Info from: BostonCool
I spoke to Mrs. Pushpa Kumar thanks to several emails/fax I guess and I emailed everybody in the world to get some attention
steps for those poor souls who already applied for OCI and waiting in various stages (for mail correspondence)
1) Apply surrender certificate - attach itinerary for emergency situations
2) Wait for letter in the postal mail
3) Mail the letter back to OCI (remember they are not connected right now ) - attach itinerary for emergency situation - attention to Mrs. Puspha
4) wait for OCI back
Simple isn't?

Mr Bajaj Reply:
Dear Applicant,
Please refer to your application(s) for the OCI status which has been received in the Consulate recently.
As you are aware, Consulate General of India, New York, receives a very large number of applications for OCI status. In order to deal with the heavy rush of applications in the past few months, we had constituted a task force and put in extra efforts to clear the applications. In fact, all OCI applications, which were received in the Consulate till April 30, 2010 and found to be complete, have been processed.
Meanwhile, the Consulate has received instructions from the Government of India that applicants for all services, including OCI/PIO applications (including those whose applications are under process or whose OCI documents have not yet been delivered) are required to submit a Surrender Certificate for cancellation of the Indian passport and renunciation of the Indian citizenship. Details are posted on our website:
www.indiacgny.org.
Kindly note that submission of Surrender Certificate is a mandatory requirement and the OCI/PIO applications can not be processed nor can OCI documents be issued without the aforementioned certificate. T
his is not applicable to the foreign-born children who never held Indian passports. However, their parents held the Indian citizenship in the past and they are advised to obtain the Surrender Certificate for future reference.
Kindly furnish the Surrender Certificate urgently so that further action on your OCI application/OCI documents can be taken by the Consulate.
We regret the inconvenience caused.
Assuring you of our best considerations.
With regards,
(Parmod Bajaj)
