LA Passport Turn Around Time
- Thread starter subhrnsupani
- Start date
e-Apps..this means you have applied online.. that is how the consulate know that your application has already been approved and you have sent it for stamping purpose only.. otherwise they will think it's paper application and they will put it in queue till they finally open your mail and realize that it's already been approved and they have to just do the stamping.. but by that time you have already lost 3-4 weeks as your application moves slowly in the queue along with other applications..meng5656 said:
LA office sent me an email says that my visa has been issued and passport had been sent out. And my tracking number is activated.
It seems that they'll reply to the fax query. I emailed them last week but got no response.
timeline:
paper application submitted:April 2nd
passport returned: May 2nd (not received yet)
Hope you guys get your passports soon!

Finally received my passport 
. End of an excruciating and agonizing long 5-6 weeks wait.. visited LA consulate yesterday and collected stamped passports in-person.. they returned all other documents along with return USPS express envelop that had sent last week.. My experience at LA consulate was great and I got much needed cooperation and help at this hour of need.. thanks to the lady at the counter and the support staff there.. Since I had not received any update from them even after 10-11 days of sending my passports for stamping, I decided to fly and meet them in person.. at the end it bore fruit and I must say it was worth it..all well that ends well..
Thank you all of you for providing your inputs and sharing your experience at each stage as we moved along the entire process.. wishing luck to those who are yet to receive approvals and stamped passports..

Hey Dbs, you were at the LA office yesterday? I was there to collect my passport too! We were probably sitting in the same room for a while. Congratulations to everybody who finally got their passport back!Dbs said:Finally received my passport
