How can I contact the Indian Consulate in Houston via phone?

Question

I had mailed my mother's passport to the Indian Consulate in Houston on April 21, 2008. It has been over one month and I have never been able to contact any individual from the Consulate for the status of the renewal. I call the consulate daily on three different phone numbers, but with no luck.My mother is suppose to leave on June 6th.

Answer 1

most of the time, consuls do not have too much possibility to answer phone calls, i imagine you have the address, but i add it anyway,

ps:

How much time will it take to get a new passport ?  

i)                    For reissue of old Passport issued from CGI, Houston and if application is submitted at the counter in person, it may take 5 working days, provided application is in order and no prior reference is required. If the old Passport was issued by a Regional Passport Office in India or by other Indian Embassy/Consulate requiring prior clearance, the processing time is six weeks.

ii)                   If you apply by mail, it may take approximately 10 working days excluding time taken in mail and with the same provisos as in col (i) above.

Answer 2

Try contacting Councilman Kahn's office, the number's in the book. Don't know if he can do anything but he seems to have a little pull in that area. It's worth a try anyway.

Answer 3

I think the above #'s are correct or why don't you type in "indian consulates in the USA" on google?

Answer 4

713-626-2148

713-626-2149

These numbers are from a friend of mine. He hasn't used them in a while but they might work. Good Luck!
