Only thing to wait for is the dispatching and receiving of documents.
Hats off to the OCI office personnel. By the way, I wonder why we are praising CGI NY, when majority of the process happens in New Delhi. And that is why another intriguing fact is that different CGI have different turn around time, even though the central processing spot is New Delhi! Any thougnts?

You might want to check the threads from other consulates (houston, SF, chicago etc) to see their timelines, then you would understand. Just to give you a rough estimate, the time it took for your documents to be printed is about the typical time for other consulates to acknowledge. Also it takes about 2-3 months to go thro' the whole process at other consulates compared to 1 month at NY consulate.
