New OCI (Minor) - NY CGI Timeline
My experience (new OCI for my kid) below. Total time from mailing application to OCI in hand was ~ 5 weeks. Hope this helps others!

01-MAY-2021: Application sent via Fedex (Saturday)
03-MAY-2021: Fedex tracking shows delivery (Monday)
05-MAY-2021: VFS - "We have ‘Received’ your Application..." "... now ‘Under Process’ at New York and will be submitted to the Mission for decision making"
06-MAY-2021: VFS - "Your Application has been ‘Processed’..." "...currently is ‘In-Transit‘ to the Embassy of India/Consulate General of India for decision making"
07-MAY-2021: "Date of Acknowledgement" in OCI Govt website
01-JUN-2021: "Processed", "Dispatched from MEA New Delhi" and "Document received at NY CGI" in OCI Govt website
07-JUN-2021: Fedex shipment notification; VFS - "Your Application has been reviewed by the Embassy of India / CGI & will be dispatched..."
08-JUN-2021: OCI delivered by Fedex

Looks like OCI processing times have improved recently. Beginning mid-April, we do not need to send original US passport, and that's cut 2-3 weeks that VFS usually takes to review and return the passport.
