OCI Experience at Chicago Consulate
I submitted my application on 4/20 and fedex delivered it to CKGS on 4/22/2015. The timeline since then, started getting notifications from CKGS:

After this, I got an email from CKGS for match up on 06/22/2015. I fedexed the passport on the same day and it was delivered on the morning of 06/23/2015 at 10:30 am.

Like many others, I had roller coaster moments because, I had a family emergency so we booked our tickets for July 6 and was worried whether I would be getting the documents before our travel. I had mailed and called CKGS after receiving the matchup mail explaining my situation and they said there is no way to expedite my application and the matchup would take 2 weeks, but to my surprise the matchup took just 1 week. So, the entire process took me a little more than 2 months. I hope this helps.
