[REHMAN321 0]

HI Guys 

   i have a query if anyone can help me out please.i red that i need to Send PCC to NVC from every country i lived in more than 12 months.I lived in UK and Portugal more than a year and now i am in my home country from where i applied CR1 for U.S. so my question is i have got 8 months old PCC from UK which i applied when i was in Portugal for Portugal immigration and the PCC of Portugal I have got is 6 month old which i  received from there the day before i left Portugal.Can i send both PCC with my home country one where i am living now to NVC.It doesn't  say expiry date anywhere on PCC and i did not go back to those countries again.The reason i am asking is Portugal embassy here in Pakistan takes one to two months to issue PCC

Send all 3 pcc copies to NVC, not originals. Carry originals to interview.

Thanks kierenHby but do you know the validity of pcc if it doesn't say the expiry date on them?

[KierenHby 897]

Should be 12 months, unless otherwise noted.

In my opinion, the PC can be many years old, as long as you have not lived in that country anymore after the date it was issued. If you never lived there again, no updated PC is needed. Can some one else confirm?

Makes sense, but always an off chance that an NVC officer.. on a bad day.. could issue an RFE seeking an 'updated' pcc. I vaguely recall a handful of posts where this happened.

Hi Rehman. Have the NVC specifically asked you to provide the police character certificates?

 

I inquired about this on the forum and everyone told me it is not a requirement for Pakistan. Please take a look below:

Expiration dates on the PCC itself are not relevant.  Only the one from your current country of residence needs to be issued within six months of your interview, again without regard for any expiration date on its face.  PCC's from countries where you no longer live need not be current.

Your ACRO UK PCC as well as your PCC from Portugal are good enough and  the most important one is your current PCC from Pakistan, make sure it's the latest one. good luck

That is correct.
