Hi Kaushal,
I hope you are doing great in this COVID situation.
Your replies helped a lot of people. Thanks for keep posting your experience on the forum.
My timeline is quite similar but it seems like mine is getting delayed with some unknown factor.
I sent my application to BLS on June 3rd, 2020.
Status Updated ob BLS on Jun 23rd 2020.
Police Verification email received on Jul 15th 2020.
and from June 23rd to till date its showing "Processing at Consulate General".
I tried calling their number and even emergency number but those are not going through.
Second I tried to contact them via email on
consec.toronto@mea.gov.in. Still no response.
Can you please tell me some more channels I can go with or can approach them. Because BLS won't have any info on that until they get the passport back from CGI.
Appreciate your Help!!
Thanks,
Chirag Jain
