Hello,

I submitted my walkin application at BLS Surrey last week of November and now if shows as "Processing at consulate general" if I check status on BLS.

If I lookup on OCI website it still shows UNDER PROCESS.
Date of Acknowledgement: 1 December 2023

Anyone else in same boat as me?

Could it be related to the postal application addresses of BLS ?

No idea . They recently moved to new location but don’t know why they are still creating Purolator label under old address. Looks like it’s not safe to send as this may result in loosing application.

Where do you track OCI status other than BLS? I don’t see any records for my passport number and file reference if I go to OCI Government website. Only see Processing at Consulate General on BLS since 18 Jan.

Hi there! I am finalizing my application to handover to postal services tomorrow for Brampton location. Can somebody answer the following questions?

1) Who should attest the spouse passport copy for postal application? and Do we need to attest the printed application pages as well?
2) What place do we need to fill in the application declaration page? specifically page number 4. Is it the BLS location or the place where you live?
3) Does the photo need to be pasted to the printed application or just send it in the postal envelope?
4) Do we need to send the marriage certificate and spouse's citizenship certificate in the postal application ?
5) If the application is sent back by BLS for any incorrection, can we submit the application again in-person or will it always be postal?

Below is the link to new checklist which I found through some blog.

it will take 20-25 days to show up in oci portal ie https://ociservices.gov.in/statusEnqury

until then u will only see the bls status. check after 20-25 days from ur application date
