Cgisf Mangal, Thanks for your reply. I have sent an inquiry by email to the address that you indicated. I am crossing my fingers and hoping for a reply back from the MEA. Best Regards,

Cgisf Here is the auto reply that I received from CGISF a moment ago - From: "OCI Section, CGI, SF" <OCI@CGISF.ORG> Subject: AUTOREPLY FROM OCI SECTION, CGISF.>>>>>>> [PLEASE DO NOT REPLY TO THIS MESSAGE]<<<<<<<< Date: Sat, 18 Mar 2006 15:07:55 -0800 Thank you for your interest in OCI...

Cgisf I understand that "Granted" does not imply that the process is done with. It is nearly 8 weeks since my application was "Granted". I just sent CGISF an email inquiring about my application. Has anybody here had luck talking to CGISF on the phone? If so, is there a particular person I...

CGISF - "granted on January 24th" but no OCI yet Hello folks, I haven't visited the forum in a few days. Recently a friend of mine who applied for OCI in Feb this year called me to let me know that his name appeared on the CGISF list of people whose OCIs were ready. I had applied for...

Cgisf csp1 - could you post the relevant dates of your case. Things like when you applied, when your application was granted, when you heard from CGISF regarding the availability of U-sticker etc.

Cgisf Congrats! As somebody posted earlier, some applications which were "Granted" in February are ready with U-Sticker/cards etc. The list is on cgisf's website. Even though my application was granted on 24-Jan-06, my name is not on the list!

Cgisf Thanks for your prompt reply Akkcausa. I appreciate it!

Cgisf Hello Akkcausa, Congrats on getting your oci card. I do hope the errors on your card will be easily corrected. Can you share some information about your application. Specifically (a) when did you apply (b) when and how did you hear back from CGISF regarding the next steps with your...

CGISF and OCI I applied a couple days after CGISF started receiving application. I think I completed the online part around Jan 11 and mailed my entire application the next day.

OCI and CGISF - Status Granted Hi mangal, Thanks for your advice. I went to mha web-site last night and used my reference number. It gave me a status of "Granted on January 24, 2006". I haven't received any communications from CGISF (electronic or otherwise) so I wonder if it really means...

CGISF and OCI acknowledgement Howdy Folks, I submitted my OCI application about 3 weeks ago - a few days after CGISF started accepting applications. I haven't received an acknowledgement (email or postal mail) from them thus far. Does anybody know if CGISF sends out email or postal...

Just look at previous messages in this thread. Somebody posted messages from the OCI cell at one of the CGIs.

As Per CGISF

Good News! Good news indeed. The OCI program at this point begins to look more and more real. Granted that the process could have been made a lot smoother (and should be in the future). Even so this is a step in the right direction.

From CGISF Thank you for your interest in OIC scheme. To answer your queries: 1) Total no. of photographs required are 3 for each applicant. 2) Copies of both the passports- US as well as Indian need to be notarized. Notarize only the first page. Pages with important and relevant...

Dunno if you can assume that. I became a US citizen in July and got a 10yr visa to India soon after. Regardless I applied for OCI on Wednesday just so that I could get it out of the way. I expect that at the minimum it will take a 3 months or so before I hear back from CGISF.

foto fiasco This is just incredible and borders on incompetency. How can they possibly change such key requirements in a matter of hours?

Thanks for posting the replies Really appreciate it guys. Since I could not get through on the phone to anybody at CGISF.

Number of Photos Malgudi, The wording is not a 100% clear but because they say in one place that "photos should be pasted" and at another "submit 2 photos as part of documentation" (I am paraphrasing), one could take it to mean that 4 photos per applicant are needed : 2 pasted and 2 not...

Web-site I did manage to get in. However, USA-SF consulate does not show in the "place of submission" drop down menu. Infact the drop down menu seems to be truncated. if I type USA, I get USA-Chicago but I can't seem to figure out how to get it to say USA-SF (or similar). Sigh....
