To check the PIO to OCI Application Status Online, firstly, you need to visit the official OCI website and choose the option that says OCI inquiry. Once you click on that, an option will appear saying "View your application status"; click on that option. Once you do that, you will be redirected to a new page where you need to provide some details like your application file number and passport number. After that, you will be required to add a captcha; ensure to fill it out properly, or else it might cancel the whole process. Once you enter the captcha, look out for the "Get Status" option and click on it. Now wait for some time, and soon, your OCI status will be reflected on the next screen.

    Here are some of the benefits of checking OCI application status:

    • If you regularly check your OCI application status, then you will get a report of your OCI application progress. 
    • Check your OCI application status regularly. In case your application gets rejected or stuck due to missing documents, you can submit the missing documents to solve the issue. 
    • Always check for the OCI card status online to have a clear understanding of the additional cost for the OCI application. 
    • Regularly checking your OCI application status will help you get knowledge of OCI eligibility and important updates related to the OCI application.

    There are different types of OCI application status stages, which are given below: 

    • If your OCI application is showing under process, then it means that your application is registered at the Indian embassy, and for further processing, ministry clearance is required. 
    • If your OCI application status is showing processed, then your OCI application is processed, and your OCI card has been issued. 
    • If your OCI application status is showing Waiting for dispatch, then your card has been confirmed and is being processed for dispatch.
    • If your application status is showing Dispatched, then it means that your OCI card has been sent, and you will get your OCI within 10-15 days.
