How Much Time It Takes From Passport to Visa Stamped via VFS

[thecoolguysam]

Finally, we have got the VISA stamped. We will pick up the passports soon. The online status states "Approved" with the counterfoil numbers.

This forum has been such a big help! Thank you everyone!! The people who are still waiting, don't loose hope, your turn will come soon.

I'm getting worried too. I have tickets booked for my travel for the 16th of next month and I am really hoping to hear back from them sometime next week. Its about 11 days since I submitted my passport to the vfs and 10 days since it has reached NDVO. I am not sure what to do at this point. I so regret getting tickets!!

When I applied for my parents immigration, it took almost 20 days to get the visa stamped from New Delhi. That was back in 2018

I didn't anticipate that it will take beyond 10-15 days ( based on the trends and what the vfs people said), so I booked my tickets for 16th March. It's been 10 days since I submitted my passport to the vfs and 9 days since it reached NDVO. I am now getting antsy because of the wait times. I really hope it doesn't take beyond 15 days or so. I think I am cutting it really close and in retrospect, I should have waited. Guess, there is nothing I can do now !!! Wish me luck!

Dispatch email will be on 21st day good luck

Is your application being processes at delhi or chandigarh office?

Have you applied for immigrant visa?

Hello
Was your family’s passport submitted under the PGP program ? We submitted our passport 15 days ago and still haven’t received it back yet.
Thank you

No, it was express entry. The passports were processes at Chandigarh office and sent in a week.
For my parents it took 3 weeks in 2018 when their passports were sent to New Delhi office.

do you know any reason for the delay? Is this the general time span of NDVO to stamp passports?
