I want to apply the OCI for my son. Since it is taking more than 3 months (based on the experiences of members in the forum), I think it would be a good idea to apply for the PIO instead of the OCI.
Can anyone who applied to CGI NewYork for an OCI card in the last one month post their experience.
Thanks
Vivek

My app has been at the consulate since the 5th. Seriously annoying. And, now I've decided to get a visa too, so I have to get something quick! How damn slow can this be EVEN AFTER OUTSOURCING!!!

My Renunciation application and my wife Renunciation application were received by Travisa on 4/18 . Till this morning I have no udpate. I hoping that my application will be opened this week.
I have given up all hopes at this. I will just apply for the VISA in person and travel on VISA.

YES IT IS RIDICULOUS. Did you see the complaint I sent them? Can we all write one like that? And to the consulate?
I wanted to apply for OCI, but it will have to be a visa as well... almost $250 down the drain as I will apply for OCI eventually.

Thank you. I will write the consulate AFTER they process my renunciation... hehe. And the visa.
I have been reading this OCI thread for the last few weeks and found it very helpful in giving an idea about how long it is taking for the process.
After a few anxious weeks, I have finally received our OCIs in hand and here is my timeline. This was with the New York CGI.
It took three weeks for Travisa to send the documents to the Consulate. It had me worried because this timeline was not mentioned on Travisa's website and I have planned to travel in first week of June. I contacted them twice (once every week) and they replied promptly. In the first reply they said that the volume of applications was large and they were backlogged. In the second one they again said that they were backlogged and even told me which week's envelopes they were currently processing. That was helpful.

Thanks. I still think that's besides the point. Taking this long for something, AND not updating their times online, makes me think Travisa is dropping the ball. Maybe I'm just having a bad year...

Aw come on, don't beat yourself up over this. Every single poster on the board, except for a handful few have been screwed over by Travisa/CGI.

cafeconleche,
Do you have any update on ur application for renounciation ? I have not gotten any update on my application since Travisa received on 4/18. I called Travisa yesterday and they have no answer for this delay or when I can have my application processed.

Thanks ndk100. This information is very helpful. Our OCI turned to granted status today. If it takes exactly the same number of days for us to get the OCI, it will arrive just the day before our planned trip. We earlier planned to cancel our tickets and rebook it, but now it seems it's better to wait until the last day (the cancellation amount that we would lose would be same irrespective of when we cancel it).
Any one's docs submitted to consulate after 3rd may ?
Folks,
I had my oci app turn to payment processed status on 3rd ( delivered on 4/12 ,payment processed on 5/3) and there has not been any change after that. Got a note that day that app will be submitted to consulate shortly but that has not happened. If anyone has had documents submitted to consulate after this date from travisa pls. share your timelines. It will help me determine if there is a problem with my case.
Thanks.
