Need help getting passport clearance certificate from Rajkot Passport Office

My wife is tring to obtain the PCC certificate from Rajkot passport office and she was told the following things:

My wife's current passport was issued before marriage and has her original maiden name.

1) They want my name to be included in it. This can be done only if my wife will request for reissue of passport which will take 45 business days.

We need to get new Police certificate from local police station. It will take almost 2 months to do this .

2) Also They want interview letter from NVC then only they will issue PCC.

Not sure what to do here. It does not make any sense.

I will appreciate your help/suggesion/advice. what should I do ?

pgupta - Thanks for the reply. We have been told that there is no TATKAL in Rajkot.Waiting for 2 months does not make any sense. Is it true there is no TATKAL in GUJARAT or Rajkot ?

Swehun : 1) Please let me know the name and address of the passport agent. That would be great. Our Police Verification certificate is almost

ready. We told them to hold it because of name issue. They may need Police Verification Certificate on new name.

2) I do not have interview letter. I need to submit all documents along with PCC then only they will schedule interview.

What barcode letter are you referring ? I have received one letter which has barcode and NYC case number and also it has

information of Affidavit of Support (AOS) Processing fee bill invoice /immigration Visa Application Processing Fee Bill Invoice.

Thanks for your reply Swehun

The name of the travel agent in ahmedabad who can make ur passport asap is Lovely Air Travels , Gf 4,Trade Centre,Stadium Circle,Navrangpura, Ahmedabad-380009. I don't have their number.

The NVC letter that u mentioned is exactly the one that I am talking about. However, you would still require atleast an email with the interview date.. you will not be able to get PCC without atleast an email copy of the interview letter/date. Even you mentioned in your first thread that people at passport office are asking for interview letter inorder to get a PCC.

Also, If you do not have interview date or letter then how did u get the information that u hav to have PCC or other documents inorder to schedule the interview?

One more information..keep an additional print out (i.e. original copy) of Affidavit of Support (AOS)..they might ask for original copy once again at the time of interview

If you reissue your passport with same address that's on current passport then you will get your passport in mail within 3-7 days. I had my wife change his middle and last name to my name and she received her passport in 3 days. This is at Ahmedabad PCC.

Don't you need the PCC to complete your case at NVC?

[Nick4all 5]

Don't you need the PCC to complete your case at NVC?

It depends on which embassy you assigned to. If you going via Mumbai embassy then you have option to submit your PCC on your interview day. NVC will complete your case if they don't have PCC for mumbai embassy. I am not sure about New Delhi Embassy or others.
