It's the way they have implemented. Its happening for me as well, even when I am using chrome on laptop. It will start showing status as Under Process in couple of days, if not tonight.
OCI process

Thank you very much. It's really wierd I submitted on Saturday November 26 but application date on BLS shows something so I'll just have to wait.

It is too close to call. I suggest going to the BLS office for pickup on the 23rd Dec if they have received it. Once the Christmas weekend starts, it is difficult
Mine is Nov 24th and I have received the updated status. I applied for e-visa yesterday and I got it today. Better to apply for e-visa rather than waiting
Yes you can since you are going to upload the copy. But you need the original passport to travel
There is an open house on every Wednesday from 3 to 4.30 in consulate. You can go there and explain your situation and they will help you.
It depends on the jurisdiction, I think. I applied for my minor daughter in Toronto and no attestation needed, but had to send the original Birth Certificate and Passport. They will return them after the application status starts showing up in OCI site.
Thanks, @sid8252 . I would be applying in Toronto jurisdiction. Thanks for answering that. However, regarding originals, I was under impression that we do not have to send original. But since you are saying, you had to provide the birth certificate and passport.
