Q.882 OCI Application status

inquiry . . .

Dear Sir, I would like to you regarding my OCI status as i have applied since 19th January 2016. My details are as follows below: NAME : NEENA XXXXXXX PASSPORT NO. : XXXXXXXXXX FILE ACKNOWLEDGEMENT NO. : XXXXXXXXXX DATE OF ACKNOWLEDGEMENT : 12TH FEB 2016. Kindly do the needful. Thanking you in advanced. Best Regards Neena Answer: This website is not associated in any way to the government of India and is a private website. To find the status of OCI application the procedure is to visit the official government of India website: • Go to https://passport.gov.in/oci/ • From this web-page, follow the menu and select ‘Status Inquiry’ option. • Enter the required info such as name, passport number & date of acknowledgement and submit. If information entered is correct, the status of application is displayed on the screen and can be printed out. My understanding is that usually, OCI Registration Certificate and Visa are available for delivery within 42 days from the date of acknowledgment. If there are any objections regarding Photographs/Signature/Thumb impression etc., the process may get delayed and the same will be communicated to applicant by the concerned Mission/ Office via OCI web site/ SMS/ Email/ Phone etc. Since more than the normal 42 days have lapsed since your OCI date of acknowledgment, check your email or contact info you provided in your application to ensure you have not missed any mail requesting information relating to your application. Check your OCI application status on- line and if it continues to say under process, you may have to contact the appropriate office.
