Hi Anil,

Can you please some information about your son PIO application like

When did you submitted PIO application at Washington DC and when did you received back date of PIO card?

Reason i am asking is i have applied for my son on July 25th and it was under processed with Embassy of India, Washington DC on July 26th 2014 post that there is no update.

So want to know how long does it take at Washington DC embassy to process PIO application.
