Houston Passport Renewal
Hello all, I applied for Passport Renewal in Houston Consulate under damaged category (was asked to since apparently the passport bindings were a little torn) and I am changing my address on the passport to a new one (provided Adhaar Card). Its currently been 4+ weeks and have not received any update. Here is the timeline -
October 6 - left VFS
October 7 - received email that it reached Embassy
October 8 - received email that it is under review.
I had sent an email to the embassy and had received the following response -
`Passport will be issued after confirmation of applicant’s Police Verification Records (PVR) from the system of the Consulate. In the absence of PVR status in the system, the case will be referred to the concerned authorities in India for clearance. Processing time for a Police Clearance Certificate depends on the availability of clear PVR form Concerned authorities in India.
The normal processing time of passport is 4 weeks.`
Are there any more people who have been waiting for renewals from the Houston consulate or does anyone have suggestions to what I can do to check for any updates or expedite it ? Any suggestions would be very helpful as I need my passport for a my DL renewal as well.
