It took me about 3 weeks after the date of acknowledgement to actually have the OCI in my hand. I am sure, barring any unforseen circumstances, you should have the OCI in your hand before your departure date.
good luck.
 
Thank you!

Do you have any idea when the US passport has to be sent to SFO for stamping - at what point in the process?

As soon as SFO receives your OCI booklet from India. The status will show online plus you should receive an email from SFO requesting US Passports.

You will have to check it online. After they receive your application, it normally takes at least 4 weeks, if not more.

Thanks wivnmgm. I see from the posts that in SFO, people are getting the sticker and OCI card within 50-60 days. Is that true?

I was planning on going to India in Jan end which is like 85 days from my application date. Can I book the tickets or should I wait for acknowledgment?

It is currently taking approximately 45 to 60 days after receipt(at the consulate) of your application for you to get the OCI sticker finally in hand.

If you get a good deal by booking in advance then you should go ahead and do that. If your OCI card/sticker doesn't arrive by then, you can try to go in person and obtain a same day temporary visitors visa. Please read the FAQs at Travisa India Visa Outsourcing -http://indiavisa.travisaoutsourcing.com/FAQ.html

You can also visit the consulate personally in case of an emergency.

Thanks for the advice. I think I will wait for them to acknowledge my application and then book the tickets accordingly.
