Just an update,

Went to apply for OCI, Reached around 8:45AM on Febryary 13, 2009, called by OCI at around 11:00AM , Two ladies were inside and both were very nice and took about 7 minutes as papers were complete and in order. However, had to wait for one more hour as they printed receipts for everyone, all at one time and out of CGI at 12:15.

Person who reached there at 4:30 AM or 8:45 or 10:00, all got free at one time and got down in same elevator.

Good job by CGI and there is no ceiling on application that they will accept 60 in a day as mentioned by someone.

Cheers!

Photo scanned next day? That is pretty quick. Earlier photo scanning itself used to take couple of weeks (probably scanned in India).

Do not know current timeline but used to be around 2 months.
