urgent : embassy removed sticker visa and handed over tempered passport
hi all
i applied for china visa through vfs and today went to collect my passport today they checked the system and said your data is not in the system than found my passport i asked him did visa granted or refused the guy at the counter checked the system and after 5 minutes later took my passport inside there office and came back after 10 minutes again checked the system and said no sir visa is not granted
no issues embassy call
than i checked my passport at counter and found that one page layer is worn out ... like someone first pasted sticker and than removed ...
i asked the guy at the counter why this page is worn out the thickness of page is not as usual as other pages it looks like sticker is pasted first and than removed
his face become pale yellow
i asked him fine if embassy dont want to give visa i will apply again but why my passport is tempered
he took me to his senior staff at vfs
some lady came and said yes sir let me talk to embassy
she took her time and after 30 minutes she said sir we are not able to connect with embassy
kindly drop your passport with us we will go to embassy physically and get this checked
i asked her
fine i will give you my passport u take to embassy what what will be the outcome
my question is
1 if my visa is rejected than why u pasted the sticker than removed
2 if visa was approved first than what is the reason of cancelling it
3 why u removed the sticker why don't u just put the cancel stamp on the sticker
they don't have a single word to reply they asked me that will contact me tomorrow
now they have my passport
now the problem is i have to travel abroad next month to some other country with my family tickets already booked 2months advance
now passport is tempered
what options i have
reissue the passport
but to reissue the passport u cannot apply under tatkal scheme for tempered/damaged passport u have to apply normal application which took more than a month for a passport to deliver
but i dont have such time as travel date is near
so fellow users
what can i do i dont know
one minor mistake from embassy or from vfs
put me in position i dont know what to do
kindly guide
