OCI passport match up - how to via courier? Help!
We don't have the option at this time to fly to San Francisco to get our passports matched up.
I pro-actively emailed CKGS in SF and asked them when I could send it the passports a week after I saw that the Gov of India site showed that passports had arrived in San Francisco. They replied to send in the application and sent me a link. I printed the Online OCI Services application status for all family members which shows their name, passport num, OCI number. Now I'm ready to send the passports and these printouts.
The courier service is very confusing.
1. I enter passport details and personal details on the page: http://www.in.ckgs.us/VPOOnline/WebPages/CourierService.aspx?passportNumber=gZAvVSQhjOufgganCyPP9g==
2. Then it shows additional 2 sections - one for entering the AWB (airway bill number) for sending the application (to the San Francisco CKGS address)as well as a second section with AWB and address to receive the passports and cards (my address)
My question:
Where am I getting this airway bill number? Do I BEFORE filling out this form, go to FedEx or FedEx online, get an airway bill for sending and one for receiving the returned passports and cards (that would make sense). THEN when I have the airway bills, enter these numbers in the form above?
What is the order of things I need to do here?
Also I also paid $15 per person - ($60 total for family) for return of submitted supporting documents and Indian passport and renunciation form - I'm assuming that is a SEPARATE fee and doesn't apply to passport rematch.

OCI Renewal in DC
After about 3 months, my son's OCI (renewal) is on its way to DC and hopefully it will be there in next couple of days. I dont want to wait for CGKS and their process.
Can I go directly to DC embassy, once it shows that is has arrived in DC, directly and get it stamped? Has anyone done that successfully in DC recently?
Any help is appreciated. Thanks

OCI delay
Applied for my son's OCI card first week of May 14.
The status keeps on showing " UNDER PROCESS"
No help from BLS or CKG and don't know who else to contact.
The Indian Embassy collects huge amount of money and leaves us in total darkness.
Any help about who to contact would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Renunciation Certificate
Subject: Renunciation Certificate
I applied for Oci card through BSL Services and sent all applied fee after
online registration on April 4, 2014.
The file ref # is USASI2728913. On May 13, 2014 I received the case for
lack of proof of Renunciation. I don't know what to do next. I did not
receive my Indian Passport along with the returned case. I don't know
anything so I am seeking help from friends. Please guide me what to do. I
cannot track my status of application.
Any help is appreciated.
In distress,

Adult OCI and Renunciation Delays
My application for adult OCI and Renunciation - sent to SFO 5/8/2014
Forwarded to New Delhi - Acknowledgment Date 05/14/2014
However there was NO UPDATE IN STATUS for 45 days.
Kept showing UNDER PROCESS
On 7/8/2014 I sent an email and the status updated within a day
It now shows as PRINTED on 7/9/2014.
It also shows that my Registration was granted on 06/11/2014
I wonder why the documents had not printed and status was not updated all this time
My suggestion would be to send an email to expedite.
I had sent an email to: [email protected] OCI Unit New Delhi and he responded within a day

Got My OCI Card at NY CGI Today
My experience with the process have been fairly good. I applied for OCI and renunciation mid-April 2014 and it arrived at the New York CGI mid-June 2014. I kept sending them emails about how to pick up but their response was to wait until I received an email notification.
Finally I went with my US passport and a printout of the OCI status to the NY CGI this morning. They accepted my passport and the printout at 10:30 am and handed my the OCI and renunciation at 12:30 pm.
A couple of people who picked up their OCI today had applied in January and February so I feel I was lucky.
