OCI Shipping lable voided
All,

My son's OCI has been in CKGS Sorting facility as on 16th May 2018.
However, the UPS shipping label which was generated for OCI dispatch now shows Voided because it exceeds 90 days’ validity. (the label was generated on Jan 12th at the time of application submission).

In this case, how the OCI card would be dispatched to me?

Kindly advise.

problems printing completed form
I successfully completed my OCI application form. However, when I pull up my PDF and send it to print, the print preview window shows my document with all my information on each line perfectly, but when I actually print the document, my answers are not there. Just the questions on an otherwise blank form.

I have saved the PDF locally and still my filled in answers are not printed as shown on the saved file. Weird. Anyone else had this situation?

OCI web form glitch
I am trying to complete my OCI form on line but the drop-down menu where it asks "select country" (for country of birth, citizenship etc.) the drop-down menu does not list all the countries. It lists only about 10 that start with the letter A. No countries after Armenia are listed to choose from. I can't type in the word, one has to "choose" it.

Big problem with the unresponsive website. I have tried with different browsers, refreshed the page--all to n avail.

Any solutions?
