It is so good to hear good news from so many people. I also have good news to share that I have received request for submitting passport in India. I have following questions:
1. Photograph specifications: Can somebody send the correct link for photograph specifications. CIC, India link and VFS, India link have different specifications.
2. Can my relative submit passport of my parents to VFS? Do they need to give any authorization letter?
3. Does VFS send back passport my mail? If yes, by regular mail or registerd mail or courier. I don't want to pick up passport but want them to send to us by mail.
4. Anybody have experience in sending passport to consultate instead of VFS. Do they get passport back within 30 days?
1.

2. If I remember correctly they at VFS said anybody can submit passport. There is a phone for VFS call center please call them Number for India 022- 67866002)
3. Yes they do send passport to major cities by Courier. If you live in a village then it will come to the nearest city they deliver to and you will get an SMS/Phone from the courier company for pickup.
4. I recommend the VFS as it is much faster.
Good Luck!
