Just a few advices
I can see that people are struggling here like I was.
I have a few tips
1. If you need your passport urgently go to NYC VFS Global office. I had to take an overnight bus(9-10hours) to go there, since I had no other valid ID to travel by flight.
2. Once you reach the office take the token and wait for someone behind the glass window to come out. Tell them your problem. If the listen and help you out then all is good. If they don't tell them you will wait after 5pm and only leave the office with the tracking ID.
3. Once you get the tracking ID you must know that it is useless. You can't track **** with that ID. But generating the ID means your passport has been sent to VAC for stamping.
4. Based on what I read and my experience, it takes 3-4 business days for stamping and then passport is sent back to VFS and then to you.
They are highly under staffed and hence it has become an issue. VFS has pathetic customer service. The people working at the NY VFS office are good and helpful. It is the company VFS that sucks as they cannot transfer more people to NY for help.

If you go to the NY office either take your passport back or take the tracking ID from them. They may ask you to leave the office. Roam in NYC for few hours go back at 430 and do not leave without your passport(not stamped) or tracking ID otherwise the trip is a waste of time.
