    YOu can just add a note when you submit the passport stating the height and eye color. It is a simple letter with her name, application ID and responses to what they have asked for. Good luck!

    For VFS India, you cannot book an in-person appointment, you need to use 2-way courier to drop-off the passport for stamping. Good luck.

    Thank you so much. There is no formal decision letter I suppose then. I have the update in my online portal saying that a final decision is made and have the document number.

    I think providing everything asked for will help to avoid any additional delays. But as I saw a previous comment about submitting the old PCC worked, maybe you can start the process for PCC but send the old one with the statement. I know PCC has validity so sometimes they may require a new one...

    I think you should contact VFS VAC helpline. They ask for alternate pickup location in case of non-serviceable areas. All the best!

    Hi, you need to send all this to VFS VAC and they are not accepting any in-person passports. You will need to do a two way courier. So she can apply from anywhere as VFS VAC has many locations all across. Yes, that info needs to be sent on a piece of paper separately. Good news!!
