My passport had reached NYC on 5/1 and my return mail tracker got activated today. You should be getting your passports back within a week. Don't worry. Oh BTW, the visa stamp did not have a photo (despite uploading them in the online applications) !!

Thanks

Yes. I received that email on May 14th after my initial inquiry. Got the same message again on 5/20 (after another email follow up).

Thanks, the email you got on May 14th is because you sent your inquiry, because at this forum somewhere it was metioned that they will(Maybe sometimes) send a email just before they mail out your passport, and it is not because of inquiry...Have you got it?

I was just informed by NY consulate upon inquiry that "Please note your application has been finalized and all your documents will be returned to you shortly."

Hoping to have my passport back soon.

Yes. Just got the passport.

Despite uploading the photo online during the application, no photo graph on the approved TRV stamp.

Hi, mimiko,

I am also waiting for my visa. I applied online on March 13. Get the passport request on April 30th and it was delivered to NYC on May 1st. I haven't got USPS tracking number activated, yet. It's so sad that my trip is on Sunday.

Just received my passport, would like to share my timeline:
online application: 4/17
passport request: 4/30
passport received by NY visa office: 5/01
passport sent back to me: 5/23
received my passport: 5/24

On 5/23, I saw some people who sent their passport on 4/29-5/01 reported to have their tracking number activated. I sent a enquiring email to NY visa office, a couple of hours later, someone replied my email told me my documents were sent back to me "today". I'm not sure if my email actually reminded them to send my passport back or they were going to send it that day anyway.

Good luck everyone!

I checked it this morning (5/24) and it was activated. It shows that the document was accepted by USPS around 8PM of 5/23.
