OCI - which consulate you are talking about?
NYC may take anywhere between 3-4 months -whereas SFO takes less than 2 months
 
Apply for OCI. There is still lots of time.
Make sure you get the surrender certificate first (NOW).
Apply for Visa 3 weeks before travel if OCI is not approved.
I presume you already naturalized and have a passport in hand ... if oath etc., is yet to happen, then these timelines will not apply.
While finally things are in Indian government's hand, I suggest you initiate the process ASAP so that you have some spare time if something goes wrong.
