Two Way courier services VFS New Delhi - India
- Thread starter robertp
- Start date
I had written only the following on the envelope as per the instructions in the VFS email:
The courier guy didn’t even ask me the AWB, neither did he ask me to seal the envelope. I stapled it after he checked the contents and then he put the envelope in another transparent packet, sealed it in front of me and handed me a receipt. I verified the AWB on the receipt with the AWB I received via email and they checked out.
In my cic account under submitted documents, I have been again asked to submit a scan copy of my passport. I have already received the PPR and VFS picked up the passport on 21 Jul and now awaiting stamping.
I received no communication for submitting the passport on cic portal, I stumbled upon it while looking for any update on the portal.
Does anyone else received such a request?
P.S. - mine is a PR application.

I had it too.. i think many did.. it came along with the passport submission letter. I noticed it a couple of days later just like u did purely by chance. The status changed to "submitted" from "action required" after i attached my newly scanned passport
Im just now got a reply from passportsubmission@vfshelpline.com after 1 week of sending the query. I clicked reply to the mail containing the payment link to send the query.
I had asked for the passport return awb number since i did not recieve it in the update msgs.
