OCI Via VFS

Post by jacsll55 » Tue Feb 24, 2015 12:42 pm

HCI website states that OCI applications will not be accepted from 1st March 2015, So what are your thoughts about me applying for my Kids? Do it now before 1st March?

what difference does it make for you.
OCI is OCI, whether you get it from HCI or VFS.

I think they are passing the workload to VFS. simple is that.

First ignore the above comment as a senior member should not answer in that manner!

There is a very limited window for you to opt for applying before 1st march.

And most importantly you may not appreciate to be caught between the two entities while they are transferring the processes. I have no doubt about service delivery from HCI/consulates and VFS. There will be learning curves for both the entities and the experience will be at the expense of applicants, until the transition is complete successfully.

Also with outsource services there will be costs associated and will be borne by applicants, but offcourse.
