---------------Thanks for the help and it seems you went with old form where they wanted Signature of Indian Citizen and Copy of Indian Citizen Passport.
If you have any other info/details please post as it will help others and many are facing problems.
Reached window number 5 at 10:30 pm, very crowded and disorganized, spend teh whole day there, got surrender certificate at 5:20 pm
Copy of naturalization certificate ( Not Notarised, but showed them the original)
My OCI application is with NY CGI awaiting acknowledgement( I received an email saying the surrender certificate is needed for OCI application to be acknowledged and processed)
hope this helps

All these years we feared entereing the USA even though we had the documents in order. Now we fear landing in India. Will it ever end?
This can be a simple process. When one files the OCI one writes his full information on Online OCI registration site and that includes Indian passport number also (if not they can add that to online printout) and that record goes to MHA Delhi. One takes the printout and submits for OCI. When the MHA has info about person they can update passport database that particular passport holder applied OCI and Indian passport number XXXXXX is cancelled and bureau of Immigration India has access to that data. When you enter India or depart India they put the information of Passports. In the system and check the information at immigration counter before you take a flight or you enter India. This comedy is just to get money and harassment to Person of India origins who want to get OCI/PIO/Visa. First you were harassed at Indian airports now they started from US so that one can’t enjoy his/her trip to India and it is a Rehearsal of harassment drama before going to India so that you don’t feel much pain when you land in India as you have gone through Rehearsal of harassment drama and at Indian Airports you will perform better because you had completed Rehearsal of harassment drama in US. For Rehearsal of harassment drama you are going to pay them.
Reached window number 5 at 10:30 pm,...
Thanks much for posting your experience, gc_come_to_papa.
One more question comes to my mind, did they let you in without any fuss? I am planning to go there in person next week too.
thanks!

------did they tell you when they will acknowledge the OCI? do you mean now they have attached copy of surrender certificate with OCI application Or again you have to send surrender certificate when you are going to collect OCI?
** How many person did you see who came to cllect OCI (those who got OCI Card send to NYC from Delhi) were they facing some problems? were they providing them OCI cards? were they asked to fill up Form and come gain? Any info you noted will help others.
hope this helps

Just came back from the consulate. Went there to ask about my visa since I am traveling on Sunday. They asked me to come back between 4 and 4:30 and said they'll try to help me out. Let's see what happens.
There were a lot of people there for the surrender certificate. They made an announcement -- Unless you have proof that it is an emergency, they will not entertain in-person applications. It has to be done through the mail.

It takes 5-6 days from dispatch date to reach OCI at NYC from Delhi but NYC will update after 10-12 days from dispatch date (they love to keep arond 8000 OCI they have got from Delhi in last 20 days). You should take the online status printout + Indian Passport+ US passport, Copy of Naturalization certificate (if they say get notarized then inform that Notary is not ready to notarize the Copy of Naturalization certificate and show them Original and take your Original Certificate with you). Inform them your Indian passport, your US passport your signature and if they want you can write” True Copy” on Copy of Naturalization certificate and all the three signature will be same and your DL also has your signature and your OCI card will have your signature. Ask for the surrender certificate and OCI card same day as you have to go to India next week(from the date you visit) Take letter from your employer that XYX has to visit India for business trip on date YYYY(show only if asked)
if they dont give both same day then you are ARJUN and show them your colors and inform the mess they created.
Good Luck!!Just came back from the consulate. Went there to ask about my visa since I am traveling on Sunday. They asked me to come back between 4 and 4:30 and said they'll try to help me out. Let's see what happens.
---------------- Please update. I think you applied trugh Travisa . did you go directly for Visa to consulate or applied thrugh Travisa services and Visiting for the update.
There were a lot of people there for the surrender certificate. They made an announcement -- Unless you have proof that it is an emergency, they will not entertain in-person applications. It has to be done through the mail.
------------- After the announcement did the people go away or had any emergency documents? many may have gone to get surrender certificate and collection of OCI. when you go 4-30 find the info what is going on. are they still rude or normal?

I already specified details in my earlier posts. Applied through travisa on Tuesday. Was told on Wednesday to submit surrender certificate. Paid the fees and filled out surrender certificate Thurs morning, but visa was not approved.
There were still several people waiting after the announcement and some of them were arguing with the officials. The person I spoke with regarding the visa was behaving nicely. On the whole, the consulate people were trying to calm the other people down.

My spouse went in this morning to NY consulate to submit the renunciation form. I beleive there was lot of chaos. Lady at the counter took the application.
Any questions on the timeline of when we can expect the surrender certificate were not answered. I beleive we have to wait until they can process it. We do not know when, can be weeks or months.
We have an OCI application pending and was not even acknowledged. When tried to inquire about the status the lady I beleive said not even talk about OCI for now.
