This forum helped me estimate and understand how long OCI Minor at NY Center takes and I wanted to share my experience here.
The application was processed in total 21 days (One day is consulate holiday) for the process. This is an automate jobs that runs on every day except holiday. For the holidays list you can visit Consulate website.
The most important thing I wanted to share, I see people wondering about the status on Govt. of India website and wanted to tell you guys, you can still get the status from NY consulate by posting your query to the consulate with Pramit Helpline and the link is below.
