Hi,
I have applied for my passport renewal at the India Consulate at SFO more than 1.5 months back. I have still not received the passport back and I am due to travel next week. I checked with the consulate and they said that they are waiting for a clearance/no objection from the previous passport office in India (Bangalore) from which the passport was issued. Apparently they India Consulate have followed up with the Indian passport office twice during this course and have not received any response.
What do I do in this situation? Is there any way I can expedite this process or am I stuck with cancelling my trip as I am not sure of an ETA by when I will get my passport back.
Any advice or inputs from previous similar experience is appreciated.
Regards,
Ron
