Unfortunately not. I still did not receive my SC... just waiting for the SC and than I will go in person for the OCI.

Hey Doc, Is it Sat, Sun 05/22 and 5/23 or 05/29 and 05/30? I might have to go to the consulate in person to get my OCI as I am travelling first week of June. Also, any idea why OCI received by 05/04 don't pay $175??? It is neither the date they updated the new rule nor beginning of the...

I know JP, I couldn't believe my eyes; I thought it was only that day but borkenarrow posted saying he had seen the same thing too.

1. I reached there 9ish and some 60-70 (guessing) were in front of my in the line to enter the consulate. 2. The security guard did handover the token without even asking why I was there. And as you said only left wing (passport section) called out the token numbers. Mine was number 305 but...

It was a 4 hrs train ride for me too. I did see that 2-3 persons waiting to receive their surrender certificate the same day and one of them said she was supposed to fly the same evening. I do not know if they received it, I left there at 2:30pm but the person at the counter where they...

Another thing I noticed while I was at the consulate: I dont know if it was for peoplw who applied for Visa at consulate or it was TRAVISA, there is a counter for travisa right in the area where people form the line (rush).

ram1976: I was in a similar situation too, my OCI reached CGI NY on 07-May-2010 and the same day I mailed my passports to the consulate. They just kept my passport without doing anything and lots of emails and phone calls all went in vain, no reply whatsoever. I suppose they were getting ready...

Update on India CG NY home page

jack76: Did you receive the package (your passports) back with the renunication notice? Or was it only an email from the consulate? My passports are at NYCGI (to get U Visa Sticker) and I have my India trip coming up in less then 2 weeks. Don't know what to do. :(

Me too. I mailed my passports on may 7th and now I don't know what to do. I did not receive any emails/mail whatsoever. I emailed to Mrs. Pushpa Kumar thrice already , no reply. Just lost!!! Friends those of you visit NY CGI personally please update the forum.

Well looks like I have company. Waiting_0102, I did the same, my doc were received at NY CGI on 05/07 so I mailed my passports on 05/07/2010 with a fee of $20 for mailing charges. I am sure there will be an effective date for every rule. And CGI would post the rule/notify at least 2 weeks...
