New OCI card (SFO) not received since Mar-03rd
This is regarding the new OCI card that I applied for my child in the SFO center.
CKGS received my application on Mar-03, but still I haven't received the OCI card.

Mar 03, 2020 - Tuesday
02:43 pmApplication ‘Received’ by CKGS and 'Not Verified'.

Current status -
"In Transit of new OCI card to CKGS from consulate" - This is still greyed out.

Kindly advice if anyone else is also facing the same issue and if there is a way to contact CKGS customer service?
Any idea when the processing will resume ?

Regards

OCI re-issue due to new US passport + hitting 50 years old + address changed from exiting OCI
I am in process of submitting application for OCI renewal. I have following questions:

- My original OCI is issued in Sanfrancisco as I was living in bay area at that time. Now I live in Missouri. So I am assuming I need to select "change of address" option as well while applying for OCI renewal.
Q1. As part of change of address you need to provide Occupation and Employer Address. I am software engineer but there is not occupation in the list for that so selected "PROFESSIONAL". I tried to select "OTHER" then tried entering "Software Engineer" but it does not fit in the space provided. My question is is it necessary provide employer information
Q2. In the List of document to be uploaded there is one document "Employment/Work Letter". Is it required to upload this document ? Can I upload Offer letter in place of Employment letter
Q3. Web Reference number is already generated , but I need to do some corrections to application. Can I fill fresh application and generate new "Web Reference Number" ?

I am still awaiting delivery of the OCI. Does anyone know how much time the Consulate in SF takes to dispatch the OCI to the recipient, especially now that its been open for about 2 week. Anyone having a similar timeline ?

OCI apply
CKGS customer service is down. I would want to apply for OCI.

When i started filling the OCI form, its so confusing that it does not allow Fedex saying out of jurisdiction will not be allowed while I never selected any Jurisdiction.

I live in Charlotte NC and I believe there is no restriction for OCI in terms of jurisdiction. Can i apply in Atlant ? Any one please help me.
