OCI in lieu of PIO - Houston - seems to be taking longer than usual
I applied for 2 minors to convert their PIO cards to OCI in the Houston consulate jurisdiction. Timeline so far:
Applications sent via Fedex: Feb 24th
Received at CKGS (via Fedex tracking): Feb 25th
CKGS acknowledged receipt: Mar 1st
Sent and being processed at Houston consulate: Mar 3rd
Date of Acknowledgement (tracked on http://passport.gov.in/oci/statusEnqury): Apr 1st
From date of mailing to date of acknowledgement has been about 5 weeks! I was looking at people's post of their experiences, and I did not see anyone having taken more than ~2 weeks or so for acknowledgement.
Houston consulate website now also says: "Currently due to technical reasons beyond the control of the Consulate, there is a delay in acknowledgement of the applications, and the normal processing time is 75-80 days for an OCI application." (see http://www.cgihouston.org/page/display/28/19)
Seems like the process has gone from 45-50 to 75-80 days (for Houston). Unfortunate.
Anyone else have similar experience/timelines for recently applied OCIs at Houston?
