IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT: " Consulate General of India, Chicago will be accepting fresh OCI Applications in person as per specified timings and by mail from 11 October 2010". This is on the CGI chicago web site.

It looks like CGI Chicago has started accepting new/fresh OCI applications from October 11, 2010. Also CGI New York has removed the previous message of not accepting new/fresh OCI applications. Hopefully we will get more traction..... Lets hope their printers keep printing.

Bobsmyth, Absoluetly Right! Thanks for clarifying it further. Regards.

badprapan2, What's wrong with you man? When the immigration officer asked me to answer the 13 states in order he meant it 1 state (any state, eg. new jersey), 2 state (any state, eg. maryland), just so that he could keep count and that there would be no repititions. Did we beat you...
