So when do you collect the documents from Embassy? after printed?

[i_have_applied]

Hi TC, Mine is printed now. I think it's just a matter of time now. I do think though that it will take the required 30 days to process the complete application from A to Z

Sure TC will do. There is no movement as yet and its way past office time in India now. So need to wait till tomorrow to see what happens. Did they say all OCIs will be sent at the same time? I hope you get yours soon.....did you apply for visa as backup? I am told you can do that while OCI application is being processed.

Thanks for your reply TC, I dont think I now need to contact the OCI cell. My documents were dispatched today from Delhi. I suppose they were sending documents in separate, manageable batches. Have a good time in India.
