OCI - Foreign Spouse - New York / NYC
Giving my experience for obtaining Foreign Spouse OCI in New York City. I am an American man married to an Indian woman. As the spouse, I thought it would be easier for me to handle all paperwork beginning to end and get familiar with OCI limitations/restrictions. Please feel free to ask any questions.
Oct 21, 2021 - In-person VFS Appointment
Oct 26, 2021 - Date of Acknowledgment
Dec 20, 2021 - Contacted by Email for Spousal Interview (this interview is required for ALL foreign spouse OCI)
Jan 13, 2022 - In-person Interview at NYC Consulate
Feb 03, 2022 - Documents Printing Status (Processed)
Feb 08, 2022 - Received OCI
**Note: I did NOT mail in my application. I paid for the in-person VFS appointment where they reviewed my entire application to make sure I have all needed documents and all documents completed correctly. This service was great because if you mail in your application and forget something it will drastically delay your OCI process. The in-person VFS appointment has a service charge of $15. Also, I did NOT want to sort out the prepaid postage, tracking labels, and all of those things so I paid for the VFS courier service so they would take care of everything. The service has a charge of $30.

Sharing my experience applying for a New OCI as an adult, San Francisco consulate.
VFS - Received application - 12/22/2021
VFS - Sent to Embassy - 12/23/2021
Acknowledged - 12/24/2021

Received OCI card - 2/22/2022
VFS does not update the status after it goes to the embassy for review so please check status on https://ociservices.gov.in/ and selecting 'oci-inquiry'. Overall mine took about 2 months so slower than some of the others around here but process was smooth.
