Is there anyone here who has recent experience of submitting a passport for a visa at VFS Karachi ?

How long does the process take?
What are the charges/fees?
Can someone else submit and collect the passport on your behalf?

I went to their website but there are no info except timings
 
My wife submitted pasport on 15th dec and ircc office received it on 17th dec and still no response . Orcc is close till teusday . Before this in past it only take 5 to 6 days. Wednesday again IRCC office will open hope for good response Inshah Allah

Thank you so much for the replies. I checked with them again and they informed me that the 5000 amount was when biometric is done along with passport submission. So that clears out the confusion. The amount is indeed PKR Rs 2700 for passport submission.
 
Any update on time lines ? My Mrs got her ppr Jan 30th and she submitted it on Feb 6th fees was about 3500 pkr now. Just wanted to know how pplz experience is and time lines of ppl receiving visa .. hope to hear back from someone.
