So i guess we have to call them and take the appointment with CGI right? I dint know that we can apply via CGI for entry visa. Any reason to apply via CGI? Bcas with BLS itself we are getting entry visa within 7 days based on this forum. correct me if i am wrong
No you cant apply through CGI but they will resolve ur file.

The 2nd para does not talk about "renew" at all. It talks about "update/upload".
Renew is for last section, and if you meet the 3 conditions under that - one of them being completing 20.
