Guys how much is Purolator return label if we submit an OCI application in person ?? Also does $100 premium lounge includes that cost.
The going rate I think is $60 for return courier
The premium lounge service fee of $100 should include the return courier. Wait for other members to chime in

Finally got my OCI card today. Very thankful for this forum lol, I opted postal for surrender certificate and OCI and my applications weren't returned and accepted the first time for both. I honestly feel postal application has the best ROI in terms of money as well mental peace, for a single application atleast.

I am also one of those cases with Blank First Name on my Canadian passport, so glad that OCI worked out all well. Time to remove BLS website from my bookmarks now :D Good riddance!

Mine was dispatched from Delhi on 9th April and received at BLS on 21st, got updated on the OCI website on 24th and by the time BLS had already shipped it out. So Almost 2 weeks I guess

Guys, do you know what BLS status "Underprocess" means, is it processing at BLS or at the consulate? The status changed today after lots of escalation on my OCI application.

are you saying you sent for Surrender and OCI in the same postal application? I thought we are not allowed to apply for that together anymore. Can you please confirm?
