Thank you Deepak,
I sent my application on Wednesday last week using Express Post to VFS Global, but the tracking id status is still 'Pending'(after 1 week), I am worried that Aus Post might have misplaced the parcel ....
They are saying they can't start the investigation before January 17th .... this entire process is getting messier for me...
Any one else had any experience of delayed delivery?

AU Post are experiencing huge delays now. I was told that express post would take minimum 1 week.
You just have to be very patient with the process.

VFS also will not process your application straight away. When I applied, the application was delivered to VFS PO BOX and they took around 8-9 working days to accept the application and process the payment on my card. You will only receive notification from VFS once they have accepted the application.

Just be patient. Can't do anything to make it a faster process at the moment.

I understand that AU post is being inundated with deliveries, my concern is the status of my parcel is still 'Pending', I don't care if it takes 2 weeks to reach VFS, I just want to see the status being updated so that I am reassured that the parcel atleast has safetly reached AU post warehouse from the letter box.
Do you know if even that(from letter box to warehouse) is taking more than 1 week?

Cheers.

Nope it was the normal express post, I think this is what is suggested by VFS.

I recently got my surrender certificate. I just followed instructions as per VFS website. I completed and printed application form using this link Passport Seva at Indian Embassies. When you click on Australia it takes you to passportindia.gov.in.

Hi,

I then applied for OCI. My OCI application was accepted by VFS on 21st Dec and received by Indian High commission on 23rd Dec. Application status is Under-Process.

Unfortunately that will be the last status you see on the page and there will be no more updates. They don't even let you know the tracking number, so keep an eye on your postie.

How much time VFS is taking these days to accept application after delivery? Back in Nov 2021, it was 6-7 days.
