VFS Global, the exclusive service provider for visa, OCI, passport, renunciation of Indian citizenship, and Global Entry Programme (GEP) verification services for the Government of India in the United States of America launched two new centers in Seattle and Bellevue. These centers will process visas, OCI (Overseas Citizens of India), and passport service requests.
These centers will help serve the almost half million-strong Indian diaspora community in the nine states of Alaska, Idaho, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota, Oregon, South Dakota, Washington, and Wyoming, which fall under the consular jurisdiction of the Indian Consulate in Seattle.
“The opening of the Indian Consulate in Seattle is a reflection of Government of India’s strong commitment to deepen our relations with Pacific North Western states of the USA,” said Mr. Prakash Gupta, Consul General of India in Seattle. “Through the opening of these new visa application centers (VAC) in Seattle and Bellevue, we hope to ensure for all consular applicants a more convenient experience to adequately prepare their travel to India.”
