23-DEC Application reached to VFS SFO. Tracked via fedex

28 DEC Received email from VFS stating "We have ‘Received’ your Application and your application is now ‘Under Process’ at San Francisco and will be submitted to the Mission for decision making."
29 DEC Received email from VFS stating "Your Application has been ‘Processed’ at the VFS India Consular application Centre and currently is ‘In-Transit‘ to the Embassy of India/Consulate General of India for decision making."

3 JAN Tracked status on passport seva Indian website "Passport print completed"
4 JAN Tracked status on passport seva Indian website "Passport is printed and will be delivered shortly."
7 JAN Received email from VFS "Your Application has been reviewed by the Embassy of India/ Consulate General of India & will be dispatched using the courier service you had opted."
10 JAN Received both old and new passports.
Key takeaways:
1. Three changes from old passport to new :
Added wife name, updated Indian address, change of appearance
2. No police verification was requested.
3. I havent contacted vfs for updates (application process was fast I didnt have to reach them for updates).
4. Fedex tracking said "weekday delivery", so if you are on time crunch and hoping for passport to deliver on the weekend I would recommend otherwise.
