Both Jersey and Guernsey Commonwealth Games Associations are waiting to decide whether or not to travel to Delhi over fears of poor accommodation.
The Jersey team have said a decision will be made within the next 24 hours, while Guernsey will decide on Friday.
Jersey's Commonwealth Games secretary Alan Cross said: "At the moment we are sending a team but we will be continually reviewing the situation.
"We'll make a decision based on the reports we get in the next 24 hours."
Jersey and Guernsey are among several teams to raise concerns about the quality of accommodation at the athletes village.
Scottish officials found their original accommodation to be "unsafe and unfit for human habitation".
England are "optimistic" they will compete, but say urgent work is needed before the Games begin on 3 October.
If the 33-strong Jersey team do travel to Delhi, they will be staying in a different tower block after the one they were originally allocated was deemed unfit for habitation.
Jersey's team manager Paul Huddleston is currently on site in Delhi inspecting another tower block.
Guernsey's chef du mission David Harry said: "The games village consists of over 30 tower blocks and it appears blocks 1-20 are in a reasonable condition, although there is still work to be done, whereas the later blocks 21-20 do need more work doing.
"Luckily the Guernsey team is in block number seven and I'm told by my colleague who are already there that although work needs to be done - it could be made to the correct standard of accommodation within the next 36 hours."
