I applied for OCI through walk-in few days back .
Today when I checked my status on bls it shows ‘Incorrect / incomplete data’ . When I checked at centre the lady said everything is correct and all documents are complete.

has anyone experienced this? How to fix this please? I don’t want my application to be refused as its a struggle to reapply and go through entire process again.

Are you using proper Application Reference No with DOB/Passport No?

Yes I am. It is showing my other details but under status , it is showing incomplete / incorrect data
It mostly does not happen for in-person submission. Wait for 2-3 days, it should move to under process. If it doesn't, contact BLS to know the issue.

I asked on another group and they said you might be missing some document and you have to fix it but why they didn’t tell me when I asked them there.

I feel so frustrated as I didn’t check status for some days assuming it takes long for them to change status and now this . I don’t know for how long this status was there.

If I have to fix this , do I have to take appointment again and go there ? Will my application get refused as it’s missing something? What’s the point of walk in if they still making such mistakes

So rejection is at BLS level. So you can go to BLS and rectify the issue.
Thanks for your replies. It helps.

do you know if I can just walk in or do I have to take appointment as I don’t see any appointment slots for next two months. What do I tell them?

It shows record not found. There is something wrong with my application.
We have a similar experience, we'd need to wait for a few more days, maybe a week, as they have a backlog for OCI's.

Any January applicant from the Vancouver started getting OCI processed status? We plan to travel to India on March 16. Based on the trend, just worried if I will get the OCI by the time.

Applied - Jan 8, ACK - Jan 12
