Foreign Spouse OCI --> NY
Today I am posting OCI card process for Foreign Spouse, hope its helpful for people out there.
         ->First of all got the documents ready as described on the website. Looked pretty straightforward , you have examples on how to do all the documents readily available.
         ->Only thing that we had to actually work on was getting our marriage certificate Apostille. For any one doing this in future , you can get this done by your state Apostle service, [since we are in PA we got this done in Harrisburgh due to pandemic the mail service is backed up, so went in person]. Also the marriage certificate you're supposed to Apostille is certificate issued for immigration purpose[make this distinction at the registrar that issues this marriage certificate or else you will have to go back and get it done like we did].
    -> July 17 : We completed the application online and did the payment;
    -> July 24 : We submitted the documents in person in Harrisburgh[Consulate General of India had a consular camp].
    -> July 28: Date of Acknowledgement
    -> Sept 24: We had our interview at Consulate General office in New York [They did schedule it prior and where super helpful during this process, we did face some
                       issues but all in all everything well]. During the interview they asked us few basic questions 10 mins overall.
    -> Oct 04: Documents Printing status changed to Processed.
    -> Oct 05: Dispatched from MEA
     -> Oct 05 : Documents received at New York CGI
     -> Oct 06 : Card dispatched to our home.
     -> Oct 07 : Received card.
          Used OCI website to track all the updates, Hope this info is helpful; If you have any questions let me know
