I shipped the application last monday and got the new and old passport back this monday. They shipped it on friday, so in fact it only took 4 working days. This was a regular application. I am amazed by the speed of the process as I was expecting at least a month based on experiences shared here. VFS and the govt passport site were great in providing the updates.
This forum helped me a lot during the application stage, I would specially like to thank Suganani, Pankaj Diwedi and Anil for answering my questions.
I had the same great Experience with Houston Center. I received my renewed passport the next Friday. what chiefly struck me was the Police verification happened after I received my Passport and they had gone to my Indian address on Passport. while they are doing a great job , how does the process or Data updates add up ?
Hey! Did you need to do the police clearance?
If so, how long did that take and did you do the clearance before sending the passport application or after?
Congratulations @dsamz … Need help with few queries since I am planning to apply for my passport renewal…
1> Was your previous passport issued in India?
2> Which address did you get prinited on the passport (US/ India)?
3> Did your address on previous passport change while applying for the new one?
