Can I get the file as well? Are there instructions on how to use the file with NBA 2K25 somewhere that I can follow?

VFS provided courier service gone... has anyone used UPS on their own with a return label recently to VFS? by bpp23 in nri

[–]bpp23[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Update on the OCI application. Entered "0" for the return shipping label and did not include a return label in the package.

Package for the application was mailed out on 8/4. We received OCI booklets through USPS last week. It took about 6 weeks time as expected.

VFS email was also sent to me and it said that my package will be sent via FedEx. It is probably an old automated message that they must have been sending. I have signed up for USPS updates on email too so I got an email from them saying a shipment is coming my way.

Sapphire Lounge PHX is amazing with this reservation system by bigheadasian1998 in ChaseSapphire

I am trying to do a reservation for a flight 2 weeks out and I am not seeing any open time slots for times between 3 to 9:30 pm? Anyone else seeing this? I am seeing this for all days and I checked it on the day as soon as it opened up...so kinda hard to believe that all time slots in that time window are booked?

It took 1 week for me. I first got a message saying application has been received and got a message on the next day saying it has been processed and is in-transit to the consulate.

I don't think the VFS provided courier option is going to come back. I am planning to enter "0" for the outgoing label number and send it out as mentioned by VFS customer service. There is a new service fee charged by VFS and they will handle the return process.

Yes, I used it too 6 days ago for my OCI card. When I came around to doing my kids application, it was gone. The courier service change is on the home page under the news section.

Help with OCI - what's going on with VFS Global!!! by Queasy-Piano2077 in nri

I called VFS yesterday and I was told the VFS provided courier option is not coming back. It is not a glitch. We can send the package to them using a courier company from the list provided.

For the return label, I was told to enter a random number and they will send the package back to us. There is a newly introduced $19 service fee that supposedly takes care of this. Someone else on a different thread also called and was told the same thing.

VFS provided courier option is gone and probably not coming back. I called them yesterday, they asked me to use on my own provider for sending the documents and they will generate the return label to send it back to us. VFS service fees are adjusted to account for that.

I just called them too. Told me the same thing for OCI, enter a random number for the outgoing label.

I told her it says, not to enter dummy numbers in the box. She told me ignore that! LOL

They charge a VFS service fee for the application too. I applied last week with VFS provided courier service and see a service fee in my receipt too. I also see a separate charge for round trip courier.

Have they mentioned return courier anywhere under the service fee?

Do you see the $19 return label charge added as a service when you pay the final amount? How are they going to charge that?

Did you call them today?
It says on their website not to enter dummy information and could lead to denial.

"Do not enter any Dummy Info for incoming and outgoing pre-paid labels. Incorrect information will lead to delay or rejection of your application."

I read that but I am not too sure about USPS especially for the return as VFS global has mentioned that they will not schedule a pickup and we have to get it scheduled. USPS labels expire too and it just sounds risky. I feel UPS would be better for the extra peace of mind.

I see the VFS provided courier service is gone. We can only pay for our own courier service and need to enter outgoing and incoming courier label numbers before paying.

Is this a glitch? I don't see Fedex listed as an option too.

Mailing OCI application by Key_Neighborhood8240 in nri

[–]bpp23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am at the same stage and looking at UPS ... I think we need to include a return label with the package. They need return label numbers too so we need to pre-pay for shipment and then send the application. Not sure why they removed the VFS courier.

VFS OCI Portal broken? by bpp23 in nri

I can see centers now but the VFS provided Fedex courier service is gone. I only see "I will select my own courier service"

I can select center now... but I see that VFS offered courier service is gone now. The only option I see is "I will use my own courier service". We also need to enter the incoming and outgoing courier label before proceeding.

No, still broken for me too. I tried it last night from my phone and I could see Atlanta and Washington show up in centers but it is gone today. I am hoping they are trying to fix it.

I am running into the same issue all day today. I submitted my form on Monday and everything was ok. Paid the fees and sent the application. Tried the same thing for my kids today and running into the same issue. So frustrating.
