Thanks for the update Harvy. 10/03 must be the dispatched date. Is there a way we can get to these people at the consulate to know the status. Our Ack / Photo was scanned on Sep 8th and no updates after that. I have confrmed tickets for Nov 8th to India and looks like, I may have to cancel my tickets. When I call Travisa, they are asking me to apply for a Visa now - bums / want more money. My friend's applied for OCI 3 weeks after me at NY already got their OCI's and Passports back. This is so Frustrating !!!

Based on my timelines (75 days from Photo scanned), you looking towards the end of November to have OCI in your hand.

Hi Everyone,

I need help if anybody is visiting the Houston Consulate for my OCI.
I was granted OCI on july 16, as I had decided to move back to India before that I requested consulate to mail my OCI card to Mumbai FRRO office. As expected it was not done and 4 months have passed. if someone is going to the consulate and if they can inquire about my status that will be great. please PM me and I will let you know the details.

Please help me if you can. thanks a lot in advance.

need to mail a document to houston travisa

anyone living in houston?

I just applied OCI for my son, daughter and myself (father). Eventhough there is no information that both the parents parents passport copies need to be submitted, i made copy of my wife's indian passport (she is still not applied for citizenship) and sent it along with application. Now i have a status "application not processed" due to missing mother's document. So they want copy of my wife's Green Card. i am sure this is going to delay the processing.

If anyone is in houston, i can fax the copy of GC and i would like them to mail it locally on behalf of me. Let me know if anyone can help me.

you can reach me XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Thanks,
RT
