@SRKandregula Do you recall if they shipped it to you on the same prepaid label you sent them or was it a different label altogether?
English

@VijAnkita @shaileshkarnani @vfsglobalcare @IndianEmbassyUS @VFSGlobal I did. However I received the email on 11/13 and my passport was printed and was already at VFS by that time. It was dispatched on same day by VFS too. Only because they did not select weekend delivery, FedEx delivered it to me on Monday instead of Saturday. It was Std Overnight

@VFSGlobal @vfsglobalcare filing a claim for all the money I have spent due to vfs faults during this process. incorrect responses causing shipping charges and for incorrect charges on vfs call helpline. If someone wants happy to talk otherwise please answer the filed claim.

@v_insanity08 They have a number available on h site now. Try calling. First 5 mins is free but they charge per min after
English

@gujars No acknowledgement. I’ve tried contacting VFS several times but keep getting the standard ‘we will reply within 24-48 hours’.
English

@v_insanity08 Did you get any ack emails from vfs about your app? If not I suggest you start by contacting them first
English

@gujars @kale_sagar @VijAnkita Hi! I know this is out of the blue but I’m experiencing the same issue as most of you. Submitted my application two weeks ago but am unable to track it. I’ve hit a wall trying to get a response and am due to travel next week. Any leads would be appreciated.

@sidistyping You get an ack once they forward it to the embassy. Mine took a very long time, hopefully things are better now.
English

@sidistyping @kale_sagar @VijAnkita No worries, send it to the same address as your original packet (that worked for me) and include a cover letter for reference and even maybe a print of the email you got.

@gujars @sammy2501 Good Afternoon! If you are transiting through Delhi airport without changing terminals, then you can continue with your journey without conducting any more test. Please note: You will have to display your boarding pass on arrival. We Care, Team CSMIA.
English

@CSMIA_Official Does the new regulation by Maharashtra government of RT-PCR test within 72 hours of arrival in Mumbai apply to International passengers transiting via Delhi also? Please provide clarity
English

@PrasannManohar Can you please confirm how this worked out for you? Have the same question and airline is pointing towards airport authorities, airport authorities towards airline and even went from Delhi airport to Mumbai airport authorities 😑
English

@vivek1989 I had the same question. Can you please let me know if boarding without a report went fine?
English

@aaipunairport Can you please confirm this holds true for international transits? So for e.g: I fly from USA to Delhi (show my rt pcr report at delhi, this is required to be within 72 hrs of departing time) and then transit to a domestic PUNE flight, will I need to show a report again?
English

@ridhima_t It is not required for transit flights.
English

@aaipunairport
Hi, I'm flying Chandigarh-Pune via Delhi with a 5 hours layover at Delhi.
Do I still need to carry a negative RT-PCR report?
English

@CSMIA_Official @sammy2501 Apologies to barge in but have the same question. Do we have clarity yet?
English

@sammy2501 Good Evening! We are awaiting clarification on the same from the state authorities. Will confirm soon. We Care, Team CSMIA.
English

@gujars @VijAnkita Its not showing any status change and is stuck at the application has been submitted.
English

@kale_sagar @VijAnkita Mine still says printed doesn’t say anything about dispatch. Been in this status since last weekend. How about yours? Believe Ankita had done tatkal and got hers a while back
English

@gujars @VijAnkita Anyone got the new passport?? Its close to 20 days now after submitting the application.
English

@RedsqKK Apologies to bump in but mind sharing where you got yours done? Am hoping I don’t need to stand 4 hours to get one
English

@buhhhhlieevmeee Yeah. I was lucky to get one when I got my annual physical a few days ago. The CityMD next to me has 3/4 hour waits.
