Satisfied with SF CKGS Service.
Hello everyone!!!
Here is my experience applying for OCI for my baby girl @ CKGS SF and I would say I'm very happy and satisfied with the the way our application was handled both by CKGS and GOI.
I applied for the OCI in person on 11/30/2015 and received the OCI in hand today. that's like 51 calendar days (35 business days!!!!!)

I was very skeptical about the day we will receive the OCI as my travel dates were confirmed for 28th this month and I almost applied for tourist visa thinking I would not receive the OCI in time. Lucky me! got it well in time and happily packing now.
Here are the timelines for our application.

One thing to note, Don't wait for CKGS to email you that OCI is ready for matchup. Print the status from GOI once you see that the OCI has been received at US Mission and send the passport along with the status printed.
