Your estimate of the completion of an OCI process by mid-December Can you guys give me some general advice about whether I should apply for OCI or not within the next few days (i.e., on or before September 7), and expect it to be completed by December? I have to travel to India on December 13...

Yay! Congratulations, fellow Yank (and instant TV star)! One hundred and eighty five days was a long wait, but it must feel great now. :-)

@stcroixman: Thank you for your advice. Much appreciated.

Is there any downside to applying for the OCI and the SC together (now that Travisa handles these matters in Houston)? Sometime back, soon after the processing at Houston was taken over by Travisa, I had read that it was an unwise idea. I am asking, now that a a little time has passed, what...

Congratulations! [Now, I wish you no more than one jury duty. ;-) ]

Congratulations, MVPVAPI! :-)

Thank you for the clarification. Gift, indeed! :)

Ah! That is indeed what I thought you did. But, your clarification makes it crystal clear. Thanks. One question remains though. You are referring to the Priority Mail envelope that you sent as "small." However, the link you have included in your earlier post describes it as a "large 10 x...

Thanks, Rsur, for the information. Much appreciated.

Congratulations, Rsur! $5 by USPS? Sounds like USPS Priority Mail? Was that it? With delivery confirmation? Did you enclose the USPS return envelope? Thanks.

Last night the OCI section of Travisa's web site was down for a while. I guess they were updating it so as to reflect the new rules. Given the new situation, shouldn't they take out point #2 from this web page: https://indiavisa.travisaoutsourcing.com/oci/top-rejection-reasons ? For many new...
