Thank you. I tried searching for the passport request courier webform but couldn't find one. Do you know the link please?

Hi All, I applied for my parents' visa on 14th Feb and the application got approved on 10th May and they asked to submit passport for stamping. Parents currently live in Kolkata so VAC office will be Kolkata. When I read through all the instructions on the Kolkata VAC website, I am unable to...

Congrats. Hope your mom gets request soon. I too applied almost similar timeline with you for my parents. I submitted on 14th Feb and biometrics was completed on 21st Feb. Since then no movement on the portal. Did you have any communication/status change in-between biometrics and passport...

I can add in one point that might be helpful. I had an appointment today and I was admitted inside exactly at appointment time(10:40 AM) but I saw they rejecting walk -ins coming in around that time saying walk in list is full. I could see a huge walk in line as well who were to be admitted only...

Thanks. Also now they are asking me to 'upload' my COPR under OCI application. I am trying to but it says no record found. The registration number is nothing but CAN******** one right? I am aware they say you can not upload any document after your application is processed . But mine is not...
