OCI process

[softwaretesting]

Received acknowledgement for me & two minors just now (showing date of acknowledgment as 8-Nov).

Had submitted application in person at BLS Brampton on Oct 14.

Got my wife's oci today. My oci saga ends here. Just in time for flights next week.

Best of luck to everyone still waiting. Hope things work out for you.

This thread and @eas2lv tracker have been immensely helpful.


Godspeed.

Documents Printing Status	PROCESSED	On	07-NOV-2023
Dispatched From MEA (OCI )	NEW DELHI	On	08-NOV-2023

So basically our friends at the consulate update the "processed" in the morning and then the rest gets upated sometime afternoon.

Now can anyone please let us know if there is anyway I can pick up from Brampton BLS. what needs to be done for that .
I know this has been discussed somewhere in the forum.
If someone can please point me in the right direction .
I am still not confindent enough to book a flight for Sunday . right now flights from JFK looks doable, everything else is just ridiculously expensive.

Toronto OCI trends update:
Ack 25 days, process 21 days, dispatch 5 days -- total 51 days from BLS application date (as of 7th Nov, 2023)
About 10 days slower than a month ago, and the Ack slow down is continuing.

Satruday delivery is a special service, but BLS packages do not qualify (as far as I know).

What did they raise an issue on?

In tracker your application date is mentioned as Oct 16. What date does it show on BLS Application tracker?

 

[eas2lv]

Oct 13 application and still waiting for ack

Your application date is 16th right, expect Ack a few days later. If not, check BLS status for actual application date -- not the day mailed or acked by BLS. May be I got it wrong?
