To be honest, I searched for some direction on photos before we did our OCI applications too. Main questions were regarding size and background. I took a chance and had regular passport size photos from our local pharmacy and sent them through. Our applications have been accepted and granted...

It takes about 1 week or 10 days to get the applications acknowledged. After that with in 10 days or so it is granted. If there is any problems with the form, the "nice" folks at CGI Houston will return your entire package. It happened to us, as I didn't include my son's birth certificate...

Application Still not acknowledged We have sent our OCI application for me, wife and kid (Pio to oci) on 5/25. Reached Houston CGI on 5/26. I still haven't recd any notification from CGI to say it recd. the application neither the Online OCI inquiry form is offering any useful information...

We were in similar situation...we chose to convert pio to oci. In our thought process, it would be easy to reside in India, if we ever decide to move back, and not have to worry about residency requirements etc. s_a_kumar
