Hi,

We recently received our appointment letter via email for an interview at the Mumbai consulate. The only missing document that we are requested to bring with us is the Passport Clearance on the day of the interview. However, we heard that you have to submit original documents to the VFS and that they give you a receipt. We do not have any original documents as we submitted them all in when we sent in the DS 230.

Please help us as we do not know what to submit to the VFS???and is it really necessary(to me it seems like a hassle for no reason)

Dont worry...u only need to submit a PCC from Passport Office. If u have not Obtained it yet, do immediately. For that u will have to first apply for District PCC in the area where u currently stay, after u get Local PCC fill form no. 2 from passport office website and go at ur state passport office along with Interview Letter from NVC and 2-3 proofs of residence. Also attach a photocopy of local PCC. Original Local PCC u will have to submit at VFS. Thats it.

Now, all the documents that u submitted at NVC, just take photocopies of all along with PCC at VFS i.e.

1. copy ur own birth certificate

2. copy of ur marriage certificate

3. filled DS-230 forms as submitted at NVC, dont write the date...if VFS personnel require they will ask u to again submit new DS-230 forms.

4. copy of ur passport

5. payment receipt of IV fee from NVC web portal and AOS fee receipts.

well...almost all these r the documents required.
