    Indian Passport Renewal from BLS Toronto

    I wasn't sure since there was no separate biometric appointment for me. They have been asking for fingerprints in India. But over here all they asked for was the picture. And technically the signatures but they never show up in the application when you're trying to upload it on the portal.

    The time before police clearance does not count for much. The consulate cannot do anything until your police clearance is cleared. Progress starts after.

    How long has it been since the status changed to 'processing at the consulate' after you got confirmation that police verification was cleared? Are you still within the 8 week timeframe?

    Do you have access to the details in the developer portal for your application? You might not if BLS filed your application for you. Wanted to check if the history in the portal says something like 'police verification was set to clear etc.'
