    We attempted to apply for my family's PIO to OCI conversion in Canada through official channels, but we encountered difficulties with the "Proof of Indian Origin" requirement for my spouse. After facing considerable frustration, we decided to seek the help of a professional service specializing in OCI applications, and that is when I came across Visament. They streamlined the whole process for us and advised us on submitting alternative documents. They handled all the submissions, and I found the prices to be quite reasonable. With the deadline approaching, I suggest that everyone consider seeking a reputable service and not delay the conversion process further.

    My experience with converting my minor's PIO to OCI in the UAE was quite efficient. The consulate here was well-prepared for the conversion, and we even got our appointment very quickly. The staff here was also very helpful throughout the process, and we got the card in just five weeks.

    I am from Australia, and the online OCI portal here is quite user-friendly for the PIO conversion. The only frustrating part was the lack of communication when my application went "under process" after submission. The helpline was often busy whenever I tried to contact it, and I had no information about any issues that may have been occurring. I only had the option to wait until I received my card. It took nearly 12 weeks for me to receive my OCI card.

    I recently finished my PIO to OCI conversion here in the UK, and my experience was quite a relief as compared to what I have heard from other people. I made sure everything was perfect, which helped me a lot. The key is to be prepared in advance and visit the center during a non-peak hour.

    I live in the US, and here, the PIO to OCI conversion process via VFS Global is a mix of things. The online application is quite easy, but booking an appointment was the toughest part. The slots filled up so quickly, but I somehow managed to secure one. The staff at the center were very helpful. My application was put on hold due to a minor mismatch in the photograph, for which I had to resubmit the application. The tracking updates are still confusing, and it has already been eight weeks, and my application is still under process.
