If I understand it correct (http://www.cgihouston.org/OCIMisc.html), you must send it to Travisa. While I was in Houston, I have seen notices hanging on walls indicating that Travisa is handling all OCI stuff.

Done with the OCI saga (10+ months).. Here is my story.. Documents were received at Houston on 7/15/2011. I had a trip planned for India..I thought I will personally drive down to Houston (from Dallas) and get it over with instead of dealing with CGI mailing the stamped passports. Went to...

Mine shows the same... Anyone know if I can drive down to Houston myself on Monday and get the Passport Stamped? Do my wife & kid need to be present or can I have it done for all three of us?

Finally, light at the end of the rather long OCI tunnel.....status changed to granted on 6/28 (including spouse & kid)......guess I have to wait for the print status.... Looking at the tracker again at immihelp today...seems that they are definitely clearing out the Dec'10 ack...

OCI tracker for Houston at immihelp seems to show some progress for applications sent in Sep' 2010 with and Scan date in Dec' 2010. Baby steps for sure.... 4 approvals this month with 3 on 14th and one on the 23rd.....hopefully the misery will end soon. __________________ App Sent: 09/20/2010...

Munu, She does not need a SC since she does not hold an Indian passport. Just follow the OCI process (parts a/b) for her.

No word yet. Still waiting. I believe you can call the 800 number but I am not sure if they can do anything about rescheduling. My advice, take a day off and be done with the oath instead of trying to pre/postpone. Things sometimes move/work in mysterious ways with these dept's.
