OnlinePassportPhoto.com
is pleased to announce the OCI Passport Service for applicants of "Overseas
Citizenship of India". We know how difficult it is to get non-standard
size photos taken in the USA so we are very pleased to announce the
availability to get OCI photos delivered directly to your home.
Please note that different consulates in USA have slightly different instructions for OCI passport photos, and they are subjective too, like face should not be too big or too small-- but we will reprint your photos free if your photos get rejected.
