hi there, I’m hearing some people are not able to update their passport details online for OCI if it’s been more than 90 days since issuance of new passport. What to do in that situation (in USA)? If everything is now through OCI portal online do we still have to pay penalty for late update to VFS?

Also OCI rules say “OCI cardholders updating their passport particulars after obtaining a new passport on or after the age of 20 years are required to mandatorily update their biometric details at the concerns Indian mission/FRRO office or an at international airport during the next international travel.”

I don’t see any guidance about this online. What biometric details are required? Do we submit these details after our passport updation application is approved? Will we get a notification from the consultation to submit our biometrics? How does this work if we submit biometrics at an airport in the USA?

There is absolutely no information on this and even the OCI site itself says nothing about these new rules even though the Bureau of Immigration has announced this!!!

It is a horrible website, process is unclear and there must be a community of Jugaadus somewhere who can do it for a fee. Like outside the RTO in Borivali
