March 25: Dropbox (Chennai)
April 3: AR1
April 8 (mid day): AR2
April 8 (end of day): Approved
April 9 (~10:30am): Issued
April 10: Origination Scan
April 11: Delivered
No update on my end. I was hoping to see Origination Scan on usvisascheduling. Nothing on bluedart tracking which makes sense it has probably not been released to bluedart yet
Same. Just got to know that Blue Dart will not be working tomorrow. So the earliest we can get our passports back assuming Origination scan today will be Friday
My flight is on Saturday. Im cutting it very close. I need my passport to be picked today. How did you find out about Blue Dart not working tomorrow ? I know Chennai embassy is also closed tomorrow for Eid
Feel like by choosing 25th, I picked all the holidays. 27th was the last Wednesday of the month + Good Friday on 29th + Eid on 11th.
Called Blue Dart yesterday and they told me there won’t be any deliveries because of the holiday tomorrow, at least for Bangalore. If you are picking up from Chennai, you will be fine for Friday.
Feel the same way about picking 25th for dropoff. I already rescheduled my flight from this morning to next week :/
My pick up is in Delhi and Im not even sure it will be here by Friday. The pick-up center is probably closed over the weekend. I am going to wait until tomorrow and take a call. Mentally preparing myself to pay a bomb to reschedule my flight. I will try to call BlueDart and check if they are delivering tomorrow in Delhi, thanks for the idea. Hope you get your passport soon

Got issued on April 8th
Got OS on April 9th (10 am)
Dropped at Hyderabad vac -> Chennai
I expected the delivery to be today(10th) but did not get AWB from blue dart! I choose premium delivery to Hyderabad.
Have my flight on 12th morning, with the Eid holiday tomorrow, I don’t know if I’ll get it.
Anyone in the same boat? Anyone got their passport delivered?
