Hi, Did anybody use the webform for pickup and delivery of passport? My parents received request for passport submission recently for visit visa. Had a few queries:
1. There is a field for Application Number in the webform? Is it the application number they received from VFS while submitting biometrics? The same one as on the VFS receipt. Or, is it the application number provided by IRCC?
2. Any idea on the time taken by VFS to give back the stamped passports?
3. Anything else I would keep in mind?

My parents got the visa after a long wait. So don't want to mess up things. Thanks a lot in advance.

Do we have to submit any document other than the PPR letter and SMS form? Is consent form required if we opt for pickup and delivery? If yes, Should I mention Blue dart in the field- Name of the person? I’ve received a bunch of documents and not sure whether I have to submit all of them. Below are the instructions received in the email:


Instructions to be followed:
Failure to follow the below protocol may lead to further delay in processing of your application.
1. Ensure there is only 1 packet per applicant & include the following in each of the package,
- SMS / Courier return form
- Consent form from all adult applicants(18 plus)
- Passport transmission letter for all applicants for whom service has been booked and paid for.
- Current and Valid passport for all applicants for whom service has been booked and paid for (Kindly do not submit old passports)

2. It is mandatory to submit all the above documents duly completed as required by the High Commission along with the Current Valid Passport.

3. Keep the envelope ready with all the documents mentioned above and hand it over to the Blue Dart courier executive. The airway bill number must be provided to the Blue Dart pick up staff on the date of pickup and write the below text on the envelope.

Thanks a lot for all your responses. They were very helpful. Had a follow up question regarding the Consent Form. The last page of the form is related to biometrics. Do we need to fill it in this case? Or keep it blank since biometrics is already collected. Thanks in advance!

Any idea if the processing time for TRV is really 166 days or its a glitch ??
I thought it to be a glitch as it shows 29 days for a paper application though

Did you check with anyone who applied inland to see how the processing is coming along?
