The average OCI card processing time is approximately 11 weeks from the date of submission. However, this can vary depending on the processing location, application category, and completeness of your documentation.

Several factors can affect processing times: (1) Processing location - different centers have varying workloads, (2) Application category - fresh applications vs. renewals, (3) Documentation completeness - missing or incorrect documents cause delays, (4) Peak seasons - holiday periods may see longer processing times.

While there is no official 'express' processing for OCI cards, you can minimize delays by ensuring all documents are complete and accurate. Ultimate Travel & Visa helps you prepare a perfect application to avoid any delays due to documentation issues.

You can track your OCI application status online through the official government portal using your application reference number. The status will show various stages including 'Application Received', 'Under Process', and 'Dispatched'.

Required documents typically include: Completed application form, Current passport, Proof of Indian origin, Current citizenship proof, Passport-sized photographs, and Self-attested copies of all documents.
