Experience of my visit to CHC New Delhi
I just wanted to share my experience of my visit to CHC Delhi this week. I was called for fingerprinting, which is going to delay the decision on my application by 3-4 months. CHC Delhi doesn't have the electronic fingerprinting yet.
Since I have some international travel coming up for my work, I requested CHC to give me my passport, which they did. They even confirmed that my RPRF payment, which I had made by credit card, was through. Overall, the staff were quite helpful in answering questions about the process/ application.
People who are waiting for their passports with DM can approcah the CHC with a letter explaining the situation and CHC will give you your passports for travel. You then return the passport back after your travel.
I thought this information will be useful for people with impending travel, whose passports are with the CHC in New Delhi.
