Hi, I am kind of in the same boat. My status was changed to "Print has been initiated" on June 2nd. Do you know how long it will take to have the status changed to "Passport has been printed"?
Based on the threads and cases read above, it has changed between 1 day to 3 days on average.. some has gone beyond 10 days too but that may be some special case.. most likely it should get updated today..

How long after a Purolator delivers my postal application to BLS can I start seeing some movement in my application tracking online? Right now it says no records found

For my daughter, I need to renew her passport. It is expiring in the first week of October 2022. Can somebody post the instructions or the link of another post with the required details?

I am in the same boat, print initiated - June 2nd and no updates yet.
May be this week Thursday it should be printed. My old passport shows under review on Indian website that means it’s canceled so lets see when its actually printed, hopefully by Friday

Thanks

Ohh I see. Was your status changed to print has been initiated at all on Global Seva Portal? Could you please share your timelines?

Definitely.. btw, nothing changed yet. It gives so much frustration to see no action and especially when trips are aligned. Post police verifications, the process should be same for all and with similar timelines but who dares to Question Consulate offices.. they are the Boss..

The instructions are available on the BLS website if not already applied. P.S. If you or family have applied for citizenship, then you may need to attach the email printout sent by cic too (this info is not available on any of the BLS or MEA website).

Well! Rightly said.. we all are keeping fingers crossed in assuming dates, cross verifying cases, spending time reading threads, Ifs/maybe's and at the end its on those appointed officials who work according to their timelines. Nothing specific or defined SOP's. Website says 8 weeks so they should give in 8 weeks and not 4 or 5 weeks. That means process is not streamlined. Human mentality feel happy when we receive early than expected but it gives hopes to all others applying, expecting it arrives early and it bounces back. This is not a systematic system rather its at the officers descrition. Let's keep hoping that the officer wakes up and do some justice to us. Lolz..

Application reached to BLS on 13th May
Application to consulate May 17th
Application under review and got file number on May 19th
June 3- passport print initiated

granted with no police verification may be because my previous passport was issued in India and that time police verification completed so they should have that in system. As long as i know PV not needed for reissue if it’s within one year of expiry and previous clearance available in the database
