Newborn OCI SFO (almost 10 weeks)
Overall, took about 10 weeks. Couple frustrating aspects. They were very particular about photo. It took 3 weeks for the card to get to SF after it was mailed from Delhi.

Timeline:
(CKGS)
Feb 14: Received by CKGS via mail
Feb 17: Incomplete documents because photo is not valid
Feb 22: New photo accepted. Application is in process
Feb 23: Application under process at consulate for decision making
Feb 24: Passport shipped back by Fedex. received next day

(Govt of India website)
Date Of Acknowledgment 07-MAR-2017
Documents Printing Status PROCESSED On 07-APR-2017
Dispatched From MEA (OCI ) NEW DELHI On 10-APR-2017
Document received At SAN FRANCISCO On 27-APR-2017

(CKGS)
May 1: OCI received from consulate and shipped via fedex
May 2: Received OCI card today

Looks like SF consulate is really slow. I dont know what arcane shipping these guys are using. Took about 10 days for application to reach Delhi and 17 days for the approved card to be received by SF consulate :|

OCI Update - Washington DC
Just share my experience on our OCI application at Wahignton DC. Processing time at DC is slow compared to other embassy locations. (Application send Feb 15th - OCI received April 28th). One good thing is we do not need to send the passport for that painful MATCH UP process.

April 28th - OCI Received

OCI card application at Gov of India website
I am not sure if I made a mistake. I completed the initial application at CKGS website and then proceeded onto completing application at Gov. of India website. Not knowing all the details, I had some missteps and thus did not keep track of temporary ID provided by gov of India website. How do I link 2 applications between CKGS and India?

Thank you

OCI + Renunciation for Adult, NY
Pathetic experience so far. No update till now since April 24th. CKGS escalated twice since 24th. They even said a super will call me and no one called. Every time you call them, they give you the standard answer - Please wait for two business days. Suckers. $450 is outrageous for this level of service. Anyone with similar experience? P.S. Before you ask, I've sent my US passport along with my application :).

OCI in Lieu of PIO
Wondering if you need to the send the original US Passport in the 2nd step for OCI in lieu of PIO? The CKGS site checklist doesn't list US Passport, but has a foot note "Note : US Passport with 'U' Sticker. This is only applicable if you have the same." which is very confusing.

Thanks,
