Feb 28 2023 - Fedex Delivered OCI. OCI in hand.

It took 2 months of Processing in this case, even though there were no documents we had to resend for correction.

My OCI application has been rejected by HCI staff on the ground that "OCI CAN BE ISSUED ONLY IF GRANDPARENTS / PARENTS WERE BORN AFTER 1950".
Has anybody encountered rejection of an OCI application on such grounds?
I believe, after an extensive research on the subject, I don't think I have come across such a criteria.
I would appreciate comments on this subject.

My 7 yr daughter got new passport and submitted online to update OCI card with new passport details under gratis service. They acknowledged my application on Dec 16th and still it says "has been received and it is under consideration". More than 4 weeks now and we have already booked trip to India on 1st week of Feb. Tried Contacting indian consulate office at Chicago but no one is answering my call. What should we do if we didn't receive acknowledgement email? How long will it take to update this info in their system? I have searched and may have to apply for evisa option for 30 days as backup, if do then how early do we have to apply? Do they ask from what is the date of travel and give 30 days visa from that date of flying?

Any experiences/suggestions really appreciate it.
