Hi,

I am trying to understand the information about the pick up provided by the CSC website and the information in the tracking from Empost. As it doesn't match I am posting this question. Does anybody has picked up US visa lately? I got an email with the number to track saying that the passport was received by Empost. A friend of mine went through the process one week before me and he was waiting for the status to change, it did not after 5 days, so he is going to collect it tomorrow.
Does anybody knows how long I have to wait or if this status mean I can pick it up? I am in a bit of hurry because I need to travel soon, but I don't waste a trip to Empost if it is not available. There is no number whatsoever that I could call in the email.
Thanks in advance!

Don't call the consulate, call Empost. I just called them to confirm if the passport is ready for pick up. 600565555 is the contact number. Option #4 for general inquiry. They asked me for the passport number and confirmed it is ready for pick up at the requested Empost pick up.

Hi kewlzany, I received the same email as you, actually I believe we went to the consulate on the same day. Who should I call? There is a number for the consulate, but they are not very helpful, they say check the website. I will pick up in a couple of days, but if you could confirm if the passport was available when you picked it up I would really appreciate.

I got DS's US visa done on Wednesday and received a confirmation email yesterday with the tracking number. At the end of the mail, there was a link and I clicked on it and it directly took me to the status and showed as delivered to the Empost which I requested for pick up. Will go and pick it up later today. I think they have forgotten to update. How many days has it been? You should give them a call and provide your tracking number. They will tell you if they received it or not and how many days it would take.
