SFO OCI processing time update

Is the lockdown in Delhi causing a slowdown for OCI applications? I'm applying on the basis of my mother. VFS process proceeded fine.
But my Date of Acknowledgment was April 2, 2021 and it is still under process.

It takes 4-6 weeks from ack date to process at Consulate.

It takes 4-6 weeks from ack date to process at Consulate.

Does anyone know if that timeframe is longer due to the lockdowns in Delhi?

From some fb forum that I follow, OCI cards have been printed in last week of April when lockdown was there.

Good - below is my timeline, it took me 3 full months from submitting the application to being acknowledged in the OCI Government website. We even had a video interview with the consulate here in Houston. I guess my case is taking longer because I am a spouse of foreign origin - but I hope to get the OCI in that 4-6 week timeline that people here have posted.

It felt like the video interview was like a go/nogo from the Indian consulate here before they passed on our application to the Indian Government to process my case. Hope we don't get notified of any new requirements from here. Fingers crossed!

Here is my updated timeline (new adult OCI),

1. Application mailed: 04/21/21
2. Received at VFS: 04/22/21
3. "Under process" at VFS: 04/22/21
4. "In-transit" to consulate: 04/23/21
5: Date of Acknowledgment: 04/27/21
6. Document printed: 06/07/21
7. Dispatched from New Delhi: 06/08/21
8. Received at consulate: 06/15/21
9. Dispatched from VFS: 06/15/21
10. OCI received in hand: 06/16/21

So, it has taken exactly eight weeks from the date I had mailed the application to get the OCI in hand. Not bad.
