Anyone else having better luck off late recently from SFO?

hi.. from the above timelines, I think it takes about 1 month from VFS delivering documents to the embassy to printing card status. Do any of you is of non-Indian origin applying on the basis of an Indian origin spouse? Not sure if this timeline is longer for me. Thanks so much.

Unfortunately, no movement on mine yet, still waiting for SFO consulate to receive it though it was dispatched from MEA on 3/16. Not sure if these are some bulk processing or individual updates.

But My son's application haven't moved and still shows "Under Process"

[chinniqueen]

Ya, I am extremely frustrated at how slow the whole process has moved. It has been very slow with over 60 days already past.

[Shra16]

Thanks, yes the same issue for me - my application was dispatched from MEA on March 16th too, not sure why the delivery to SF is taking more than a week, hope that it changes to the next step soon!

[chinniqueen]

Nothing yet for mine. Dispatched from MEA on 3/16 and still waiting for next update to be received at SFO. In our other family members OCI, it didn't take this long and was received in just a couple of days.

[Shra16]

Thank you all for the updates, any movement in the application after being dispatched from MEA(OCI) for the application to be received at SFO?
