Indian Passport

I applied for passport renewal in NY jurisdiction under normal processing 2 weeks back. Initially, I was happy to get the quick updates from VFS. But, the status hasn’t changed in last 2 weeks after my passport was forwarded by VFS to the embassy.

Following is my status -

VFS Acknowledgements -
Nov 11 - We have ‘Received’ your Application and your Application is now ‘Under Process’ at ICAC in Consulate General of India, NY. Your reference number is xxxxxxxxx

Nov 13 - Your Application has been ‘Processed’ at the ICAC and ‘In Transit’ to the Embassy for decision making. Reference number: xxxxxxxxxx

Latest Update on VFS Portal on Nov 13 - Your application form has been forwarded to the Embassy

Latest Update on Indian embassy portal as of Nov 13 - Your Application form has been submitted

I haven’t received any updates on my passport application in last 12 days. Even both VFS portal and Indian Embassy portal are showing the same status. 2 of my friends applied for the renewal in Houston jurisdiction 1 week after me and their passport is already printed and dispatched.

Has anyone faced a similar issue ? What should I do in this case? I am worried thinking what if my docs have been misplaced.
