Collected OCI from CGI-NY I collected my OCI from CGI-NY yesterday. I applied for both SC and OCI together. It took 12 weeks for them to process the applications and receive the OCI at the consulate. Reached CGI at around 9:45 AM to drop off the passport. I was not sure which counter to go...

phillydude411, Take a look at this document to find out how to obtain the SC when you have lost your Passport: http://www.indiacgny.org/UserFiles/FAQ.pdf Here is question 4 and the answer from the above document: Q4 I have lost/misplaced/submitted (to US authorities) my Indian passport...

Vivek, You meant to correct something wrong I posted or were you trying to give me additional information? Please note that I am not the one who asked the original question; I was just trying to help Phillydude411 by directing him to the relevant section on the CG-NY site.

Congratulations! If you remember, could you please let me know the mailing date of your application and the date it was delivered at the consulate? Thanks!

Sorry, my postings were not to spread false news, but I was just trying to share information I got from other forums and from certain Indian consulate websites. You are probably right in saying that printing of OCI was never stopped; but there surely was some issues with printing them and they...

This one was not done that fast, still pretty fast: File Acknowledgment Number USAN01656710 I used to have a list of USANs that appeared to have been processed out of turn, but I deleted the file recently.

I believe the problem was not with the web site per se, but it was with printing the actual cards (news from SF and Chicago consulates). I have noticed that their system was under maintenance more often than not as it was in the past. However the printing problem appears to have been sorted out...

I am also in a similar situation as you. See my signature for my application time lines. With the OCI printing on hold now, I am actually planning to apply for an Entry Visa soon as I have to travel to India later this month. Have you got your canceled Indian PP back yet? If yes, you may want to...

IT Power of the world! OCI processing stopped because of an issue with a web site? Great news coming out of a country which claims to be on top of everything IT related! Looks like these guys are waiting for an excuse to stop working.

Not sure why or how this is done, but I have seen many applications being processed out of turn. If you note the USANI number, then you will also find that these are much newer applications than your own which probably has been waiting at the consulate just to be acknowledged. My application has...

I don't think there is any deadline by which you have to get your OCI card and U-Visa after they are received at the consulate. It appears that there are tons of uncollected documents at the consulate and they have even held an "OCI Mela" recently to encourage people to collect those documents...

SC received Applied for SC & OCI together; SC & canceled Passport received today.

The servers where the data is held are located in India and their clock is in IST. So if changes are made from NY after IST ticks over to next day, then those will be shown with a "future" date for us.

Status change Applied for SC/OCI together on 7/26; application reached CG-NY on 7/27. Today (6 weeks after receiving the application at CG-NY), OCI Online Services status changed to show Date Of Acknowledgment as 07-SEP-2010. SC and canceled passport not received yet.

I just went to the CG-NY site to copy and paste here an ambiguous and contradictory single paragraph from their OCI information page just as an example of their "professionalism". It appears that their site has been hacked and some malware put in there; FireFox throws up malware warning!

That is a wise decision! I don't think there will be a 2 weeks delay if you apply SC and OCI separately. You are right theoretically, and I also sent those together to save those two weeks. Instead it appears that the savings will almost be nil or even negative. It's almost six weeks since I...

If you haven't applied yet, then don't apply for SC/OCI together. Those who have done it are having varying degree of success or complete failure. That being said, there are at least two documents on the same site you are referring to that says SC/OCI applications can be sent together. I...
