OCI Misc (Gratis) Processing beyond 110 days
Hi Folks,
​​​​​​Namaste

I'm 62 years of age. I applied for OCI MISC (gratis) update due to issue of new passport.

This is my 3rd OCI card update in 6 years. The first OCI card was processed in 3 business days, actual card (new) was received at the Embassy of India on the 5th working day; the 2nd card (again new card) was received in less than 20 business days; this one the 3rd OCI card application is for update of passport is taking longer to process.

Date applied: October 22, 2021
Application acknowledged: January 4, 2022
Status as of today (February 9, 2022) "Your application has been acknowledged by competent authorities. It is under consideration."

Sent a message via Madad App. No actual response. Madad App team marked my grevience as "Work in Progress". No further update.

Waiting patiently: 111 days

Question: Anyone experienced such a delay? Please comment.

Will update accordingly.
Kind regards
OCIwala

Traveling to India with a pending OCI
Hi,

Does someone has any experience on traveling to India on a tourist e-visa with a pending OCI Card? We want to apply OCI for our newborn but also want to be in India for Holi in Mid-March, so if the OCI doesn't arrives, can we travel on tourist e-visa?

OCI Card application under-process for more than 11 weeks in New York
I applied for OCI card in Nov'2021 and got an acknowledgement on 17th Nov. Since then, it's pending with "UNDER-PROCESS" for more than 11 weeks now. Sent many PRAMIT queries and received email responses with standard template "Process will take 4 to 5 weeks from the date of acknowledgement". Tagged @meaMADAD in Twitter for help and sent emails to cons.newyork, but haven't received even a single response. Any idea what might be taking so long? My wife and kids received the card in just 4 weeks

OCI holders and Aadhar
I am US Citizen with OCI. My father recently passed away in Tamilnadu and to get a Legal Heir Certificate, TN needs Aadhar for the Legal Heir application. OCI holders can get Aadhar only if they stay 182 days in India. Anyone had similar experiences and if so, how you have resolved this issue. Thank you.

OCI Card Collection in India
Is it possible to apply for the OCI card for a newborn in the US and collect it in India (while on a tourist visa) ? We wish to travel as soon as possible instead of waiting for 40 or so days.
