@vfsglobalcare Thank you for the response

[Arun Senthil @ArunSenthil1996]

Hi @vfsglobalcare and @VFSGlobal

I submitted the additional documents that was requested and no updated/follow-up has been provided since the submission.

I've been emphasizing the criticality of my circumstances. Yet, no follow up has been provided.
This is lethargic from organizational stand point.

[Arun Senthil @ArunSenthil1996]

Hello @vfsglobalcare and @VFSGlobal,

I’ve been waiting for the follow up and updates on the application after the additional documents.

Your team was mentioned to get back with an update. Kindly follow up asap.

[Arun Senthil @ArunSenthil1996]

@vfsglobalcare Thank you, replied to your DM with few suggestions for your review team to avoid already prevailing delay @vfsglobalcare

[Arun Senthil @ArunSenthil1996]

Respected @IndiainNewYork, @CPVIndia and @MEAIndia,

I have been awaiting a meaningful, case-specific response regarding my Tatkal passport renewal application from @VFSGlobal and @vfsglobalcare.

I was initially asked to submit additional documents. After persistent follow-ups, I was informed of the documents required. I promptly submitted all the requested documents, along with a detailed explanation of the documents.

Despite my repeated efforts to seek clarification, I have not received any explanation regarding the status of my application.

I never imagined that renewing my Indian passport through an outsourced service provider would become such an agonizing experience. The continued delay has placed me in a difficult position professionally.

I respectfully request your kind assistance in reviewing my case and providing a case-specific update on the status of my application.

Thank you.

[Arun Senthil @ArunSenthil1996]

@vfsglobalcare @vfsglobalcare I've responded to your message and awaiting your response to resolve the concerns.

[Arun Senthil @ArunSenthil1996]

@vfsglobalcare I've responded and awaiting your response.
Kindly respond to resolve the concerned issue.
Please don't delay it as usual

[Arun Senthil @ArunSenthil1996]

Dear @vfsglobalcare and @VFSGlobal

I've shared the concerned documents related to the tatkal passport application last week. Furthermore, additional documents that were requested were also provided today.

Still no proper response or coordinated efforts were taken in addressing the concerns. I still continue to receive templated response through email from your helpdesk.

The lack of transparency is actually concerning me along with the extreme delays in updating the basic documentation.

Kindly provide assistance in resolving the concerns
@CPVIndia @IndiainNewYork @IndianEmbassyUS

[Arun Senthil @ArunSenthil1996]

Dear @vfsglobalcare and @VFSGlobal , do you happen to have an update from your team on my application?

This is becoming a ritual for the couple of days, to follow up on my application.

Not sure how long this is gonna drag

[Arun Senthil @ArunSenthil1996]

@vfsglobalcare Dear @vfsglobalcare
I’ve provided clarification about the documents that I’ve shared.
Kindly spend time in going through the message and hopefully not drag this without any delay

[Arun Senthil @ArunSenthil1996]

Dear @VFSGlobal, and @vfsglobalcare

I am concerned to have received a reminder to submit pending documents despite having already submitted all the requested documents.

The documents were delivered to the VFS New York Center, and your helpline subsequently confirmed that they had been received.

This has left me uncertain about the status of my Tatkal passport renewal application. Could you kindly verify whether my documents have been correctly linked to my application and provide a case-specific update?

Thank you.

[Arun Senthil @ArunSenthil1996]

@vfsglobalcare I’ve responded back as well @vfsglobalcare 😂

[Arun Senthil @ArunSenthil1996]

You definitely don’t understand my situation @vfsglobalcare .
So, let’s get to the point directly. I’ve DM’d you with more questions and clarification.

Also, from my experience so far with the helplines. You have the most entitled and useless helpline. Funny part is that we need to pay to experience your employees entitlement

[Arun Senthil @ArunSenthil1996]

@vfsglobalcare @namrata2y @VFSGlobal @vfsglobalcare ???

[Arun Senthil @ArunSenthil1996]

@vfsglobalcare @namrata2y Dear @vfsglobalcare and @VFSGlobal
I’ve responded to your DM.
I wish and I truly wish for a proper processing instead of randomized request of documents yet one more time.

Unimaginable weekend despite the commitments ✌️

[Arun Senthil @ArunSenthil1996]

Respected @IndiainNewYork and @IndianEmbassyUS,

I respectfully seek your kind assistance regarding my Tatkal passport renewal application submitted through @VFSGlobal (@vfsglobalcare ) at the Indian Consular Application Center in New York.

I've complied with every request, including submitting the additional documents immediately after they were requested.
However, despite multiple follow-ups, I remain uncertain about the status of my application and have not received a case-specific update or an estimated timeline.

The delay and lack of transparency have placed me in a difficult position professionally. As my renewed passport is required employment and travel commitments, the continued uncertainty has effectively defeated the purpose of opting for the Tatkal passport renewal service.

As a Ph.D. student approaching graduation, the uncertainty surrounding my passport renewal has also affected my remaining academic and administrative responsibilities, causing delays.

I understand that every application is reviewed independently. However, I am aware of other Tatkal applicants who applied around the same time and, to the best of my knowledge, have already received their renewed passports. This has increased my concern that there may be a case-specific issue with my application, yet I have not received any explanation.

I would be sincerely grateful if my application could kindly be looked into or if guidance could be provided regarding its current status.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

[Arun Senthil @ArunSenthil1996]

@abhi_246 @VFSGlobal @vfsglobalcare Sorry to hear your situation.
In my case, @VFSGlobal and @vfsglobalcare have been sleeping on the tatkal application, without processing it, for almost a week now.
They mention that they shall reach out at the earliest, however, no proper response have been provided till now.

[Arun Senthil @ArunSenthil1996]

Dear @VFSGlobal and @vfsglobalcare

It has now been over 24 hours since I was informed that my case had been forwarded to the relevant team for review. However, I have not yet received a case-specific update.

Could you let me know the current status of my Tatkal passport renewal application or provide an estimated timeline for the next update?
I have urgent employment and travel commitments, and I am concerned that this delay is continuing to grow.

I sincerely hope this matter can be resolved soon and that it does not end up taking away this week, just as the uncertainty has already taken away my weekend.

Thank you, and I look forward to your update.
