Today, my Renunciation docs are reached to New York Travisa office. Any idea on usually, how much time it takes to complete - "Renunciation/Surrender certificate" process at New York Travisa office?

In my case, it was fairly quick. Travisa New York received my renunciation application by mail on 10/22 and they Fedexed me back my surrender certificate on 10/26. I had opted for the 2-way prepaid Fedex option offered by Travisa. I didn't of course receive it immediately because of the "Sandy" episode here.

The processing on OCI seems to be slower at their end. They received my application on 11/14 but still no further activity. For renunciation, they assigned it the same day within a few hours, and it was sent to Consulate the next morning.

Yes, akayal1973, Travisa seems to be fast on processing renunciation application. See my signature. Also I sent renunciation applications for my son & daughter and I did not received any email notification about my kids. Actually, I sent three applications separately for myself, son & daughters case as my kids are 18+.

As I heard that Travisa is taking long time to process Renunciation Certificate & OCI together, I decided to have Renunciation Certificate process first & then go for OCI.

I will start my OCI processing from next week & lets keep in touch regarding OCI processing!!

Congratulations Rohit, NY embassy OCI process seems to be quicker compared to Houston.

Post-Sandy not sure whether the Travisa NYC is still fast - my OCI application hasn't even been assigned for processing at Travisa's end even though they received it 5 days ago.
