Hi all, does anyone know when does the OCI portal usually update?

It's been 11 weeks and I haven't had any update. Desperately looking for answers. Kindly suggest what to do. Thanks!
If you submitted in Vancouver, I think you will have to wait for 1 more week and hopefully get the update?
I had seen someone with July 27 acknowledgement date see the status of printing the document.

I see, where did you see that, if I may ask?
My acknowledgement (on OCI site) is August 3. I called BLS but they were of no help and asked me to email Vancouver MEA. What should I do? Should I still email MEA to get an update or wait it out? Getting super anxious as I've travel plans in November

You can go ahead an email MEA. But I am hopeful that you see status change soon. My ack date is Aug 13th. I read above in this same forum someone said they are from Calgary and their ack date was July 27th and the status was document printing.
Can someone from Vancouver please post if they recently received the OCI in hand?

Has anyone experienced a situation where BLS claimed that a document is missing in the postal application and either returned the package or put the application on Pending status?
Happened to me twice - I am bewildered and frustrated. I have video proof of including all docs but I am pretty sure it's not going to make a difference.
First time they did it so that they could get me to pay more (their fees were being increased). No clue why they have done it to me again.

Which email you’ll be emailing to? I am waiting as well. Though I applied a week later after you.

My Application Status at BLS site is - (Counter Delivery to BLS Centre after OCI stamping). Do you see the same status?
Hi - Yes, same status for me. It is showing as Passport ready For Dispatch after OCI stamping on the BLS site. However, when I try looking for the label on Purolator using the application reference number as tracking number did not find anything.

When OCI is dispatched by New Delhi, do they ship it directly to BLS or they ship it to consulate or high commission first ?
