Disappointing experience
My wife applied for OCI card in Sept 2017. The application was received on Sept 14, 2017. The passport was sent back on Sept 18, 2017. Since then no updates. We have been calling and emailing CKGS, Chicago consulate but no response, "just keep checking." We have our India trip planned in early part of Feb 2018. I am extremely disappointed as it is more than 4 months. They should stop false advertisement on their website saying 60 days for the whole process.
Now, my wife is applying for the Indian visa just in case, as I have lost faith. I thought things changed with the Modi govt but I guess I was wrong.

CKGS Newyork New OCI
Hi,

I have submitted my OCI on Jan 12th and the status still shows Under Process.

The CKGS has not taken my childs US passport while applying for OCI, they said they didnt need passport . I am a little worried as I see on forums that everyone's passport is being sent to Consulate for verification. Did anyone has similar experience?

Thanks,
Sidhu

OCI in lieu of PIO
The govt site status as follows:
Date Of Acknowledgment 03-JAN-2018
Registration Status at Mission NEW YORK CGI
OCI- Number A YYYY XX
Documents Printing Status PROCESSED On 17-JAN-2018
Dispatched From MEA (OCI ) NEW DELHI On 17-JAN-2018
Document received At NEW YORK CGI On 17-JAN-2018

Until now the CKGS site says it is under processing. Its almost a week since my documents arrived in NYC. Do they take so long to update the status and dispatch the card?
Have send them 2 emails and was told to wait as they will update soon.

I am leaving next Tues. Tentatively going to apply for E Visa just in case. Friday is also a holiday.
