Mehul Vaghela is the founder of OCI Pravasi Seva. He served 5+ years in Bureau of Immigration (BOI), Ministry of Home Affairs, Govt. of India.
His journey — which no other agent in Gujarat has:
- Initial posting: Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport (SVPI), Ahmedabad — immigration clearance for thousands of NRI and foreign nationals coming to Gujarat.
- September 2018: Before this, all OCI work for Gujarat was at FRRO Mumbai. Govt. of India started OCI services at FRRO Ahmedabad for the first time. Mehul was transferred from SVPI Airport to FRRO Ahmedabad – OCI Branch as part of the first team.
- At FRRO Ahmedabad: OCI Section — verifying OCI fresh applications, OCI renewal, PIO to OCI conversion, OCI re-issue for Gujarat region files. He knows the complete FRRO Ahmedabad process from inside.
“When I was at Immigration Counter, I saw many Pravasi parents coming with small children, standing in long queue, and their OCI file gets rejected for small photo mistake. I felt very bad. That time I decided, after leaving BOI, I will start a service where file will be checked exactly like BOI officer checks, so no Pravasi family faces problem. This website is my promise to you — Your file will be 100% correct before submission, that is my guarantee.”
