Need Indian PCC from SP office for CR 1 visa ???

[jiju 0]

my spouse filed me for CR1 Visa. Now we r in NVC. My question is whether i need to provide Police Clearance Certificate from SP offices where i lived more than 6 months.. I asked this doubt to chennai embassy.. they told me now rules are changed.. indian citizens residing in india need to obtain PCC from passport office where your passport issued.. department of state website also saying the same thing.. http://travel.state.gov/visa/fees/fees_4881.html?cid=3582

Police Records

Indian Police Clearance Certificates should be obtained as follows:

All Indian IV applicants aged 16 and above, residing in India, should obtain police certificates from the local Passport Office.

Indian passport holders applying for visas outside India should obtain a statement from their local embassy or consulate confirming they have no criminal record.

Non-Indian IV applicants residing in India should obtain police certificates from the District Police Station serving their area of residence.

Indian police certificates are not available for foreign (non-Indian) applicants applying outside India.

What's ur opinion? expecting replies from any indian citizens who had interview recently...

Not sure about Chennai, but New Delhi's web-site clearly says that if your passport was issued more than 6 months prior to visa interview then you need police certificate from local district.
