Good that they gave you this option and it must be such a relief. Unfortunately, it seems as usual different people get given different information.

@Maya123 I also got OCI card today around 9:30 AM. Saturday delivery did work afterall !!!

So VFS did send SMS message for dispatch of OCI plus Passport. This is good news !!!

I have some questions about this stage when Passport has been submitted and both OCI Card as well as Passport will be sent back to us. 1) VFS will send them back in the envelope we submitted or Consulate will do that? Consulate will do that 2) Any SMS will come or not that your OCI and Passport has...

Old Passport will be clipped on the cover plus a cancelled stamp inside. You can carry both new and old passports together for travelling if valid visa is affixed in Old Passport.
In past, I have used both Old and New passports together and no problem whatsoever in immigration, airports.

Not going to be anytime early next week. God knows why they want to make this process complicated with trips to the visa centre several tim...
