Uploading documents
Hello,

I am almost ready with my OCI application but I have a question reg Uploading documents.
So, I uploaded my baby's US passport.
Mother's passport- Indian origin
There is a glitch in the system and now it shows that I have two uploaded passports - both were mine I guess and it doesnt allow me to delete or see what was uploaded.
I had a Re- upload button next to it so on one of the duplicate rows- I tried uploading my husband's passport- the screen turns white and crashes.
I now do not have the re-upload button next to the two rows of Indian origin passport (disappeared)
Since I cannot see what has been uploaded or delete already uploaded documents, I dont know what to do or how to correct this.
Rest of my application is complete and I have an appt scheduled at Houston CKGS to submit my documents/ application. Thank you!

OCI not received at SFO mission
Hello Everyone,

My son's OCI was got dispatched from India on 15th Feb 2016 but not received at SFO mission even after 16 days. Does anyone faced this kind of situation like long delay in receiving the OCI at SFO mission.

Does any one contacted Indian embassy at SFO for the similar issue.

I am worried whether I will get my son's OCI on or before my travel date(March 10).

Thanks,
Shiva

Will CKGS notify me after that every stage as document received and started processing ? do I need to register somewhere to get notification ?

Washington DC OCI minor application
Washington DC CKGS is insanely slow with OCI applications.

1) Acknowledgement Date: 21st NOV 2015 (as per gov india website)
2)Date OCI received: 23rd FEB 2016 (as per gov india website)

3)Date Passport was sent by CKGS to Indian embassy for Match up: 1st MARCH
Note: Passport was sent to CKGS by 23rd FEB but they took their sweet time and sent it to embassy for match up on 1st MARCH.
 
3)Date Passport will be sent back to the parents from CKGS: 10th MARCH(likely)

Close to 4 months, too ridiculous.

OCI Status after Acknowledgement - Question
"Note- Ordinarily, OCI Registration Certificate and Visa are available for delivery within 42 days from the date of acknowledgment. "

Is this 42 business days?

Also, if anybody has recent timelines for Washington DC, can you kindly please post it for new OCI and renewal for minor?

Thanks
