Has your documents printed status changed?. My wife's application shows that this was granted on March 18 but does not show any progress for the past one week.

Should I apply for Tourist Visa?
We have plans to go to India in the first week of June. If we apply for OCI along with SC now, would we be able to get the OCI before June? Or is it too risky?
If risky, should we apply for Tourist Visa or Entry Visa? Which one is faster? Looks like Tourist Visa ($60) is cheaper than Entry Visa ($100).
In any of these cases. do you think we should apply for SC separately and then for OCI or Visa?
Appreciate if someone could provide pointers. Thanks.

I would apply for SC at the same time. This will probably save time. Interesting that now tourist visas are again available for former Indian citizens. I wonder why...

Travisa is taking at least two weeks to open OCI applications.
Folks,
I have mailed my OCI application on 03/14 and it reached to travisa on 03/16.
Yesterday (03/30), I got an email saying that they processed the payment of my OCI application. Thanks to all the persons (earlier posts) who provided me the valuable information that travisa is 8-9 business days behind the schedule in opening the applications.
I haven't seen any subsequent updates from first week of march applicants.
I would appreciate if you can update this forum with any status changes.

Has anyone NOT included a prepaid return envelope/label because they want to pick the passport up themselves? I know it says they recommend doing it even if you want to pick it up, but I don't want to include a label at all because I DEFINITELY will end up getting it myself. Do you think that'll be a problem?
Please see my signature for updates - though I did not receive any emails from Travisa regarding the updates, I happened to track the status on Travisa's site, I saw my appication is pending with GOI. Then I went to http://passport.gov.in/oci/OnlineOCIenquiry.jsp? to get the latest and got upto-date info.
Here is my OCI status update:

Thank you for your help.

Travisa is about 2 weeks delay in opening the application so next week you will have updates. And yes we send original passport (family of four, so four passports) with the application.

Vivek, I have not sent my passports yet. I am thinking of picking it up in person next week..
RB,
As familygupta mentioned, you have to wait around two weeks for someone @travisa to open your application. It is a mandatory requirement from travisa to send the original US passport along with OCI application. I don't know how travisa handles your case if you don't send the original passport along with OCI form.
Thanks.
