OCI Application - Outside Jurisdiction (Yes, you can)
Just a quick note as there seems to be a lot of confusion on whether you can apply to a center outside your jurisdiction. From October 2019, one CAN apply to any center outside your jurisdiction per the memo below:

My friends from Los Angeles and San Diego have successfully applied to the NY CGI and had no issues (they got their OCI in 2 weeks which is much faster than the 60 days at SF). I too just applied to the NY CGI for my OCI (I live in Los Angeles) and the documents have been verified and the GOI is now working on the OCI card. The only issue with this route is that you will NOT be able to purchase return shipping from CKGS. You thus have to include prepaid UPS envelopes (2 in number) with your package. CKGS will NOT accept FedEx or USPS per their directives. They allow DHL also, but the safest, IMO, is UPS.

Hope this helps.
