Yes, it's okay for you to complete your US trip. You can't go to VFS to submit your British passport till the OCI status says received at HCI in the UK. There is no set date within which you have to go so you'll be fine.

Application Date : 11/05/2016
Postal / In-person: In-person
VFS office: VFS Paddington, London
HCI issued surrender certificate : 13/05/2016
VFS Email : 16/05/2016
Online Status (processed): 16/05/2016
Received Surrender certificate:17/05/2016

Impressed with the quick turnaround.

No need to carry babies. Just applied for my 1 month old son's OCI yesterday and we didn't take him. Just take his thumb prints on the form at home.

See the following at HCI London website : "Due to some recent developments, new full validity passports in respect of the applications received at HCI, London are now printed in India. As such, the time frame for passport services is normally between 4-6 weeks from the date of submission of applicat...

Yes he did. See http://www.immigrationboards.com/other- ... l#p1004742

Ok, thanks @vkjainuk. Visited HCI in the morning and went to Counter #7. They initially said that the passport will be sent by post because I had provided the special delivery envelope. However, when I pointed out that the passport was received from India approx. a week ago and had still not been po...

Called on the number given, but the person said that this is not postal dept and gave other number. When I called the aother number, it was within one of the counters (as I can hear it ringing) I have taken token for counter 7 for enquiry.... do you suggest anything else. Did you get your passport ...

Thanks for the update. What is the new lead time for passport delivery? Still 5 weeks?

Can confirm that the standard lead time is indeed 5 weeks now. Had gone earlier today but didn't submit as need to travel urgently in the next couple of weeks. As usual they haven't updated this anywhere on the website and cause so much of inconvenience!

Yes....
