OCI Birmingham delays

Post by fleabay » Tue Jul 16, 2013 10:10 pm

Hi

I am a newbie to this forum.

I had submitted our OCI application in Birmingham on the 9th April and am still waiting to hear (Acknowledged on 09th April 2013). The online update is coming up as 'under process'.

Had anyone applied during this time and heard anything yet please? We are due to travel to India in August and just worried we would now need to apply for visa.

Thanks

I had mine acknowledged on 9th April and nothing has changed. As far as I know, they have processed some applications on the 4th of April. It should be anytime now. I would be very nervous if the application is not processed by the end of the week.

Was there a big rush for OCI at that time?

When we first went on 8th April (monday), they said the tokens were all given out before 10 am and the next available date for OCI appt was 22nd May. So the next day reached there before 8:30 am and got a token, but it was in the 50's and have to wait for 5-6 hours to give the applications. I was told by other people that this place is always busy
