Sent via fed Ex march 15,
docs received march 16,
IRCC received docs march 25. How about you?
That is quick compared to what we have seen on this thread! Hope they are starting to pick up pace. Our docs got delivered on March 25, so hopefully hear something in the next couple of weeks. Is your application TRV, EE or Spousal?

Did anyone else submit their passport around 1st March to NY VAC and receive a tracking number yet?
Got a question for you. In your passport request letter - have they asked to send to NY VAC or Ottawa? In my case they asked to send to Ottawa, even though I did my biometrics in NY, and live here

Hello Guys,
I have a question on passport submission. I received a passport request for PR from New York visa office but I reside in India. I am a bit confused with the process. I assumed that the passport request is generally sent from the local country's visa office, is that not true? Is anybody in the same boat? If yes, how did you submit your passports to New York vac from India? Thanks.
Hi
Did you sent the passports to NY VAC from India
How is that process, Could you explain if you don't mind

We got an automated email from NYC VFS stating that "they have received our courier package but have not verified it yet". Does everyone get this email on package delivery? Also, does this mean they have started processing or just that it has been put in a queue. Also, how long did it take for y'all to get tracking id after this email?

Here is my timeline so far if it helps others:

* Fedex package delivered to VFS NY with Original passport: Feb 10th 2022.

* Haven't heard anything from them for weeks (tried chat and email but received standard response that they were slammed).

* Finally got an email from VFS on Mar 4th stating that my passport photos were incorrect size. (None of the photo studios near by were doing 5x7 and I presumed the standard US size will do, my bad! ).

* Sent a new Fedex with package with 5x7 size photos (Finally found one which was an hour away from my place!) that was delivered on Mar 8th.

* Same day (today) got an email stating that it has been dispatched to IRCC for processing.

I guess now it's my time to wait for IRCC to finish processing and VFS to ship the passport back to my home. Hopefully should be done in the next week or so. Fingers crossed.
Any updates?
