OCI SFO
Applied for OCI (Indian born) via VFS and SF CGI.

March 16, 2023: Notice "Your Application has been ‘Processed’ at the VFS India Consular application Centre and currently is ‘In-Transit‘ to the Embassy of India/Consulate General of India for decision making."

I've been waiting since March 16 but it still shows processing.

I just checked https://ociservices.gov.in/statusEnqury and it says "POOR QUALITY OF PHOTOGRAPH-SEND FRESH PHOTOGRAPH IN PART-A OF DOWNLOADABLE FORM". It's probably been this way for months but I've been checking the VFS site and it says processing.

I called VFS and they wouldn't acknowledge the status on the Indian govt website and opened a 'ticket' saying everything looks good a their end. When I mentioned the status on the govt site saying its obvious I need to send photos and asked for the process, they just said to wait for the ticket to process.

For people waiting for a long time, please make sure to check the Indian govt site for your status.

I'd appreciate it if someone could chime in with the best way to send updated photos. Do I courier them to the SF CGI directly? Do I need to upload it to the digital application as well? What other documents should I send along with the photos? Thank you.
