OCI Washington DC
Just want to know how much time it will take to issue OCI at DC center. Seems DC is the slowest one/

I have submitted the documents on 9th March and current status is " Under Process at Embassy". I have to travel my May end so not sure whether I will get OCI.

So can I wait for OCI or should I apply short term visa.

sfo new minor oci card
Hello all,
my baby will travel to india in mar 4th week. On gov site, i saw that the card has reached the consulate on mar 5th. but ckgs app has updated on mar 6th that the card has been dispatched and it will take 1-2 weeks to arrive sfo. i called ckgs team and they informed that gov site’s message may not be correct and suggested me to raise visa on a safer side. my baby will stay in india for more than 60 days. so, e visa is not an option for me, unless i make a short trip to any closest country and enter with oci card. please let me know if anyone has any idea about whether i can get the card within the time frame.

jan 3 - ack date
mea processed - feb 26
dispatched from delhi - feb 27

New OCI Adult
Applied for OCI on 15h of Feb

Feb 16th: Received by CKGS, not verified 12:20 PM
Feb 16th: Application Verification is Complete 7:20 PM
Feb 19th: Application is ‘Under Process’ at CKGS. Application is 'MANIFESTATION'
 at 4:01 PM

What does Manifestation mean? Additionally, should it be processing this long at CKGS? I thought it would have transited for further processing at the Consulate. Office is in San Francisco, CA.
