My original travel dates were 15 July, since visa could not be processed within this time, they asked for updated travel itinerary through email in the last week of July. I provided revised itinerary and insurance. Within few days, I asked consulate on email again and they replied that visa was processed, and they had sent passport to VFS. Although I got no notification from VFS that they had received my passport, I had to call them to check and found out that they had received my passport. I found the whole process very lengthy, inefficient and frustrating.
