How Much Time It Takes From Passport to Visa Stamped via VFS

[mcassim87]

submitted passport at Lahore VFS on 23rd March 2018 (surprisingly it was open despite being the public holiday)

luckily i was the only applicant, so was in/out in 10 mins

waiting nervously now.............

Just curious but what are the probable reasons for them to take this long just to stamp the visas?

Exactly my thoughts too. My visa was issued on the 16th and passport received on the 23rd. The VFS and visa office are just stone’s throw away from each other

I submitted in VFS chandigarh on 13 March and the VFS tracking says that its being processed in NDVO.

PS: My background has stayed in IP2 since 27th Feb and decision has always stayed the same since the first day of application !!

Is it a good idea to create a Whatsapp group to track the processing time amongst ourselves?
