Friends, try this.

send email to passportstatus@ustraveldocs.com to check passport status,

- in email body if you keep first line as blank and 2nd line your passport number

you always get reply as "Passport Picked up" that is incorrect they have a bug in the system.

if first line is passport number, i always get no status available.

Hi Pawan and everyone,

Let me share some sad news with you everyone...

Yesterday, I got mail from Ustraveldocs that your documents along with passport is ready for pick up. I then called up ustraveldocs and even chat with them and they said yes my passport is ready in kolkata for pick up. Conveyed this thing to my Hubby and he called DOS...first time he got reply, that embassy sent a mail and not email to payal..I asked my hubby, mail?? Embassy will not send me any mail, may be to OFC location and is it 221(G) letter, hubby said, she only told me that it is a letter, nothing else. I had a sleepless night and even 2 more times he called DOS and then he got reply that my case is still under adm. processing. So we both were kinda mentally prepared. Even I checked my status and it is saying Ready still but case update date updated on Jan 14, 2013.

Then today Jan 15, 2013 went to Kolkata to pick up things and I only got one 221(G) white letter along with my passport and nothing else. They didn't send my 2 albums, and other associated documents.

That letter is a simple office proforma mentioning that my case is still pending under 221(G) and it is under administrative processing and when the case will be completed, they will contact me.

The bad part is, it is becoming a financial toll for me. Because I am from Durgapur and next time for passport submission, again I have to go to Kolkata for submission and then again for pick up. Atleast they can hold my passport...It almost like 3.5 hours for me to go to kolkata.

I am at day of 44, 15 more days to complete 60 days....lets see how it goes..Not sure, how to react...doesn't feel like to cry either.....

Our passport was returned on Nov 20th 2012 with same type of letter. Since passport is not property of embassy, they can't hold the same. It is a normal procedure to return passport.

After returning passport, they started working on our case by calling/interviewing my husband and verifying information. They completed their investigation by end of December and file was pending officer's final review as I learned from USTravel. However; I also kept checking with DOS. As per both sources, I should hear something within few days. My status still shows AP.
