OCI - New York Tracker

gvjagan: When you sent OCI apps for your family to CGINY, did you enclose just one single $ 20 check to cover return postage for all members? Or did you send separate checks for each person? Please let me know.

Thanks.

Only one return fee of $20 is needed for the entire family.

No harm done... you can send the $20 check when you send your passports after your OCI docs are received at the consulate.

Hi all,

I applied for my OCI in July, date of acknowledgement was July 31, 2008. Status granted was Aug 30,2008. But I keep checking my online status to see if documents have been mailed from Delhi to New York, it still says not printed and not dispatched.

Do you know why its taken so long for my OCI to be received at NY? Do you have any other way to get in touch with OCI folks? Should I be worried?

Thanks in advance for your help,

Since the grant date has been posted, your application is OK and there is nothing to worry. Sometimes there is inexplicable gap of 2-4 weeks between various stages - you should be seeing print and dispatch in the next few days.

I'm going to send my PPs & $20 tomorrow to get my OCI.
 
OCI collected from NY
We decided to collect the OCI documents personally from NY as we were visiting that area.
The experience was very quick and pleasant.
We reached there at 9:15; the window opens at 9:30. There were maybe 15 people in all in the line. They have a separate window for OCI.
You must have your file number for them to pull your paperwork.
Handed the US Passport and the paper that had the file number and was told to come back between 12:30 and 1 pm.
Reached there at the designated time and collected the documents
 
Our app got acknowledged today...
