OCI application from India takes a long time
Posted: Sun Jul 17, 2016 4:58 pm
Hi all,
I lost my old OCI card while travelling and had to apply for a duplicate at the FRRO in Bangalore. The website gives the ETA as 42 days, but I have been waiting for more than 4 months now.
On visiting the FRRO office, they are saying it is stuck in the US (apparently they are verifying my records in the US)!
In any case, the FRRO officer suggested trying for a 'return-visa', since I have business travel coming up soon.
Has anyone applied for this return visa? Any links where I can find more information?
Thanks,
-kumar
