Interesting. We waited until our AWB number was showing up in the BlueDart tracker. Once it showed up in there (I think is said "Shipment label generated" or something like this), we then called the BlueDart and asked them when courier boy would pick up. The courier boy was away, so we asked if we could come by and drop the package and they said yes. We dropped it off and they shipped it immediately...but now I'm worried that we may have done it too early?

Your package was shipped so I would not worry too much. But yet, it seems like what they can do and cannot do depends on Bluedart location. It would be way easier just to ship our own package directly to VFS. But that's not the case unfortunately.
Agreed, being able to choose our own courier service for this whole thing would be much easier. Let's hope that everything goes smoothly though. It's so nerve wracking having such important documents move around like this.
Absolutely, too many middlemen and steps to handle passports and important documents at such a late stage of the long PR process.
We are just hoping that things will start moving soon.
Hi,
I got the RFV email today, but I'm confused about three things given by VFS:
1. They have asked for a passport submission letter - is that the RFV email? I didn't get any other letter
2. Appendix B is mentioned on the VFS Canada (in India) website. I didn't receive that in my RFV email either. How can I find it?
3. How do I share my eye colour and height? Can I just write it on a paper and add that to my package?
Please help!

1. They want the passport request email they sent you. Just print a copy of the email.
2. I don't think you need any Appendix B, never heard of anyone sending this.
3. Make a simple table in Microsoft Word that contains UCI, Application Number, name, eye colour and height.
Just make sure to include these key documents and you'll be fine: PPR letter (passport request email), VFS consent form, VFS courier form, passport, and 2 photos.
So that means, once our AWB number is activated by VFS, we would be able to see it in the Bluedart tracker even before it is actually picked up ?
In my case, the tracker shows 'No records found'. So most likely, the VFS hasn't activated the link. Hope it gets picked up tomorrow atleast.
No, you will not be able to see it. I don't know how VFS and Bluedart coordinate but until Bluedart registers your package after pick up, you will see 'No Records Found' on Bluedart tracking.
That's what worries me because my package was picked up by Bluedart but I dont see any details yet for the third one. Other two packages have already been delivered to VFS.
Here's how I understood it. Once we pay VFS the courier payment, at some point they will submit this information to BlueDart. Once BlueDart has this information, they create the shipping label and now everything is in there hands. At this stage, it's up to BlueDart to collect the passport whenever possible (likely within a 72 hour time window). The AWB number is something that is entirely related to BlueDart and VFS has no actual control over it.
