Yes, one is 60 gillingham and one is 40 gillingham. They are at the opposite ends of the same plaza. I had to make a mad dash for my visa application after Oci and barely made it. Apparently, they don’t allow you your turn if you are more than 15 min late.

@ps422 - For MINOR ENTRY visa who has never held Indian passport, could you please advise what documents are needed? I already have both parents' cancelled Indian passport and surrender certificates of both, what else is needed?
Yours was minor application too right? And within a day status is procssed but waiting for print
The HCI's tender process for outsourcing should reject proposals with rock bottom fees that is clearly not sustainable. Obviously the plan of the like of BLS is to fleece the customer through unethical practices --- upsell value added services not approved by the HCI through manufactured errors, receipts do not reflect actual service offered, collusion with notary in the building, the list goes on.
All documents per the checklist on the BLS site. They also need two photographs for in person as opposed to one when you are sending through postal. The only extras that I had to get were related to specific concerns on the Indian passport since the information was all handwritten and in some instances, not accurate.
Did you also upload the photo in the online application?
I heard people mentioning to avoid uploading photo instead bring 2 copies of photograph for appointment and same for postal.
But the checklist says only one photograph. I did not know they needed two photographs of my minor. One photo is uploaded online and the other physical photo is affixed to the application form, right?
Agreed! They spend atleast half hr per application and at $7.40 its really below minimum wage! I understand they have to charge to keep afloat but it just creates unnecessary stress.
So you had 3 photos- 1 was already uploaded to the online application, 2 was pasted physically to the paper application. and now you had to take a last minute 3rd photo as well- but this 3rd photo must not be identical to the first two photos right as the 3rd one was taking at a different time with different dress?
One e-photo uploaded online. And two physical photos to submit with the application. In my case, the e-photo was identical to the physical ones.
oh my god. i had 1 photo which was identical to the online e-photo i had. I have already printed the completed application form with e-photo embedded into it and was going to carry the other physical identical photo with me. Now if i go and take another 3rd photo, then I have to redo the whole application as all 3 photos need to be identical.
