Delay in getting Passport by mail from Indian Embassy, Washington D.C.
Hi,
I sent my papers and old passport for getting new passport to Indian Embassy in Washington D.C. on 18th January 2007 and they reached on 22nd Jan according to USPS Tracking. In their website it is mentioned that it will be 5 business days in order to process the application. Since it is already 4 weeks, I am worried where my passports are now. I wrote several emails, phone calls but there is no reply from Indian embassy. I have following questions who submitted passport renewals by mail to Indian Embassy.
1) Generally how many days it will take to get the passports back.
2) Do they have any tracking number if they have sent it by Priority mail.
3) Is it better to goto Embassy directly in order to enquire about my pp
if yes, do I need to take any appointment or at what time it will be better
to go, is it in the morning or afternoon.
It would be helpful if anyone has waited more than a month in order to get passport back from Indian Embassy, Washington D.C. I read in several threads that Houston CGI is slow, but I didn't ready any forum with Embassy processing times are delayed.
Thanks,
Kirdar
