OCI Card- mail coming by Fedex?
2/8- my package reached SF VFS
2/9- got an e-mail from VFS acknowledging they received my package
2/20- received an e-mail from Fedex saying that I am getting a package this week from VFS
I assume they are sending back my passport? Any idea where I should be in the process? I still am unable to track on VFS website or OCI website.

New OCI - Adult- Chicago
My timeline so far

2/1 - Dropped package at Fedex
2/2 - Fedex site showed delivered to VFS Chicago
2/4 - VFS acknowledgement via text and email that they recd my application and to check status after 48-72 hours.
2/11 - Text and Email stating VFS has started working on my application.
2/13 (Yes, on a Saturday!!) - Text and Email stating my application has been forwarded to the embassy for decision making.
2/18 - Received US passport back.

Up until 2/12 I was getting 'Invalid Input' as the response on the VFS tracking site. So I believe until they start working on your application its not in the tracking system.
Also you will have to try using the Govt of India id, USAC **** **45 for tracking.

I hope the rest of the process goes smoothly and I will get my OCI soon.
