India- K1 Interview- Police Clearance certificate

[WhatAWait! 31]

Hello Guys, 

Please advice:

1. Can my beneficiary initiate the process to obtain her police clearance certificate prior to me receiving the case number from NVC? I read at some site that if your passport issue  date is 6 month or older at the time of interview you must obtain Police clearance certificate from your local passport office as well as your local police station. Given the fact that it takes longer for officials in india to get any thing done - would nt it be wise to start the process now while waiting for the case number? 

2. As an agent for my beneficiary, what are the document I need to upload on the NVC site online? 

Thanks for the advice.

Either way, you  must have police certification from places you have lived since age of 16.  I hope this helps.

I get that, however my question is - is it advisable to start the process of getting the pcc now while we wait for the NVC case number? Does the PCC has to be dated after the NVC case issue date?

I assume that this post is related to K-1 visa.

 

As far as I know, PCC is valid for 6 months from the date of issue so u can apply for it accordingly.

 

I didn't get ur question about uploading documents in NVC. I don't think so anyone needs to upload any documents anywhere during the NVC stage.

Yes, it would be a good idea to start the process now.

no. it has to cover the entire stay if you left one of the countries you lived in for good, or it shouldn't be older than 1 year if it's issued in your current country. Me and everyone else I know had them obtained 2-5 months before NOA-2. And everything was fine at the interview

Our case was just sent to the US Embassy in Islamabad, we are currently working on getting a police clearance right now. It takes 2-4 weeks depending for Pakistan similar to India. It is valid for 6 months. On the NVC website there is no documents to upload for the k1, just fill out the ds-160

1. Yes, but keep in mind the age of the PCC is normally 1 year from most country's but most Embassy's don't want them older then 6 months at time of interview.

2. There is no documents required to up load to the NVC site.

 

Use this link to see what is required to get the Police Clearance for any country that you have lived in since the age of 16 more than 6 months.

Once you arrive on the landing page look to the left column and chose the first letter in the country's name that you are searching for. Once you land on the page for that country then scroll about 3/4's of the way down till you see "Police, Court, Prison Records".  Select it. Then locate "Police Certificates" which should be the first entry. Then check the availability of getting a PC from that country. If it states "Available: Only if applicant is physically present in the "the country's name". If that is the case then screen shoot the page and print and bring to your interview in the event that you need to prove to the CO that a PC from that country is not available for you to get unless you are physically in the country. That should prevent any problems at the interview.

if you got noa 2 then its right time to get pcc and you no need do anything its for applicant only they have to book appointment online for pcc and just normal documents required like passport,aadhar card,driving licence etc which shows photo id's with address proofs.i saw your time line it shows your k1 in delhi its not right cos k1 will be deal in only in mumbai not any where in else.

Hi, my fiancé has k1 via interview next month at Mumbai. As in regards to the PCC, police clearance certificate my fiancé obtained that from DCP office already, but I read somewhere that the PCC has to be from regional passport office, is that true? 

 

We don't mind getting it from the regional passport office too but the wait time appointment is 2 weeks and then they said it takes 2 weeks to receive it, we don't have that much time because our interview date at mumbai is before that. Will they accept the PCC from the DCP police station office?
