Allow it 2-3 days or even more before you can track it on BLS website...........first stauts will be "underprocess" then would change to "Processing at Consulate General" (for some it doesnt change to Processing and remains underprocess). After that based on your luck you would be able to track it on https://ociservices.gov.in/statusEnqury after 2 days to 2 weeks. When you'll see OCI number on this website. Go back an start tracking BLS for the final status updates upto delivery.Hello folks . I have question regarding my child oci application.

I am in similar situation. Didnt pay for return courier for my postal application. but did book an appointment for 30-Jul as backup. Although i still doubt they will allow inperson pickup for a postal application. Lets see what happens, I am not in hurry for OCIFor a walk-in application, would it help if we took an appointment for the pickup or does it not matter?
And can I pickup on behalf of all applicants or no?
Haha, you're savage. I love what you did.Since you surrendered in person and didnt pay for return courier. Did they email you when original docs were ready for collection or you just followed the online tracking ? Also did you book an appointment for picking up the originals from BLS or just walkin ?
How abt your OCI ?
I was so pissed at BLS that I had sent the OCI (No surrender) application via CanadaPost and did not pay for return courier either. My application status changed to "Counter Delivery to BLS Centre after OCI stamping" and am just wondering what next ??
My application status on BLS has a nice comment saying "Not paid for return courier "
They'll be helpless if you dont pick any original doc from their centre.Haha, you're savage. I love what you did.
I'm using the online tracking to check on the status. It looks like the passport surrender application is close to finish, while OCI says "Processing at Consulate General" still. It's been about 20 days since applying by walk-in.
I'm going to take an appointment for 20th August assuming all my applications will be ready by then.
I wonder what happens if you don't go pick up your surrendered passports while you wait for the OCI cards to be ready for pick up.
hey Guys... just thought i should confirm what i know about pickup. You don't need appointment to pickup the documents. as confirmed by the person when I submitted by walkin application. Also, you cannot pick up both surrender and OCI at the same time.Haha, you're savage. I love what you did.
