entry Visas? I do have a travel plan on Dec 15 and applied to OCI on Oct 12 and am yet to receive ACK on the OCI website. Should I go for the Entry visa? Are Postal Applications moving the same as the Walk-ins?

My travel date is Dec 7th.. my Oci application date is also Oct 12 and I received ack yesterday and you will probably receive ack today but I still applied for entry visa. I don’t think there is any harm in that but you still have a week more than me

Postal, BLS takes time to work on it. If you want to see faster processing go for walkin

@pgajiwala Hi there. Do you have any idea when can we expect our status change?
I thought you had your application delivered on 30th Just like me. You should have received it yesterday itself. What time was it delivered on Monday. Mine was at 9 AM. I would say wait for today hopefully they will give you update today.
