OCI Card
Fields marked as * are required.
Foreign Spouse OCI --> NY
Today I am posting OCI card process for Foreign Spouse, hope its helpful for people out there.
->First of all got the documents ready as described on the website. Looked pretty straightforward , you have examples on how to do all the documents readily available.
->Only thing that we had to actually work on was getting our marriage certificate Apostille. For any one doing this in future , you can get this done by your state Apostle service, [since we are in PA we got this done in Harrisburgh due to pandemic the mail service is backed up, so went in person]. Also the marriage certificate you're supposed to Apostille is certificate issued for immigration purpose[make this distinction at the registrar that issues this marriage certificate or else you will have to go back and get it done like we did].
-> July 17 : We completed the application online and did the payment;
-> July 24 : We submitted the documents in person in Harrisburgh[Consulate General of India had a consular camp].
-> July 28: Date of Acknowledgement
-> Sept 24: We had our interview at Consulate General office in New York [They did schedule it prior and where super helpful during this process, we did face some
issues but all in all everything well]. During the interview they asked us few basic questions 10 mins overall.
-> Oct 04: Documents Printing status changed to Processed.
-> Oct 05: Dispatched from MEA
-> Oct 05 : Documents received at New York CGI
-> Oct 06 : Card dispatched to our home.
-> Oct 07 : Received card.
Used OCI website to track all the updates, Hope this info is helpful; If you have any questions let me know

New OCI French Consulate - SLOW
7th of July 2021 - Submitted Application in person
6th of October 2021 - No news whatsoever
The French consulate is very slow, my renunciation took 2 years, where the people working there acted like gundas.
Can anyone let me know if 3 months of waiting for my OCI is normal? On the site it says under process... and it annoys me because I see other individuals getting their OCI within a month tops...

Consent Letter for OCI?
Hello everyone,
I have applied for OCI card just recently, and I was helping out a friend fill his out. Now when I got to the checklist for OCI for Adult Naturalized, I saw in the checklist that they need consent letter. Have anyone filled this out? I thought consent letter was only for minors but they added this to the checklist for New OCI Adult Naturalized category. Any input and how to write one?
