Passport @ ATL consulate
My current status says "Application 'Reviewed' by Consulate and ‘In Transit’ to CKGS Application Centre".
Does that mean that passport is approved or rejected ? Any guidance ?

Passport renewal at SF Consulate
How much time does it take for renewing indian passport (with address change) at SF Consulate?
Hi,
I've sent my passport (issued in India) for renewal to CKGS at SF Consulate. Normal processing (No tatkaal) with address change request (Included my aadhar card as address verification document).
Oct 7, 2019 (Mon) - Package Received by CKGS.
Oct 9, 2019 (Wed) - Application processed at CKGS and "In Transit" to the Consulate for decision making.
Oct 10, 2019 (Thu) - Application "Under Process" at Consulate.
...
Waiting since then.
I've a travel planned early Nov, I'm worried if I will get my passport on time. CKGS website mentioned that it will take 2-3 weeks for renewing (After doing their initial assessment).
Any help would be appreciated if you had similar case. Should I call CKGS or Consulate?
Thanks

Question on Documents for Minor passport renewal
Hi,
I am applying for my 10 year daughters passport renewal. I have a couple of questions
1) Do we need to self attest the Color Copy of my visa, wife's visa and daughter's visa and address proof or they just need to be notarized. The checklist just mentions to notarize and not self attest.
2) On the last page of the Passport Application form for the signature it is mentioned in bracket (applicant is minor. either parent to sign). Do either of us only have to sign in the box or is it both my daughter and either of us? Do we also need to notarize this page as it is not mentioned in the checklist

Address change in passport
FYI,
For Indian addresses that don't fit in the government form, it is okay to shorten some address words like : Extension, Colony, Apartments etc.
To support this, CKGS wanted a letter addressed to the consulate, explaining why the address was shortened - with actual full address and the shortened address mentioned as well.
This worked for me and my passport was delivered in ~1.5 weeks.

Experience
I applied for Indian passport on CKGS with SF consulate.
Sent my package to CKGS on: 09/19/2019
They sent it to consulate on: 09/20/2019
Consulate sent my passports back to CKGS on: 10/03/2019
I received them on: 10/04/2019
Paid nearly $160. Much cheaper and simpler process to get it done in India.
