Hello Everyone,

I just received a “OCI granted” status on the OCI government portal for my minor US born daughter and wanted to write a post here and share any comments/ feedbacks etc. and try to help and give back to the community.

Date application was received at VFS : 20th July, 2026
Date application was sent to CGI Chicago from VFS : 21st July, 2026
Date application was received by CGI Chicago : 23rd July, 2026
Date application was formally updated on OCI website as “Under Process”: 28th July,2026
Date application was formally updated on OCI website as “Granted”: 12th Aug, 2026

As of today (12th Aug, 2026) I havent yet gotten the e-OCI link yet but I think this should be visible in the next 24 hrs

I followed the VFS documentation to the letter regarding application process and the documentation that need to be Apostilled and/or notary signed. The VFS checklist covers 90% of any questions you might have , but 10% I had to google.

Happy to answer any questions

Hello Redditors,

I am looking for a shared accommodation/room in/nearby Raritan and was wondering if anyone here can give me some leads ?

I will be commuting to Johnson and Johnson campus (Off Rte 202) thrice a week (and won't have a car) , so was wondering on how public transportation looks like there?

Hi folks,

I just had my vision exam and was surprised by the amount that I was billed. After applying insurance, my bill came to 93$. Out of the 93$, 20$ went towards a retinal scan that I was informed before but the remaining 73$ went towards “contact lens fitting” with CPT code 92310-2 that was never mentioned before.

I am on VSP signature and my benefit says copay of 25$ for “contact lena fitting” although doesnt mention if the 25$ is applicable for spherical or toric.

How do I interpret this. I plan to call VSP to clarify but in the menwhile wanted to get opinions on this.

Also i have already used my allowance towards a spectacle. Am I still allowed to order lenses due to the medically necessary clause ? Or the Medically necessary is only applicable of no allwance were used ? My right eye is -10.5, and left eye is -9.25
