OCI Online Services page says - "Please contact the Mission/Office after 10 days from date of despatch or any day after receipt of documents at the Mission/Office, whichever is earlier."

Is it necessary to contact them before mailing the originals (US Passport and Indian Passport)?

If the status says 'Docs received at CGI', there is no need to contact them - just send them your passports for visa stickers and OCI booklet.
 
Finally my family Photo/signatures were scanned and printed

Akgarg,


After contacting "Ministry of Overseas And Indian Affairs" our photo/signatures were scanned and documents were printed. I received a mail from Under secretery by saying that they will mail my documents in couple of days to CGNY.

What I would like to say is, it's better to contact MOIA instead of contacting CGNY.


Thanks for your help.

I am glad to hear that you docs are finally getting ready to be dispatched.
 
Further update - the documents have been received at CGNY. I will most likely go there this Friday 5/9 to pick up the documents.

Fees / Mailing Charges

I just recvd US passports today, I am about to Apply. I plan to go to the Consulate with my passports when OCI is approved, do I still need to send $20 for mailing charges? Anyone else done the same?
 
Instead of going to the consulate, I decided to mail my passports last week (5/7). Does anyone know how long it takes to get the passports/OCI back from the consulate?

I am preparing to send my App

I want to know how many total photos for each applicant, we need to send? On this portal it says we need to send number written on the CGI NY site + what is written on MHA site. Do you need to Add the photos?

The whole process took 2.5 months in my case, not bad.
 
OCI complete.

I went to NY CGI personally yesterday and got OCI Visa and Card/Certificate.

I leave around Philadelphia area. I took my 6 old daughter along with me and it was fun. We reach CGNY around 9:15 AM with out any problem even though this was 2nd time using NY subway. When we reached there I didn't know... we can't get into to main consulate, instead some one told me that, we should go to 'basement' of the consulate thru the street level stairs. When we went down to 'basement' it was crowded and I went counter 7 and there were already few people standing.

The window opened around 9:30 and the lady took the 'online status' print and US passports. When I asked about Indian passports, she said, they don't need them. Since I already had them canceled, I didn't care. She asked every one to come at 12:30 PM. We went around 12:15 again and she have us passports back with OCI certificate booklet.

My experience was good, except finding exactly where the 'basement' was...

My daughter liked NY:) and went around Times Sq and back to Philly around 6 PM.
 
OCI, not reached to Newyork and mailed passport after 10 days

MY OCI cards are despatched on 5th May and not reached Newyork so far,
I have to go to India on 5th June.
I have mailed my US and Indian passport on 15th(after waiting 10 days as per instructions) to them and reached NY consulate on 16th as per Postal tracking status.

Please help me " Do you have any experience on mailing passport without status "reached to Newyork consulate"

Application still not acknowledged

Hello

We mailed our application to CGNY via UPS and know that it was delivered on April 30th. To date (May 24), the status shown on the OCI website is that the application has not been acknowledged.

I am beginning to get worried that they have lost my application along with the check.. The consulate is not even picking up the phone...How do i proceed here ?

Any advice would be appreciated !

Thanks:confused:
