OCI application process
Hi, all,
I was pleasantly surprised by the OCI process at CKGS, which completed in about 53 days. See progress status below. Here is a summary of my experience. I had submitted the application last year on October 23, and I had missed one document, which they told me submit by Nov 7th, which I did. Because of some internal confusion in their handling of my application, I was notified on December 27th that my application deadline had expired and that I needed to apply again pay the application fee once more. I was furious -- they had delayed the process and now they wanted me to pay again. In any case, my travel was imminent and I did not file again last year. I also got my application fee refunded by complaining to my credit card company.
This year I applied again on October 7th. I was sure to meticulously follow their document list and submitted everything in the exact order in which they require the documents. I am glad to say I received my OCI card today. This time, their status emails kept me informed throughout the application evaluation process. Perhaps they have finally streamlined their processes after the numerous complaints by man y people filed against CKGS last year for their extremely poor administrative processes.
