I need all your advice. I applied for my kid's OCI walk in on OCT 18. Currently no ACK on OCI Tracker but 'PROCESSING' per BLS site. My travel date is Dec 15. Question is: if I apply for entry visa now, and assuming they retain the original passport of my child and assuming it takes 45 days from today, i am afraid that even I get OCI in hand before Dec 15, if my entry visa is still under process and CGI has my kid's passport, i will not be able to travel. So given all this, should i go for ENTRY visa or not. If I do, then I am afraid that my kid's passport will not be with me, and If I do not, i will feel guilty all day every day until Dec 15.
