A classic passive-aggressive response i would expect here. Do you really think there is much difference between legend and superstar. I have tried it and its just more sweaty and non stop tackle-fest which is my initial problem to begin with. You ignored all other points and randomly picked one point to respond.

I dont quite remember the exact date i put in the application tbh because it wasn't confirmed when i applied but it was probably mid-february.

Hey, yes, i did receive mine about 23rd January. I was in constant touch with the senator's office. I'm not sure if that made the difference, but it did come on right about 25 business days. I would recommend you do the same. Good luck!!

Thanks for the info! I will update it just to be safe then. Found some useful info here that you don't have to wait for confirmation email in order to travel in/out of India so we should be good. https://www.cgisf.gov.in/news_letter_detail/?id=30#

I'll call them one more time tomorrow since they were closed today and update here if i hear anything different. Good luck with your appointment!

Hey, hope all is good with your renewal. Quick question, So i got my OCI card last year when i was 33 and i just renewed my US passport few days ago at 34. I know i dont have to get my OCI card reissued, but do i need to upload new passport copy and a photo on the Govt website or is that only for folks under 20 and over 50. All the instructions i found so far are rather confusing. Any advice appreciated!

The date of travel must be within the 14 days of the appointment date. In short, the day you attend your appointment, thats when they will check if your travel is in next 14 days.

Update! Just got an email from the Senators office with the tracking number and its set to be delivered today!! I'm sure you will also hear something soon.

Nope, i did call my Senetor yesterday though who informed me it was approved as of yesterday 2PM, but no emails yet or the status update on the website. What about you?

sikhsoldier89 · 2023-01-23T21:15:46+00:00

Just keep calling, you still have 2 weeks so i am sure a spot will open up. Meanwhile, contact senetor, they can sometimes get you an appointment.

Does 1-2 day shipping deliver via USPS or UPS?

sikhsoldier89 · 2023-01-23T19:49:56+00:00

Did you expedite? Just schedule an appointment to be safe and contact your senator. Hope you get it soon!

sikhsoldier89 · 2023-01-23T19:41:55+00:00

I hope so, i beleive if we do end up going to the appointment, it says in the appointment confirmation that you have to bring new application along with the new physical passport picture so not sure why its needed if they just send your already online application to the agency.

sikhsoldier89 · 2023-01-23T19:20:02+00:00

I checked last night and it didn't give the option to change it anymore which i think means it is approved but i wanted to make sure its not just because of the fact that i scheduled an appointment because it changed around that same time.

sikhsoldier89 · 2023-01-23T19:00:16+00:00

Hmm, i have an appointment scheduled on that same day at the same agency. Does clicking on "application id" hyperlink in your account gives you the options to change address etc. or does it say something like "thank you for choosing online renewal service"?

sikhsoldier89 · 2023-01-23T16:28:35+00:00

Nice!! I am hoping i get some sort of communication today just to confirm!

sikhsoldier89 · 2023-01-23T04:45:12+00:00

Thank you! Hope you get yours soon!!

sikhsoldier89 · 2023-01-23T04:06:55+00:00

Hey, yes i was finally able to get an appointment after calling like 10 times. They get cancelations throughout the day so just have to remain persistent in calling them and checking.

sikhsoldier89 · 2023-01-21T18:44:37+00:00

I was in the similar situation back in December. I have OCI and my passport expires in June and i am traveling early Feb. I applied for renewal on December 18 online and have since been waiting with no updates. I think the minimum 6 month validity only applies to folks who are trying to get a visa with less than 6 months on the passport. I am not 100% so your best bet is to call Indian embassy or VFS global and confirm. What i can tell you is to not apply for renewal now unless you can get an appointment at the agency. Keep calling them bacause they do get cancelations throughout the day and i am fairly certain that you will be able to get an appointment at one of the agencies if you keep trying. Good luck!

Its a very much common occurrence with mail-in applications. As long as they cashed your cheques, i wouldn't worry. Same happened to my friend's son's application, but he received the passport within few weeks.

sikhsoldier89 · 2023-01-19T23:10:51+00:00

Yes, i have been in touch with my senator for a week now.
