How long can i one wait until we send passport for OCI stamping.

[rahul_v_samant]

Hi,

I am planning a trip to India for 2 months.
If my OCI gets approved when i am in India, my oci card will be sitting in NYCGI for 2 months before i can get it stamped.

Will this be a problem? Is there a minimum time in which i have to send in my passports for stamping before the consulate "abandons" the case?

Has anybody waited that long (how many months).

Thank you

2 months is too long, hopefully it will not come to that as they are statistically unlikely to approve your OCI the day you fly out.
I think 2 weeks is reasonable, and sometimes back their website used to (maybe it still does) recommend 30 days.
I do not think the case will ever be abandoned ... knowing the state of computerization with these guys ... it will just be hard for them to find their documents.

No problem - my wife collected her passport after two months and she went originally on VISA
