Police Clearance for ds-230 and those with mumbai consulate

[DeW_DrOpS 21]

Can someone please share their experience to get PCC from India(Ahmedabad-Vadodara area). I've hard time to schedule appt. or understand their procedure to get PCC. Their website always says appointments will be available after 7:30 PM but when you check it always says next day 7:30 PM. So strage.

Dude all u have to do is that register on passportindia.gov.in, then fill online form for PCC or offline e form for PCC which ever u find convenient..make sure u have adobe 10.5.1 version otherwise u wont be able to get the form open ...

After that u submit the online application using apply link...u will get an Application Reference Number (ARN) .

after that u need to take appointment which will be either in next 30 days or next month...but u need to take appointment as soon as possible as appointments r not available on date which we desire...we have to book before 15 days to 30 days in advance....and appointment is only available for 15 mins per applicant...

It depends on which area u live..if u stay at Vadodara, Anand, Nadiad, Kheda area u r supposed to go to PSK Vadodara or else Ahmedabad PSK depending upon the area....

I live at Vadodara but i haven't obtained PCC but i have read all these stuff thru their website...n i will be applying within 2-3 months...

For passport PCC, u will definitely need original passport, local pcc , 1-2 residence proof...and 500 Rs/- fee...

U can take one or 2 Photo ID of yours if they need that...

Teah we can send full IV Package with all original and photocopies of docs for our application...No need to send PCC just mention in the cover letter that PCC will be submitted at the time of Interview at Mumbai consulate...All will be fine..

What is the difference between Police Clearance Certificate (PCC) and Passport PCC ?

I would rather prefer to ask Admin to create one Sticky thread on "India" region about Police Clearance Certificate. It's a very common issue where many people including myself are in dilemma about how to obtain and when to obtain Police Clearance Certificate. I will be more than happy to volunteer to create Sticky if regular users allowed to create one, but I need to know instructions to do it.

FYI everyone. Please understand that what the consulate is looking for is a PCC issued by the passport office ONLY.

My spouse lives in Ahmedabad. PSK in Ahmedabad said that they need an interview letter or a letter from immigration office to indicate they have officially requested PCC for immigration process.

This thread was just posted this morning saying NVC will waive PCC requirement if your file will be sent to Mumbai consulate.

http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/368087-passport-office-police-clearance-for-mumbai-consulate-confirmed/

I will ask NVC once my file has reached into their system. If you have already got your NVC case number, then I would definitely suggest to call them and verify this information and see all operators are giving the same information. Also share your findings on these thread so others will benefit from your query

Not sure about Ahmedabad PSK, but Bangalore PSK didn't require any proof that it was for immigration purposes. You just had to apply / schedule from the Passport Seva Project site. If you had already had police clearance done when your passport was issued, and it was issued by the same regional passport office (RPO) they may be able to finish things the same day as your PCC appointment; Otherwise the may ask you to come back after the police have completed a check.

Since my fiance's passport was from another RPO they had to do the full check. This involved the PSK forwarding the request to the police station near where we live (took 2 days for station to receive). They contacted my fiance and asked for a couple local references. After the local police station was done they forwarded it to the Bangalore police commissioners office who did some final check before forwarding the clearance on to the PSK. For us it took 2 weeks to get the PCC after the original appointment at the PSK.

Enjoy,

Erik

PSK office in Ahmedabad has their own rules. They strictly ask an evidence which states that PCC is required by an immigration office or provide an interview letter issued by Mumbai Consulate to apply for PCC certificate. So We are going to provide PCC issued by local DSP police office which requires only NOA2 to issue PCC for NVC application.

I'm surprised they wouldn't accept a Packet 3 or 4 letter along with a print out of the appropriate "Instruction package" as all of these ones clearly state the requirement: (Package 3 - K1, Package 3 - K3, Package 4 - K1, Package 4 - K3 ).

We have not filed K-1/K-3 petition, so can't really say for sure if Ahmedabad PSK office will accept Packet-3 or Packet-4 for K1/K3. Because anyone can print this package from consulate website and does not say beneficiary is asked to appear for an interview and bring PCC. We have filed I-130 application, my wife was told by PSK officer to bring a letter from USA Immigration/Consulate office which states that you have filed an immigration petition and they do want PCC for further processing. In I-130 application, if you do not send PCC in your IV package to NVC and forget to mention that you will submit PCC at the time of your interview then NVC may send a checklist indicating PCC missing, and PSK in Ahmedabad will accept that checklist document. Otherwise they ask for Interview letter from Mumbai Consulate to issue PCC. My wife has applied for PCC from local DSP office in Ahmedabad for NVC processing, and we will get PCC from PSK when Mumbai Consulate has issued an interview letter to the beneficiary.

you have to let NVC know that PCC will be given at interview in mumbai india when you send your DS 230 package and also by calling just to confirm after you get the false checklist for PCC. My husband didn't submit PCC with his DS 230 package, my case just got complete this monday aug 13th.

i got my PCC today from in Secunderabad in 3 hrs. they gave me 2 copies i guess i submit one to Consulate in Mumbai and keep other for my records ?right ?

[Arka 1]

Hi guys,

What should be mentioned exactly in the police report? does it need to mention the entire stay in the locality? The police station i'm dealing with only mentions last 6 months? is that going to be a problem?

Thanks,

Arka

If my father moved to different city in Gujarat. Do I need to get any local police clearance. According document what I have read on US Consulate and NVC. It require PCC from local passport office.

I talk to one agent in Gujarat. He told he can get stamp in passport in one week time. Is that correct ?
