OCI Application Processing
It looks as if a lot of people who applied in Early NOV or Late OCT got there OCI cards processed on 2nd Dec. Seeing that multiple people sending applications from different consulates have reported this, is there a fixed day when cards are printed in batches?

Still I'm waiting for OCI card. As per check list, I sent one FedEx label and VFS used for sending US passport. Just now I spoke to VFS call center team member, looks like I have to send one more label to VFS for sending back OCI. Anyone encounter the same issue? Appreciate your response.

VFS DATA LEAK & LOST PAYMENT
Vfs sent me an email saying that I need to send them prepaid label. However I already included 15 dollar money order and also a prepaid label with envelope.

Then they accidentally sent me every applicants name with reference number!!! Huge breach
