Mistake in application (New York, Tatkal for Re-issue)
Dear Forum Members:
I am panicking a little. I am applying for a re-issue of an expired passport (within three years). Gathered all the documents, notarized, photocopies etc. FedEx to VFS on Thursday 14th April, but since Friday the 15th (today) is a VFS office holiday, the application will be delivered on Monday the 18th.
My BIG problem: My old/expired passport was issued in New York. BUT, on the Govt form, I put Mumbai accidentally. (Looking at the printable page preview.)
I'm guessing others have made this mistake. How do I rectify this asap? Generate a new application form??? I don't want to pay the Tatkal fees again! Contact VFS and submit a corrected copy? But how, without generating a new application form? My experience with outsourced passport/visa centers isn't good -- they seem to be under-trained and non-responsive?
I need to travel to Mumbai in the next 2 to 3 weeks, which is why I opted for Tatkal.
Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!
