Dec 2009 application status

My OCI application was received by the CGNY on Dec 23 2009, and so far the status page does not have any update!

I tried calling and emailing but could not get in touch with anyone there. Anyone Dec 2009 applicants still waiting for update on their applications?

Thanks.

The link posted by Akgarg above says that the turn-around time is 3 hours. My advice would be to plan to be around till 5p when then close in case there is some issue. I will be going in either tomorrow or early next week. I'll let you know how long it took me.
 
It will help others if you post at what time you were at Window to give your US passport and what time you collected your OCI.
FYI one of my frend whent to NYC and was at window to give Online printout and US passport+Indian passport at 10-30 AM and He collected OCI Card and US visa in US passport 12-30PM. They did not cancell his indian passport and did not give his Indian passport with his documents. He asked for his Indian passport and the Person told him"why you gave the Passport? look for your Indian passport kept at window. he saw about 30-40 Indian passport kep at window and found his passport and that was not "Cancelled" . He asked the person that Indian passport is not cancelled. The person at window told not needed. it has been cancelled in records from Delhi. He came back with OCI+U visa in US passport and Uncancelled Indian passport.
Good Luck!!
 
MY OCI is also approved on 6th Feb. Was planning to go this week, but with snown around, will be going Tuesday 16th. Mahashivratri consulate is closed

January 21 was Thursday and nobody may have opened the package and next day was Friday .22,23 were Saturday and Sunday and on 26th Indian consulate celebrated republic day celebrations. I think they may have sent it to Delhi in first week of February.Expect your documents at NYC after March 20-25

Yesterday (15-Feb-2010) I collected my OCI documents and ‘U’ visa sticker for my USA passport.
Based on my previous experience with embassy queue, I was thinking to avoid queue by going at 11AM…but I was wrong. Due to long weekend for many people, there was a huge queue. I reached the window at 11:40AM; consulate officer at OCI window took my US passport and OCI web status print out page. He returned my Indian passport after placing “Cancelled” seal on my Indian passport. He asked me to comeback at 4:30PM to collect the OCI documents. I collected my USA passport with U visa stamp and OCI registration document at 4:35PM

OCI rejection notification?

Greetings,

The web status page for my OCI application does not have any status update. My application was received by the NY consulate on Dec 23 2009 (USPS confirmed delivery). Something is likely wrong.

Can someone comment on when to expect the rejection notification from them, if my application was rejected? Needless to say, I am not very happy with the lack of any type of update, and I cannot reach the OCI staff by email or phone.

Thanks!

After multiple emails and phone calls, I got a response from OCI department. They said that are still going through the applications and informed me that they would get back to me in 10 days.

Thanks! I will wait for 10 days, per the reply I received, and get back in touch with them.
 
Please see the updated timeline of my case.

I mailed OCI application on 01/02/2010. I realized that I did not include the date of Naturalization in my application, while filling my daughter's application on 01/08/2010. On 01/10/2010, I sent the corrections with acovering letter to consider the changes. I was not sure that they would consider. I went ahead and applied for VISA as I planned to travel on 02/26. Fortunatlely they considered my request and as per oline status,OCI is at CGI N Y with tomorrow's date (02/18). I am planning to visit consulate on next Monday. ( Had the consulate not considered my request, it would have taken atleast another month for OCI).

I thank everybody on the Forum for their inputs. I wish all the memebers who are in the process "BEST OF LUCK"
 
Here are my revised timelines

How many photos and Previous Citizenship..

How many photos in total per each individual NY Consulate requires for OCI APP? Is it 2 or 4?
I understand one photo should be affixed to each copy. Should we also need to send 2 more with application?


Also what should be the previous Citizenship in the following cases?

1. US born child - Both parents hold Indian Citizenship at the time of child's birth. The Child holds Indian Passport. Obtained the US Passport along with parents.
-- I guess in this case previous citizenship is Indian. as he holds the Indian passport valid till he obtains the US passport.

2. US born child -- Both parents hold Indian citizenship at the time of the child's birth. Child has PIO card. -- Should he be considered as Indian citizen till the date he obtained/applied US passport???

--------- for each 2 A forms and each A form with Photo=2 photo and 2 photo extra for each.

--------- copy of child Indian passport + copy of parents indian passport+ copy of child US passport.

2. US born child -- Both parents hold Indian citizenship at the time of the child's birth. Child has PIO card. -- Should he be considered as Indian citizen till the date he obtained/applied US passport???
------ From the date child got US passport then child is not indian citizen from the date he/she got US passport..

If you see the last 2-3 posts, NY is taking 3 weeks to 4 weeks to acknowledge. Hold on for a week or more...
