I recently applied for place of birth change in my indian passport.
steps:
sent an email to VFS for place of birth change prior approval. VFS asked to send an email to indian consulate for their approval
sent an email to indian consulate via Pramit, they responded to provide documents such as original birth certificate along with renewal application and supporting documents
sent all the documents to VFS along with approval email from indian consulate
4)after 2 weeks, got a phone call from indian consulate NY asking for explanation about place of birth change
questions asked: reason for place of birth change; distance between 2 places; same district?; same state?
5)received an email and call to provide written explanation via email on the same day
6)sent email response with explanation for change in place of birth
7)No updates since then
Its been more than 4 weeks that I sent physical application to VFS. I am worried about the outcome.
Sending emails to Indian consulate since then, but no response received from them.
I am not sure what to do now? Is this normal or should i get worried and visit in person to Indian consulate NY directly?
Please suggest if anybody had similar experience.
Do u mailed vfs global to hold your application until you received a approval from a consulate office becoz there is time line to process incomplete application for 20 days
alternatively, you can request vfs about best way of contacting sfo indian embassy for getting approval?
i am not sure whether sfo indian embassy has pramit service.
Hello @ChinniKrishna_Kothap I am in a similar situation, got inquiry from VFS to submit approval letter from CGISFO for birth date update. I have sent 21st and sent couple of followup emails. But after 7 days there is no response. What is your current update?
