Emailing them has not really been very helpful.
There was an issue with my police verification so I had to visit the office (Wednesday open house 3pm to 4pm) and the officers helped me out and then my file got processed.
What was the problem with PV ? How did you come to know that there was issue with PV ? Could you help plz ?
 
How long does it take from "print initiated for passport" -> next stage.
My mothers passport is in that stage for almost 2 weeks.
My wife's passport is stuck in similar situation for last 4 days. Where as my son's passport was dispatched in two days after his passport renewal application moved to "print initiated for passport "

Mine is also in the same status for more than a week now. Does anyone know if there is a way to contact embassy or BLS India to check and see if we can expedite the process?

I got an email that Police Verification has been initiated for my passport reissue application.

- What would happen if they came to my Indian address and no one is home? How will we know they have come when no one was at home?

- What documents can we provide for the verification?
 
Hi, Have you figured this out? The next available appointment is in Dec only, I'm also trying to figure out if we can walk-in. Thanks.
When I called BLS they told me walk-in is limited and there are lot of ppl waiting.. Keep an eye on the calendar to find an available slot.
