Online application submission: 05-nov-2022
Date of submission to VFS: Nov-10-2022 (had to send the photographs by courier as i forgot to attach them in the first document submission package)
Date of submission to Indian Counsulate: 15-Nov-2022
Processing Completed on : 06-Dec-2022

Process was smooth

I have applied for the OCI card for a 4month old kid and it is taking time to process. Meantime Can I apply evisa and travel back to India as my job position was lost in the USA and I can't stay more than a week in the USA?
I will get the OCI card after reaching India and I will transfer OCI card from the USA. If my OCI is approved, will by E-Visa be canceled while my kid is in India?

My experience of renewing the OCI for my daughter after turning 20 years of age:

Hi, i have applied for oci on October 4, still shows in process. Travelling on 22nd November.

Wondering if i can apply for e-visa while oci in process and how long it takes?

Not an experience but question:
15th October - Date of Acknowledgement by the Indian Embassy.
How long does it take to receive the card from the date SF Mission's acknowledgement that they received the OCI application?
I am flying out to India on 2nd December and need it for work purposes.
