My application was delivered yesterday and accepted by VFS today. Wait begins.
 
My OCI application was acknowledged 24-November-2021 to the Sydney office. Document printing status is being processed on 20-January-2022. Since then, I have not received any notification regarding my application status. Could anyone please let me know when I could expect to receive my OCI card?
 
I have submitted both application together and the date of ack for OCI was 24 Nov .

You should call VFS and ask for status of OCI.
 
Seeking advice. I applied OCI for my toddler few weeks ago and are planning to travel to India in April. In case we don't receive OCI before our travel, can we travel on a tourist visa while the OCI application is active? Heard that it is issued in less than 2 days time.

Yes you can apply for a tourist visa and travel to India. Since your travel is in April, you might want to monitor it's status before applying for a tourist visa.

All the best.
 
OCI status show 'Document Printing Status - Processed' on 21-Mar-2022. Any idea when I will receive it?

hi Ratnesh, I did express post my documents for OCI and renunciation on Wednesday, but havent heard anything from VFS acknowledging the receipt of the documents. Will VFS let me know or do I need to keep checking status on OCI website to track the progress of the application? What was your experience like?

VFS will email you with the VFS application id when they have opened and accepted the application. Another assurance is the credit card being charged for your application.

It might upto 7 days for them open your application so I will suggest you to wait.

Hi Ratnesh

My application was on hold for about a week and was told that this due to the fact that I was applying after my parents who hold an OCi. Last Friday my credit card was charged and an application number was provided. Status says something along the lines of sent to consulate General for review. Is it 4 weeks from this point on?

Thanks in advance.
