Passport renewal@Washington DC
I applied for passport renewal and it reached embassy on Nov 20. I have travel plans to India on Dec 20 and I just got a reply from CKGS that processing of renewal might take more time because of a system upgrade.

is there a way to get back the old passport and stop the renewal process? There are couple of months remaining in my passport and I can use that to travel. Thanks.

Passport Renewal
Finally today on Dec 3rd , passport is received. My case was there with Embassy from Oct 29th till Nov 29th. I have sent emails to Embassy describing the emergency of travel. So whoever is waiting still long can send email to embassy and then can push your case .
