:-) Good luck Link: http://www.indianembassy.org/oci.php Search for: Enquiry: There is no counter service for OCI. There is no telephone enquiry facility for OCI. All queries should be made through sending an email. Email queries will only be replied after 12 weeks of receipt of OCI application...

You wrote in your last message that you would wait till January, so wait till January!!! Read my answers below:

Couldn't wait ... shipped the Passports/PIO at 5:50pm, just before the 6pm FedEx pickup. Guys, make sure you send it via FedEx, they are the most reliable company if it comes to sending/receiving documents such as PPT etc...

Looks like the work has been outsourced to India for even OCI processing updates to the websites ;-) I am sending my package tomorrow morning, lets see how long these babu's will take to ship the package back to us.

Documents received at DC for my wife and kids (3 applications) on - 12/14/2010 :-) Time to send the passports/PIO...

People who are getting ready to send their US Passports/PIO for OCI stamping, here is the format of the Cover Letter that was posted by our dear friend gc4us a while back: http://forums.immigration.com/showthread.php?212599-OCI-Washington-DC-Tracker&p=2243550&highlight=Cover+Letter#post2243550

Honestly, if I were you, I would've gathered all the documents mentioned in this thread so far, whatever you can locate and just visit the SFO Indian Embassy and speak to them, get the answers, that way you would get the correct information, quickly enough for you to get the VISA accordingly.

1) Cover Letter 2) US Passport 3) Screenshot printout of the OCI Tracking website stating the docs are received 4) If you have not sent $20 doc return fee or return envelope, include it with this mail now I don't think you would need anything else ... people can take a look at my list and comment.

Congrats buddy, I was lucky too when my case was processed and docs came within 2 days but for my wife and kids we are still waiting 8 days now. Not sure how to get the prompt response from them if I have to contact them after 10 days. They don't pick up phones? They don't reply back to the...

My recommendation in this case would be: Do NOT play wait and watch game with embassy and kill yourself, its better to get "Entry VISA right away" for all the family members that need to attend the marriage and done with it, yes it is going to be good money but atleast you are not at the mercy...

Just a bump for people who are planning to travel to India before applying OCI.

I do think that you should get your OCI by February BUT, lets be real, Embassy is NOT very consistent in any ways. My recommendations: Do NOT book the tickets until you receive your OCI. Do NOT think about other options as they will be unnecessary hassles. Remember you do not have permission...

Well no activities in our cases since the Dispatch so I thought I should vent it out here :-) How is everybody else doing as far as status is concerned?

Ha ha ... I think cursing on this forum works magic ;-) and moves your cases faster than you anticipate ...

I have a feeling that we would be done by the end of December, mid December may be too much to expect by the way processing is going.

VM and Emmo, you know how its been with the Indian Embassy websites in last few months. They change the contents on the website so much that you can't really be sure what is there benchmark and the policies when you are in the process of getting something from them. I wish I could find and...

VM, No, I didn't receive SC with my canceled passport, it was specifically written on the website that if we apply the Indian passport cancellation along with our OCI, they would not issue a SC. I didn't bother about it either and you know what, nothing is safe with Indian Immigration Officers...

Well Indian Embassy is upto something once again. Wife's Printed date moved from 11/26 to 11/27 Kid's Printed date moved from 11/26 to 11/27 to 11/29
