1) Obtain birth certificate and SSN
2) depending on the state, obtain an appointment in the usps for passport application submission
3) receive passport and apply got e visa or OCI
4) e visa is quicker and OCI takes time

Also if you are staying for less than 6 months you can get away with e visa. However OCI is really convenient from a long term perspective.

It took us 4 weeks to get the passport from when we submitted the application. I would go with e visa for now, OCI may take much longer

4-6 weeks for the passport. 8 weeks for OCI.

Thanks everyone! Very helpful indeed

you spply ssn at time of birth.you should get it within 3weeks usually dent to your address. birth certificate you can get immediately after birth . then you apply for us passport . That could take 4-6 weeks in expedite mode or 1-2 days on emergency mode . for emergency you need appointment at passport agency which is hard to get. once you get your us passport you apply for oci card which takes another 3-4 weeks.

may try to offer lower than what was
