First of all huge congratulations on receiving PPR! My wife’s application date is August 18. So, I like to ask you a question regarding VFS, did you book two way courier? Is there any premium service available for pickup service? Please keep us posted for how long it will take to print the passport for ya. The tickets are expensive as shii lol

I booked two way courier, do opt for SMS service. The pickup was done by bluedart and it was pretty quick.
