PCC

[bonline 1]

I'm currently in India, and on my instruction letter for the my interview I was asked to get a PCC from India. However when I was a teenager I lived in Kuwait. My lawyer told me beforehand to get a PCC from Kuwait through the Kuwait consulate which I did (it took over 3 months to get that). My interview is in February and my Kuwait PCC expires in January. Even though they didn't ask for it my lawyer said to take it with me to my Interview and to show it to them if they ask for it. Even though it will be expired by the time of my interview he said I should be fine because I haven't been back to Kuwait since I left when I was 18. My husband thinks I should try to get a new one just to be on the safe side- even though I probably may not get it in time for my interview and it is expensive and I will have to travel to Mumbai to get it. Do you think I should risk staying with the copy I have. Is there anything on the state department website that alludes to something like this that if you haven't been back to the country since the PCC was issued do you have to get a new one?

I went to the Kuwait consulate in Mumbai, which is next to K. C. College. You have to write a letter explaining why you want a PCC, evidence that you lived in Kuwait such as your Kuwait ID card or passport with Kuwait visa. You also have to get a set of fingerprints. All of this has to be notarized by a Mumbai lawyer and you also have to get a Manyrala stamp. Plus there is a fee. I can't remember how much.  It has to drawn to a bank in Mumbai. Once you have everything you turn it, you get a receipt and wait for 2 months before the PCC comes in.
