Passport Renewal SFO Normal still pending - Dec 21st to unknown
My timeline for normal Passport renewal at SFO:
12/21 - Fedex delivered passport to VFS
12/30 - Email from VFS that they received the application.
1/1 - Email from VFS "Processed at the ICAC and In Transit to the Embassy"
1/4 - Reached the embassy
1/5 - Under review at the embassy
2/1 - the status changed to "Print has been initiated for the passport"
2/2 - "Initiation of police verification" email. Police verification happened same day in India
2/5 - No change in status.

I changed the Indian address in the passport. Everything else was the same. Last passport was also renewed in the US.
I have emailed the SFO consulate twice without any reply.
Is there any way to upgrade the application to Tatkal now as I have travel planned soon?
This is really depressing. I mailed the application on 19th december thinking I would get it back in time to travel to India at the end of February.
It looks like I will have to cancel and rebook.
