<p>Did you know more than thousands of Indians residing in the US as a result of Indian emigration? Well, the Overseas Citizenship of India (OCI) status allows them to travel and return to India. However, the process of getting an OCI card is lengthy as is its timeline. An OCI application timeline generally includes the completing application form online, gathering all the mentioned documents, booking a biometric appointment with an Indian consulate, and then waiting for the process which typically takes 5-6 weeks. With this, applying for an OCI card and wondering about the application timeline in the US. If yes then here this blog is for you. It contains all the information related to it. So, let’s begin reading it.</p>
<h2>Things to Expect at an OCI Center</h2>
<p>At the OCI center, you can expect the following things during the OCI card application process:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Document Submission:</strong> After filling out the OCI application form online, you need to take a printout of the form and gather all the mentioned documents with their photocopies for physical submission at the VFS Global Application Center along with the OCI application fee. The following are the documents required during the process:</li>
<ul>
<li>Current citizenship proof</li>
<li>Proof of self, parents or grandparents</li>
<li>OCI application form</li>
<li>Recent photographs</li>
<li>Birth certificate</li>
</ul>
<li><strong>Biometrics:</strong> After the application submission along with the documents you need to schedule a biometric appointment at your nearest Indian embassy or consulate. Here your photograph and fingerprints are captured.</li>
<li><strong>Processing:</strong> The general <a href="https://visament.com/blog/processing-time-for-oci-application-usa">OCI processing time in USA</a> for new card applications is around 5–6 weeks. However, depending on individual circumstances and the consulate, the processing time may vary. The following can assist you in understanding the OCI application timeline and the essential steps included in the process:</li>
<ul>
<li>After sending the application to the Indian Consulates or Embassy the OCI card is sent from Delhi (India). Then the OCI process takes around 60 days.</li>
<li>Once the card is received by the consulate you need to send your original US passport to the VFS Global Center to resume the process. The consulate takes up to three days to match the passport.</li>
<li>After that around 7 days the consulate takes to identify the OCI card with the <a href="https://visament.com/blog/different-types-of-us-passports"><em><strong>US passport</strong></em></a>.</li>
<li>In last the VFS takes around three days to ship your US passport along with your OCI card to you.</li>
</ul>
</ul>
<p>Well, when it comes to processing the OCI card and the passport several factors come into play. It includes the number of business days and time taken by the courier company to deliver the passport for the process. With this, these are the following things that you can expect at the <em><strong><a href="https://visament.com/usa/indian-consulates-vfs-centers" target="_blank" rel="noopener">OCI Application Center</a></strong></em>. Moving ahead, let’s get an idea of the OCI application timeline in the US through some examples.</p>
