VFS Global: OCI Return Label
Never had this in CKGS, during the initial payment itself, they charge are all the labels and they generate it when OCI is ready.
Sending in return courier label when OCI is ready is a BS process.

How are you guys sending the return label to VFS global, one more courier to them or you could just email it to them ?

New OCI - Photograph question
Hello, The GoI website states photograph should be on a light (not white) background. And the VFS checklist mentions photos should be in white background only. If you got OCI via VFS; can you pls share what background should we use for the photos.

Online applications are only accepted if filled out in the current year.
What is meant by VFS OCI renewal application instructions that state the following "Online applications are only accepted if filled out in the current year." I just filled it out online on 23rd December and am waiting for Courier shipping labels to show up to ship to VFS in Chicago.

I just want to make sure it doesn't mean that VFS needs to process the application in the current year as this would be impossible with only a few days left this year. I just want to be careful as there are so many issues people are having with VFS and applying for OCI Cards.

Thanks in advance

Return label confusion for OCI?
Hi - Please help!!

Do I need to send two return labels (One for returning passport & one for OCI) along with my application? or just one return label for passport assuming that VFS will take care of shipping OCI.
