Getting OCI-card and visa at the Indian Consulate in San Francisco

[vivek_sanker]

Hello,

I would like to get your recommendations and suggestions on getting the OCI-card and on getting the OCI-Visa stamped in my daughter's passport. My daughter's application for the OCI-card has been approved and the documents have been received in the Indian Consulate in San Francisco. We live in Bakersfield. In my apartment, the mail boxes are not dependable, and hence I feel that it would be risky to receive the stamped-passport in mail. So, I am planning to go to the San Francisco consulate in person to get the OCI-card and the passport stamped.

I did not find information at the Consulate-site that the OCI-card can be obtained in person. I could get anyone at the Consulate on telephone. I am worried whether my trip from Bakersfield to San Francisco will be futile, if the card can not be obtained in person.

If any of you have exprience in getting the OCI-card in person at the Consulate, please give me an E-mail-reply with your suggestions and recommendations. .

Thanks,
Vivek

Thanks for the information. I am still wondering as to whether it would be possible to get the card in person, because the Web-site of the San Francisco Consulate states that there is no option for personal pick-up, and asks us to send the passport by mail. I would like to know as to whether anybody has got the card in person at the San Francisco Consulte. I know that that the Indian Embassy in New York would provide the card in person, but I am interested in the practice at the Indian Consulate in San Francisco.

Thanks,
Vivek
