Hello...I applied for a Indian passport which expired 3 years ago. Consulate people were very nice and said it would be ready by Dec. 28 or Dec 31st. I went there today and said that they are still waiting on reference.

I figured it would be no problems getting my passport back by those dates so I went ahead and booked my flight tickets departing on Jan 10, 2008.

I was told today by then that it wouldn't be ready until at least Jan 12th.....HELP...what else can I do. How hard is it to acquire emergency traveling documents. $200/ticket change dates rate is too much.....help...help..help.

Thanks in advance.
 
You are completely in Indian Embassy mercy. Just pray and if possible complain to Ministry of External Affair directly.

Thanks
