Less than 2 months. This is great. Today I have been hearing very positive news in various forums here.
I guess the OCI process is not too bad but in some cases the experiences have been very troubling and i think that type of cass were more in the past then current.
 
This is starting to worry me...as my parents sent their US PPT's for stamping, which arrived at the embassy on the 15th. Haven't received them back as of today. Avg timeframe seems to be 7-8 days (in sam's and Alren's case). Anyone else sent theirs around the 15th for stamping and haven't received them back yet? 14 days and counting :-(

My status changed to Photo/Sign scanned today. So I am hoping that things will move faster.
I want to get ready for the next phase, sending US passport for U stamping.
I know that I have some mre time as it m ay take 1 week or 2 to get the OCI approved and dispatched.

When my documents are rreceived at Embassay, I have to send following:
1. Cover Letter
2. US Passport
3. Screenshot printout of the OCI Tracking website stating the docs are received
I have already sent the $20 fee.

(List taken from sams suggestion, thanks sam)

any other suggestion on enclosures?


do any one have a sample letter and sequence to attach the 3 passport and 3 screen printout.
I know this is very basic question but as many of the forum members have gobne thru this process, it will be easy to post it here.
