Managed to speak with CGIH this afternoon
She said it is now taking 8 months + for OCI processing. I asked her how come Chicago is processing in 2 months and she pleaded ignorance and said the backlog is huge in Houston and the officer is overloaded (nothing new). She said my application might be processed in another 30-40 days (9/10/2010 scan date).
After the approval documents are received by the consulate, she did say I can go personally to the consulate, drop off my passport and pick it up in the afternoon.
She advised that if I have plans to travel to India in the next 2 months I should apply for a visa
