Hi all,
Wanted to update regarding my experience with 2-way courier service by giving rough timeline of events and some details. Please note that as far as I can tell all emails here will be sent to PA's email address specified in Form imm0008. Also, please ensure you check your junk mail folder since some of these emails do go there!!!
NOTE: I am not supplying the VFS pp submission desk phone number or email address to prevent spam and nuisance calls that will only serve to slow down the process for everyone. I just wanted to provide some guidance, that's all. Pls don't ask me to send it (I won't) and I encourage others to not to share these details either.

- PA called VFS passport submission desk phone number from auto-reply in Step #3 and referenced ticket number received in auto-reply
- PA was able to arrange for courier pickup for next business day.
- Same business day pickup is not possible
- Pickup/dropoff address can be whatever you'd like as long as it's a serviceable location for courier delivery company (thanks to LIZ_2020 for confirming this)
- PA received a link from VFS for online payment of courier fees, paid fees while on the call, and received an electronic receipt of this payment.
- PA received an additional email from VFS passport submission email address with 2 additional PDF forms attached. Courier is to be given an envelope containing the following hardcopy items:

- All documents mentioned in 1st email with subject of Passport request letter
- Person on phone from VFS side was polite but was not able to answer how long it would take for return of passport. They did emphasize to read the requirements carefully and include the correct papers otherwise everything will be returned and PA will have to go through the process again (take appointment, pay fees, arrange for pickup)
- Hold time was roughly 30-45 minutes; please be patient!
- PA was able to arrange for courier pickup for next business day.

Thank you i had same experience. Can you please confirm do we have to provide envelopes as well or they will provide? Do we need to give 2 envelopes?
Not sure about envelopes, but I'd say to be safe get your own envelope. Just a single one that fits all the documents is best, since the courier fees only includes 1 package as far as I understand (2 envelopes will mean 2 packages).
Yes. In previous posts on Saturday when many people received PPR emails. I saw one from October 15 AOR receive ppr too
Guys I am a Sep2019 applicant and the last update which I received on my file was pre arrival services mail on 17thoct 2020. Just now when I logged into my application, I saw the status changed to 'status updated' but again when I re logged in it changed to 'submitted'. Is this some kind of a ghost update? I am already anxious and this thing aggravates it even more.
Ghost Update! could be getting DM next day or week.
Hi, did you get a separate mail for dependent passport submission. please confirm.
Hi, so do you mean to say the principal applicant and dependent get two different mails for PPR?
I didn't get separate email. However, when is called passport submission number they said only spouse name is mentioned on list and not child. Don't understand what they are upto..
