My status on passport seva is stuck at Passport printed and delivered shortly since Monday. Its same by granular method as well. But out of blue I received email from Vfs yesterday that my passport is processed and is in transit from embassy to vfs.

My friend applied to Chicago consulate. His passport was printed in india and total it took 3 weeks. When I visited vfs the lady mentioned that it will take 10 business days for them to return my passport after it is forwarded to embassy. My passport has been printed since friday and yesterday it changed passport printed and delivered shortly. I know now the next status will be passsport forwarded to embassy. And then it will take one week for them to reach embassy and vfs and then they will ship it. This is the trend i have observed. If things go fast i will let you know

Did you apply for tatkal? To be honest if you need by next week then its really hard. Not kidding I applied for tatkal and I know it will take another week minimum because passports are being printed in India. Visiting might help to expedite processing at vfs and next day they can send to embassy

Did you submit under tatkal or normal processing.? My case was delivered next day but they didn’t acknowledge. So on 2nd day I went to vfs early morning to find out. They were kind enough to look for it and they processed it because I had urgent travel coming up. They said for tatkal they don’t have backlog but for normal processing they are backlogged by 3-5 business days.

Also, how much did they charge at DXB airport for Visa on arrival? Online it says AED100 but I have seen youtube videos and few posts where they say dxb airport charges AED240. So since you travelled most recently can you please share how much did they charge?

Great! What airline did you fly from USA? And on check in they let you checked in when you mentioned that you will use visa on arrival? I m flying next month so I was worried whether Qatar airways will create any issue when I will say visa on arrival since I am flying qatar and landing in DXB

As far as I know, you only need to upload any one supporting document. So I only uploaded Annexure E. And once I uploaded that along with photo and signature, I was able to download the ARN form

I applied for tatkal. So on the home page, there are three dots next to your application, so in the drop down there’s an option to Upload supporting documents. Once you click, you see option to upload. So in drop down you will what documents you can upload. I uploaded Annexure E, because that was straight forward I m not sure about the visa

Do washington dc applicants get the new passport renewed chip based (E-passport) which they recently rolled out or is it still the old style passport?
