I am done with OCI Received my passport and OCI yesterday via USPS mail - cost only $5 as opposed to $23 by Fedex. Total time taken = 4/27 - 6/16 = 49 days. I feel bad for the guys in Houston and SF. I think to keep up with their stated commitment of 30 days from the time it is sent to...

Another twist to the travisa nightmare. Just found this update on my application on the Travisa status check website. "Your original passport has not yet been received. When your OCI card is received, you will be sent an alert email to mail in your US passport. If you have recently mailed in...

Agree... My bad.

Chicago OCI - Mailed 4/26/11 Sent to Embassy 5/7/11 Scanned 5/10/11 Granted 5/11/11 Printed 5/30/11 Dispatched 6/1/11. From this timeline it looks like they are taking the 30 day turaround seriously. Normally after Printing it would take 8-10 days for dispatch.

Sent corrected photos for OCI via USPS first class mail with tracking....LOT cheaper. Thanks for the money saving advice.

Update: Received an email from Travisa late on 3/31 that the photos were not correct. I think we need a NASA scientist to help us here. Went to Devon and got the photos from Sejal Photo Studio. The person looked like he knew what he was doing. Mailed on 4/1 using USPS on advice of posters here...
