OCI- Foreign spouse
Hi all,
My wife (Chinese national and US permanent resident) filed her OCI in August. We had our interview at the SF embassy last month. Its been almost three weeks without any update. Any one with similar timeline or insights?
Date of acknowledgement on OCI tracking website: Aug 28, 2024
Interview date: September 26, 2024
At the time of the interview, we were told it could take around 2-3 weeks to get the card.

OCI disconnect between OCI Govt Website and VFS
OCI Govt Website says: Printing Status - Processed, show an OCI number also. 09/20/24
No message from VFS - continues to say - being processed by consulate.
I have seen posts here where VFS sent a message the very next day followed by the actual card in 2 days.
Also, starting this year, the OCI cards were to be printed in SFO and not in India ...so the process should be even faster once Govt approves OCI card.

OCI - Question on JOINT DEC OF SUBSISTING OF MARRIAGE
Hi,
While submitting the documents, I am not sure if 'JOINT DECLARATION OF SUBSISTING OF MARRIAGE' this is required. I was Indian citizen and i have taken US citizenship and I have received renunciation already, I was not sure if this is required for spouse of prior Indian citizen only or I need to submit this too.
Thanks for your response.

Anyone on the same boat. OCI processed on June-20-2024 and no updates after that - WASHINGTON DC.

We had India tickets booked for June 10th. When we saw the Govt Website showing 'processed' on June 1st we were hopeful we will get our OCI in hand. But after waiting for the next 5 days the status never changed. On Jun 6th morning we decided to apply for EVISA as we were very close to the travel date and did not have clarity on OCI dispatch. Right after applying we received VFS notifications that OCI will be dispatched. We received OCI the next day in had. The EVISA processed the same day night. The Govt website still shows as processed only. No updates on the Dispatch after that. Anyways we now have both OCI and EVISA in hand. We will be using the OCI for entry. Money wasted on the 1 yr EVISA for 2 kids ($80). But no other option as it wasn't worth taking the risk.

Property Related question - No OCI
Hello All,
I am writing to you all to figure out my unique situation (situation is unique in my mind). I was born in India, came to the US and became a US citizen by naturalization. I have a property in India that i received through inheritance (joint property) that I would like to sell. I was told by someone that I wont be able to sell my share of property if I don't have an OCI or adhaar card. Is it absolutely necessary for me to take an OCI card to sell this property? Right now, I have an Indian tourist visa that I use to visit India. If there is anyone in this forum that have sold their property (legally) without having an OCI card or adhaar card, could you please let me know the process?
Thanking all of you in advance,
Aishwarya
