Well folks we are almost there in OCI app. The wonderful folks at houston mailed our family passports yesterday via FEDEX. Ofcourse, it wouldnt be complete, without some cine-climax routine, so they did not put correct address (missing unit#) So fedex refused to deliver the package. I...

Vellabadu, Thats good to hear that you are able to talk to a live person at houston. Hopefully yours will be resolved soon. keep us posted.

Vellabadu, Sorry to hear about your kid's passport sent back empty with no explanation. I would contact Travisa, explain them the case that your son's passport is replaced. I understand Travisa is lesser of the two evils. That would be my idea. Hope things will workout. I can understand how...

Javacafe, Its just my feeling (may be different in reality), that travisa processing may be more bearable (may be less than month or two months) with houston. I can not believe india being IT giant of the world can NOT post timings, expected delays etc until applications are in their mail bag...

Dori, Thank you, I read the link you posted on this forum. Definitely it mentions sending cancelled indian passports for verification. Will you be mailing your passports or getting OCI in person? thanks for your posting and time.

Vellabadu, Thank you for your reply to my posting. Well then I will include cancelled indian passport of mine and my spouse cancelled indian passport. Ofcourse I have to send in the PIO original (mine), and mine+spouse original us passports. May I ask you, did you already got your family...

Dori, Thanks, Can you please let me know what we need to mail to Houston after the OCI is recieved at houston? I will be mailing my +spouse passports, as I live quite a distance from houston.

printed Hi All, me and my spouse application are finally printed. It took delhi/whoever 21 days to print a granted application. (dori, you are almost same timeline as me, so you may expect it soon.) imagine this, it used to take 40 days for the whole thing of OCI by houston. Now it...

still not printed Still waiting for granted application to be printed. 20 days and counting ..... anyone else in the same boat....

dori, thanks for your application update. We both are almost in the same timeframe. Lets hope houston gets up from coma and looks at our applications. It is such a shame an IT giant like india can not post workload or timeframe atleast minimal information on their website in houston. No...

doubter, When I read about familygupta application progress I thought things are moving. Later I realized he/she belongs to chicago consulate jurisdiction. My case so far no progress. It has been more than 20 days since application has been in granted. It is taking in my case more than 20...
