Indian Passport renewal NY consulate
I have filed for Passport Renewal in "Tatkal" Track.

Notes: Even after applying for Tatkal processing the VFS delayed in processing my application. Also, on 3rd Feb they send me a message saying my application has been dispatched but they did not dispatch it before 5th Feb in the evening. FedEx site showed "Duplicate results found: More than one shipment was found with the following tracking number(s). Please click on the tracking number(s) below to find your shipment" after 3 days the VFS said they dispatched my application. DO NOT WASTE TIME OR MONEY BY CALLING THE VFS SUPPORT TEAM as they will only repeat what you can see online, they will not provide you a single more information other than that. Really not happy with the services that were provided by VFS, as they started processing my application after 10days(normal days not working days) after FedEx delivered my application to them and in their site it showed me no application/inputs found till 24th Feb and I was worried about that, called the customer support guys they only said wait for few more days. Also, lastly did not receive any email for Police Verification.

Hope this is helpful to anyone who is worried about their application of Passport Renewal getting Delayed.
