OCI website maintenence
Hi Supan, this is annoying. I checked from my work on Friday evening, and it was working fine. Wanted to fill out the application on Sat..and now the stupid message. It's like they don't want anyone to apply. Cant even complain to anyone. What a waste.

Congrats Supan, I can imagine the feeling. I got my wife's and mine done last Sept (without Travisa) and it wasn't a problem. I have to get my daughter's done now. She's just a month old (no hurry; but just want to finish this process). Good luck for the future

Congrats Supan. Travisa and CGI need to be commended for their excellent work. 20 days turnaround for SC + OCI is indeed a record. The process has been streamlined to a great extent now. Great job Travisa.
Just received all the 4 things (US passport with OCI stamp, OCI card, cancelled Indian passport and renunciation certificate) at 10.15 am. Amazing job by Travisa and CGI NY.
From my side I used overnight priority ($20) shipping each time so $60 total. I made sure all the documents twice. I included Fedex envelop and inserted shipping label in the envelop and also attached copy to the list of documents. I Was meticulous with the documents from my side too. I just had bit concern about photo, but no problem. I had taken them from Costco same as US passport.
I made sure all the documents are exactly as per list. Included the renunciation documents with a separate paper clip inside the big bunch of documents for OCI.
Let me know if anyone has quwstions. I will check the forum for couple of days.
stcroixman - you did not update your status? whats happening?

supan: My documents mailed out after yours. However, as I do not reside in one of the 48 contiguous lower states I do not have the luxury of mailing using FedEx or UPS as they consider it international shipping and charge an arm and a leg and even more. More than that their customer service here is not the same as that in mainland USA. Therefore, I depend upon USPS express which may take a day more for delivery. Will keep the forum posted.
Congrats. Good luck with new OCI.

Prepaid return shipping envelope
Please see the checklist with Travisa order form.
14. Prepaid Return Shipping Envelope
You must provide a prepaid envelope along with your application so your documents can be returned to you once your application has been processed.

supan: I remember to have read somewhere in one of the official Govt of India documentation that either the SC or cancelled Indian passport is NOT required for traveling to India, and is only required for consular processing such as visa, POI, OCI etc. I am trying to locate the relevant documentation and will keep the forum posted. Moreover, SC is a prerequisite for applying for OCI and therefore, it is presumed you have cancelled your Indian passport and obtained SC. Was anyone in the forum asked for SC or cancelled Indian passport while traveling to India??
