How much time do I have to respond to OCI Match-up email?
Hi,
I have applied for OCI for my daughter but looks like it won't arrive by the time we need to travel. So I am planning to get Visa for her and travel with that. Since OCI match-up will come while we are in India, I am wondering how low would I have to send the passport after the match-up email arrives. We will be in India for two months. I am worried that they may send the OCI card back to India during this time which would cause unnecessary complications.
Anyone has any experiences in this regard?
Thanks!

OCI Card Processing and match up time
I got my OCI card in ~ 50 days. (just week before I was traveling to India).
OCI CKGS processing is highly irritating, inefficient and waste of hell lot of time. They ask same information thousand time on 1st CKGS website and same info in Govt Site... They do not have any control on the status. I was calling couple of times to CKGS; 1st of they take almost an hour to pick the phone and then they do not assist intelligently. such a big clumsy and convoluted process.
There so many redundant processing... like 1st of why notary is required .. why matchup is required... No body know why so many steps are made and why they required at all...
they take 1 week to verify the doc... then they send to Embassy .. so many back and forth...
They Must learn something from others..,
It took exactly 8 days (including weekend) to reach san Francisco from Delhi.
most of times CKGS does not have any control on the doc .. They even do not know where is my OCI card at the moment and they do not help at all with right & actual information. they speak like robot..
Luckily I called Embassy ( on OCI Ext @ 415-668-0662 ) directly and they helped me to dispatch my
OCI card on same day. They ask me to write an email to Erlina Valerio (Erlina Valerio <[email protected]> ) u can google her contact otherwise she is very sincere and responsive on emails.
But CKGS Must learn something from others...

Travel during OCI
Since it takes long time to get OCI. If you have to travel to India, can I take entry/visitor visa and travel while OCI is in progress. What happens if match-up comes up during travel?
Any experiences?

Hi I am a US citizen now, Indian origin. Could you help me for below questions?
I got an job offer in India, and need to move quicker than i thought.
1. Can I take a visitor visa, go to India, and apply for OCI in India (thru FRRO)? I see applying OCI for kids in forums, is it possible for Adults with visitor visa?
2. It takes 3 months here in USA to get OCI, is there any quicker way to get it, like expedite process or walk-in?
Thanks,

Did anyone receive OCI cad without matchup for minor
Hi ,
did any one had such experience.
I had applied for OCI card for my daughter( 6 months old) on Oct 21( Date of Acknowledgement)
Document Printed(Processed) Dec 2nd)
Dispatched from MOIA( New Delhi) Dec 5th
Document received at Washington DC ( no Date yet)
But i received a email on Friday that the OCI and Passport is dispatched to me
Subject: OCI - Shipment of OCI Card and Passport by FedEx
Your application with your Passport and OCI Card has 'Returned' to the CKGS application Centre and is being 'Sorted' and will be ready for shipment through FedEx.
Also got another email with the FedEx tracking number.
Is this common? do ckgs send us the OCI and then we get a matchup Email and we have to send both the OCI card and the US Passport?
Or is this a mistake from CKGS side.
CKGS customer care told me to call once I receive the OCi card. they do not have any more infom other than what we see on the status page :(
Did any one had any similar experience?
Please share your thoughts if you had any similar experience.
