Thank you for sharing all this information Keyser. I had a question: the address on my passport is not current (My current permanent address is actually in another State in India than the one on my passport). Is this going to be problematic? Does the passport address have to match what address you provide in your application? I have other documents such as drivers license as proof of my current address.

My interview was on 7/17 in Hyderabad. Took about 30 mins to move through different counters and was pretty easy. My passport has my US address but I have my aadhar card with hyderabad address which was good enough. The police guy came today for verification.i will wait for my status on India passport site to update and wait for next steps if any

Thanks for sharing the information Keyser, how long it took from the time you paid $100 for your GOES application and you got your PSK email?

I applied for the Global entry program on July 6th. However, I have not gotten any email from the passport seva kendra service. I also tried applying directly on Passport Kendra website and it is not recognizing my Global enrollment id. Did you get a message on the GOES website? I haven't gotten any message there too.
I am not sure what I am doing wrong? Any suggestions? I put the current address as my US address and am wondering if that is what made it wrong.
Cheers,

i don't think so....they just give the next available date, which is probably a day or so later....don't book the appointment now....just wait till you are here & then book it....

Hi,
What address we can provide in passport seva portal since its asking current address over there and current address is in USA.
Can i provide Permanent address for which i have proof as adhar card?
In case of Permanent address what we can fill in "Residing Since (Month-YYYY) *" and "Is your permanent address same as present address? *" field.

if you have an aadhar card then just put in that address for both permanent & current....then once you are there for the interview you can explain your situation....
