Sharing my experience with you, I converted my son's PIO to an OCI card in New York via the VFS Global site. I paid a total of $295 to the application center. It includes a $275 conversion fee and a $15 courier fee with an additional small service charge.

    We have taken help from VFS Global to convert my daughter's PIO card to an OCI card. Like others, I also paid a $275 application fee and around a $15 courier fee, along with the service charges of VFS to process the application.
