Of course +1 photo for in-person. How else can they extract $30.00 from you?
OCI process
- Thread starter blueshirt
- Start date
Don’t worry. They will be more than happy to print one for you, for a charge of course.
Check it, you may be able to re-upload the photo online even if the text part is locked from editing. That's what BLS does when they click a photo there to reach their revenue target.
Are you saying that i can print another copy of the digital copy that i already have? i mean i have to go back to the studio where i took the original photo, right?
if you have a digital copy of the photo, you can print in Shoppers Drug Mart or similar places. You will have to ensure its scaled to the right size.
Yes. That’s an option if your studio maintains old files. BLS does have a “photo” copier and they ended up taking a copy of the one photo I submitted.
thank you so much. So i have two options- 1) go back to the original studio and print one more photo copy 2) go with the one physical photo that i have (identical to the e-photo already embedded) and have BLS 'copy' that physical photo and now i have 3 identical photos with me. Is my understanding correct?
When exactly we should go to bls and request to change to pickup?
When status changes to “processed” or “Delivery to BLS for OCI stsmping”?

OMG 2 days...I feel so sorry for the people.
BLS center is big mess and fraud. they are purposely make you line up, I have been there 3 time early in the morning 5pm and corrected silly things like one point I mention Canada, and they said I can't use Canada as its not in my address seriously, and they ask my a month new born finger prints to be corrected as this child not even has proper skin tone and how come he will have prints, just common sense. they are all making money there, I even thought I have everything, but these people are so good at finding mistakes out of good application, that I have uploaded one extra documents and asked me extra money to correct it.
Thing is they make you suffer like anything and in the end they offer you paid service where you won't insist left no choice other then suck it up.
One point I went to Consulate General of India, Toronto, Canada l they have more then 70 people lined up and all done with in 1 hour of time frame can you believe there are only 4 people and finished in 1 hour and these BLS they allow only 10 people and 90 percent documents they reject and the time they spend on finding mistakes. making every single person life miserable. the more they can do they can get salary. as if every one gets OCI and visa there will be no people to visit BLS and less people working less salary. I have no clue but it looks very obvious.
