PIO Card

PIO Chicago Consulate
It took me 2 weeks from the day my son's PIO appln reached the BLS office till the I received the PIO.
It was sitting at the BLS office for a week.And consulate processed it in another week. I made couple of phone calls at BLS and also wrote the escalation email which may have worked in my favour. What I didn't like about BLS is that they dont acknowledge receipt of the appln package within a reasonable timeframe.It took them one week to reflect on their website that they have accepted the package, that too after couple of phone callsl I made.They also didn't put the actual date of receipt. Their receipt date is when they open the package , not when they actually receive it from the courier company. Strange to say the least. However I am happy that they verified the packaged and sent to the consulate on the same day , the Consulate processed it in 3.5 business days and BLS shipped the PIO card to me almost immediately. Super quick overall!
