OCI acknowledgement problems.

Post by sandy123 » Fri Oct 14, 2011 4:47 pm

I have applied for OCI on 30th Sept and have not received any acknowledgement. I cannot see any confirmation on the web status finder too. The trouble is, I created an online application which I discarded as it had some errors., and then I filled in another registration application which I used to apply. They have different GBRLI.. numbers. When I use the online link to retrieve my online reg number, it shows the first GBRLI.. number as associated with my passport number ... the second GBRLI is not listed anywhere.. and says it is unacknowledged. Any ideas on this, I have tried calling them up, but I dont seem to get through on both the numbers..

Its okay, it can take up to 2-3 wks. Do continue to check with your passport number.

Thank you guys, I have been calling and mailing them., calls are never answered, and mails are responded with standard messages that postal application will take longer. The wait continues..

No point calling them , it says OCi is not an urgent process and takes up to 4-6 wks.

The first OCI registration does not matter, it will just stay on the system un-used. The software developers did not consider the situation where this could happen. I was also in the same situation where my first registration number appears in the search tool but my application with the second registration number is acknowledged by HCI London. If applied by post the application will not be acknowledged for a minimum of 4-5 weeks.
