OCI Dispatched on Dec 28, still no update
Hi,
Firstly thanks to all of you for the experiences shared and the valuable inputs.
I applied for my son's OCI on Nov 29 2016 and tracked the status on the government website that it was dispatched from Delhi on Dec 28 2016.
Based on that I got the tickets for my family to fly from Chicago on 7th Feb. However till now I have not seen the update change and no status for the OCI card to be received in Chicago.
I have called Cox and Kings multiple times and according to them if the embassy did not receive the OCI card they would not be able to track it. Once it is received at the embassy, then only they can give me a timeline.
I am worried that I would not be receiving the OCI card before 7 Feb - the travel date.
I would want request the experienced members for their inputs as to what I should do.
1. I cannot opt for an eTV since my family would be staying for 2 months. Is it an option to apply for an eTV and then when I receive the OCI I send it across to my family in India. Would the immigration in India have issues with this?
2. Should I take an appointment at the consulate and apply for an entry visa for 6 months? What is the timeline to get an Entry Visa.
3. Should I wait few more days to check the status - I do not want to be too late?
Thanks for all your help!
