Can i apply for surrender certificate and OCI at same time at chicago consulate ?. Or i have to get first Surrender certificate then attached that doc to apply for OCI?

thanks
 
What about if iam sending through mail. Can i send both Surrender certificate and OCI application ?. The information on website is not clear and iam not able to contact any person at consulate.

Is it best to send just application for surrender certificate through , once you get that. apply for OCI.

Please clarify. As i leave 6 hours from chicago.
 
Surrender certificate and OCI application can be sent together; Chicago consulate accepts it. I have sent OCI and SC application together, no issues with getting OCI.
Use separate envelopes though; one for OCI and one for SC, put these two packets in one mailing envelope.
I went to Chicago consulate in person to pickup OCI; process is simple but staff at consulate are not friendly.
 
I have sent orginal Indian passport, opy of american passport, utility bill, $195 fees and Surrender certificate through Express mail to Chicago consulate.
How long it will take for me to get back ?
 
it took about 2 weeks for me and spouse. timelines may vary though. about 2-4 weeks seems to be the norm.
 
I did not see this about they stop accepting application and i sent the application last friday. What will happen to my application. Will it be rejected. The online inquiry says application not found. How long it will take for online status to be updated.
