Renewal of passport
Hi, Has anyone travelled to India recently with a new passport but an old OCI card for their child? When I visited India last in 2017, the immigration officer said we don't need to renew the OCI card but the Toronto Counsel General office says we need to? Any experiences? Thanks.

SanFrancisco NEW OCI for minor
I have applied for a new OCI card for my 4 month old baby at SanFrancisco center.

These are my status timeline on OCIServices gov website:

Date Of Acknowledgment 07-AUG-2019
Registration Status at Mission SAN FRANCISCO
Documents Printing Status PROCESSED On 13-SEP-2019
Dispatched From MEA (OCI ) NEW DELHI On 16-SEP-2019
Document received At SAN FRANCISCO On

I see that for most of the people in this form, they received the OCI card within a week from Dispatch from Delhi date.

In my case, the OCI card is dispatched at Delhi on 16th september and i still didnt receive my card. In CKGS website, the status didnt change other than they said the card dispatched from Delhi on 9/17/2019.

Anyone in the same boat from SF center?

I have my travel dates booked in couple of weeks and this looks scary situation for me.

SanFrancisco Center
Great to see people getting OCI cards in 4-5 weeks (vs 60 business days as mentioned on ckgs site)
I have applied for minor OCI this week and have travel booked in 7 weeks, hope to get it by then.

Would like to add one thing
This time I was asked to get birth certificate apostilled (wasn't asked when I had applied for my older son). Getting apostilled was kind of not easy in Oregon, only one office in entire state does apostilled. Luckily I could get it all done in less than a week.

Application Received, Not verified : Sept 17th
Verified, incomplete : Sept 18th
Add Documents received, Verified : Sept 25th
Processed and Transit to Embassy : Sept 26th
Under Process at Consulate, Passport verified and returned to CKGS and shipped to applicant : Sept 27th
