Washington DC OCI Process
GIVE THE OCI PROCESS 5 MOTNHS AT LEAST!!!
We started the OCI process September 25th with the online forms. We Submitted all paperwork October 7th to the CKGS office in person. (at this time i asked them will we receive our OCI cards before December 17th and they assured me I would have it by then and gave me an expected 6 week processing time) The Documents did not leave for India until October 27th. Our OCI cards were approved on December 30th. Later we received another e-mail saying they were being dispatched from India on January 10th. Then we received the Call for Passport Matchup on January 20th. I submitted our Documents (by fed-ex) on Feb 1st. We are still waiting to receive our Passports and OCI cards back.
This entire process is very frustrating and CKGS is a horrible agency! Their customer service is extremely rude and they are clueless. They should have never changed from the old company.
We have had to change our travel plans three times, and were told we can come pick up our passports but we will need to apply for another visa if we would want to travel to India.
If you are applying for this process GIVE IT 6 MONTHS TO BE ON THE SAFE SIDE!!!!! ESP AT THE WASHINGTON DC OFFICE. I have heard other offices are much faster but Washington DC is extremely slow!
Please note: We were never asked for extra paperwork or told that any of the documents we submitted were incorrect. Every time I would call for a status update they would tell me I just needed to wait since there was a long backlog. They were very misleading and overall a horrible experience.
