Indian Passport

My passport and my daughter's passport showing "under processing" since 20th March. No update since then. Anyone experiencing the same whose application sent to consulate on or after 20th March ?

Waiting for processing time 8-10 days. Will raise PRAMIT after that.
thanks

With Indian consulate closed across US, has anyone who has given for passport renewal still pending ? I tried reaching out to consulate but couldn't connect. on the website it says passport services temporarily halted due to COVID19..

Is anyone in same situation or know any information on estimated time it will take to get passport processed. For me it has been three weeks since the passport reached consulate for renewal. Please share if you have suggestions or information or similar situation ?

Honestly i was surprised by the efficiency of Indian Embassy Atlanta especially with the shutdown of everything.
its as fast as tatkal, even with a address change request.
it almost took me 2 weeks to fill the forms though, with address change being forced by the system

Initially I opted for walk-in submission at the Indian Consular Services Camp at New England Visa Camp (New England Shirdi Sai Temple) originally scheduled for March 21st. But due to the COVID-19 precaution the camp was cancelled.
Since I had already paid the Return package fees on CKGS application, I sent the documents myself using Fedex.
(No major changes on the application, except that I opted for my ‘Signature change’)

With SFO consulate closed till 07 April and possibility of the closure to extend further, there is chance that the passport gets expired and we are not able to renew it on time. Is it possible to stay in with expired passport?

First, I wish everyone stays safe as these are challenging times for everyone.

Sharing experience:

1) Only 2 passport size photographs. Pasted one on the first page of the application and another on change of appearance form.

2) Added spouse name to my passport: No need to send any certificate as Annexure E is for that purpose where we acknowledge family person names.

3) Used CKGS shipping option as it is better compared to self posting.

4) Used Notary service in UPS

5) I sent my US driver's license (UPS Notarized) and an Indian Adhaar card copy (Self Notarized). Strictly adhere to the checklist and you won't have any issues.

Hi,
I was asked to send additional pending documents by consulate a week ago and the application was ON HOLD .I attached a copy of my lost passport on the same email and sent them. However it's been a week and there is not update. Should I be worried ....can somebody guide me as to what to do? Because there is no address as such to send the document to consulate and also they did not mention anything like that.
