I need advice on a specific issue with my newly renewed passport.
I had applied for and received a fresh Indian passport via CKGS in San Francisco in September 2017 since my old one is due to expire in December this year.
The new passport has my photo blurred in the biodata page, even though I had included a properly clear photo in my passport renewal application. I observed that it was noticeably blurred compared to my previous passport’s photo.
I emailed the Indian consulate about the photo being blurred, and they replied that it should be generally fine, but I could apply for re-issue if I wanted to. But my current passport expires in approximately 3 weeks and the processing for a new passport would possibly exceed that deadline. What do you suggest I do regarding this? (Also, my H1B is valid till 2020, in case that matters)
