I submitted OCI card application on 24th oct through postal, they recieved on 30th october but there is no update after that. They dont reply to mail or calls. Do you think I can get my oci card before 15th december i have flight on 16
oci tracking: no record found
Jurisdiction? If Toronto, count 8 weeks from the point it reaches the consulate. Normally it would have reached the consulate in about 10 days after mailing in or notified of deficiencies if any. No news since Oct 30th sounds odd. What exactly is the status on BLS site -- does it show an "Application Date"?
Dec 15th could be just okay if it reaches the consulate in a day or two.

About 5 to 7 days for walk-in applications, add 10 days for postal.
Emergency visa is available under certain situations. At the minimum you could have got an emergency appointment at BLS for in-person application as postal is currently very slow. I do not know of any way to speed up an already submitted postal application.

@krishere1982 Well what happened in front of Vancouver Consulate was not only unnecessary, but useless as well. All it did is caused more trouble to people who want to travel to their own country.

Secondly, do i need to book an appointment to apply for Entry Visa? No appointments available before mid December. I’ll wait until this Sunday only and will go for the Entry Visa if i don’t get the OCI

Hi everyone, my daughter's OCI application status changed today. However, the dates on the column Dispatched from MEA has not been updated yet. Our scheduled flight is on Nov 24. Any experience to share if we would get the OCI by then or not? Thanks in advance.

What is the Acknowledgement date? Very likely it will change tomorrow and if so you could get OCI in hand by Friday.
