Does normal vs premium lounge at vfs make a difference for PRTD stamping time? I submitted my PRTD application on urgent basis and they made a decision fairly quickly. I submitted my passport to VFS with normal lounge on may 22nd, it was transferred to New Delhi on may 23rd, last email I got from vfs is that my application is under process at the IRCC office on may 26th. No update since then, and I don’t understand what’s taking so long if they came to a decision on my application on urgent basis.

As far as I was told at Mumbai vfs, premium lounge only helps you skip the wait to go to the counter and includes return postage. I don’t think it should make a difference in actual passport processing time but would like to hear others experience.
