Finally got the OCI in hand. The actual process of getting the visa/OCI was smooth. Gave the passports at the embassy in the morning (2 or 3 people in line). Collected the passports/OCI in the evening (again just 3-4 people in line). This was the smoothest process of the whole OCI.

OCI ready for pickup.

Finally seen some movement on my case. It is granted!!! Waiting for them to send the documents to Houston so that I can drive there to get the visa stamped. Does anyone know if I need to get an appointment or can simply drive there? Also does my spouse and kid need to be present to get the...

From your timeline, it seems more like 5 to 6 months.

I had applied for SC before OCI. I sent the SC copy with OCI application.

I did send it on 6/30. They took almost 2 months to acknowledge the same. That sucks.

That means I am scr**ed.. I sent my application on 6/30. But they acknowledged it only in August. Not sure what they were doing with my application all that time. :(

Any idea why they are so stuck? My date is 6/30 so I should not expect anything for next 4 months?

I cannot believe it takes them over 50 days to acknowledge an application. This is simply irresponsible and arrogant.

No movement on my application yet :(

It is pathetic. They took about 2 months to even acknowledge my application. Not sure when I will get it done.

From what I know you can inherit or someone can gift it to you without issues. You simply cannot buy it.

Thanks!!! So and I need to hold my breath for couple more days.

No idea. Even to acknowledge my application it took them about 2 months. There is something really weird going on in Houston.

Finally see that they have acknowledged my application. This is crazy. They received it on June 30th. They show the Date Of Acknowledgment as 26-AUG-2010. It has taken them almost 2 months for acknowledging my application :(
