Sathish Notary resolves VFS Global queries and holds on India OCI, passport and renunciation applications from its Irving, Frisco and Dallas offices. The process is to read the query letter, identify the document that caused it, rebuild the set to consulate specification and re-upload the application.

A VFS query or a hold is not a rejection, but it is written as though you already understand the process, which is why so many people arrive at our office with the letter in hand and no idea what is actually being asked for.

We handle query and hold resolution for OCI, passport and renunciation applications. In most cases the underlying cause is one of a small number of things: a photograph that does not meet the 630 x 810 ICAO standard, a supporting document that was submitted in the wrong form, a name or date that does not match across documents, or a missing proof of address or relationship.

Because pricing depends entirely on what the query turns out to require, we do not publish a single figure for this service. Bring the letter to Irving, Frisco or Dallas and we will tell you what it needs and what it costs before we begin.

You do not have to book anything to find out what this costs: our prices are published, and you get the full document checklist up front in minutes. Call ahead to book your appointment when you are ready to come in. We serve Irving, Frisco, Dallas and Austin and the surrounding Dallas-Fort Worth towns.

What Sathish Notary VFS Query & Hold Resolution actually includes

01

We read the query letter

We translate what the query is actually asking for into a plain list of what has to change.

We find the document at fault

Usually one document, occasionally two. Identifying it correctly is what stops a second query.

We rebuild the set to specification

The affected documents are reassembled in the form the consulate accepts.

We redo the photograph if needed

The 630 x 810 ICAO-standard photo is the single most common cause. We shoot and upload it in house.

Why choose Sathish Notary?

Sathish Notary is run by Sathish, a commissioned, bonded and insured Texas notary public. The practice grew out of one thing the Dallas-Fort Worth Indian community kept needing and kept struggling to find: someone who knows exactly what the Indian consulates and VFS Global will accept, and who will check every document before it is filed rather than after it is rejected. That is why the Irving office holds a 4.9 star average across 792 Google reviews. Sathish Notary is not an attorney firm and does not provide legal advice.
