I had send them another email inquiring if it would be possible for me to collect the OCI from India itself. I asked if the documents were not dispatched once printed i can go to Delhi and collect from them. They refused and said that it is not possible. Lets hope this can be resolved asap.

All the best with your application.
HI, there is no point emailing they have n't responded my email which i sent 2 weeks ago. but we should all email at once then they might wakeup!

I received a further response from them today stating that the situation will normalise by the end of this month. Atleast they are responding to emails. What they mean by the situation will normalise only they know.

===============================================

NOT YET PRINTED
i thing you are wrong JKO_71, even god won't know whats going to happen, he knows who he is dealing with :) see the status enquiry form says
''Ordinarily, OCI Registration Certificate and Visa are available for delivery within 30 days from the date of acknowledgment.''
still there is no information/message from them explaining about the reasons for delay & also no replies to emails.
If we miss any minor things like a self attestation sign of dependent on a photocopy, they ask you to go home, get it done and we should take another day off to submit. :roll:
we can only do this :cry:

    OCI STATUS

    Post by picturesbypri » Tue Mar 19, 2013 1:41 am

    Going by the calculations for all the applications granted on 27th Feb got printed yesterday so I am assuming mine should print no later than 20th or 21st March.

    Acknowledged on 8th Feb
    Scanned 15th Feb
    Granted 28th Feb
    Printed - not yet
    Dispatched from New Delhi - Not yet

    Well I can only hope as i have been stuck in London for over 18 days :cry:

    Is there anyone who was granted OCI before 27th and still not printed?

      Mine was printed on the 18th of March but now my printing date has been changed to the 19th of March. Not sure why that is the case. Still docs have not been dispatched.

      Yup, mine's been dispatched:

      Acknowleged 6th feb
      Scanned 12th feb
      Granted 26th feb
      Printed 18th march

      At least that's what the website says today. Hopefully we'll all get it in the next week or 2.
