Hi,

Yes this is what we did too. Although the NVC will retain the passport office PCC and will return the local police PCC at the time of the interview. The Local police PCC can be obtained by going to the commissioner of police office. Atleast that's how you get it in bangalore, in other cities the procedure may be different. It does not take long (maximum maybe ten days). If you are from Bangalore, I can tell you exactly what to do, but if not then I am not sure how it works in other cities, perhaps the same procedure...but I would start with going to the commissioner of police in your city and checking it out.

Hi,

Either he could fedex the documents directly or he could fedex them to you and you can send them to NVC with your return address in the United States. But either way, you have to send all originals and copied of originals. Also search this site for the DS-230 cover letter and send that too. After paying the fees for IV and AOS you will receive the coversheets that must be printed and must go on top of each submission.

Hope this helps. Sorry for my late reply, but we were busy setting up our new home in Maui, HI.

Regards

Also, note that he will receive all originals back during the interview in India.

All,

A lot of posts suggest that NVC Sign in fail means that the case is complete from the NVC side. Although this is true, please note that the only way you will know when your case is completed by NVC is when you call them....I have already got my interview letter, but I can still successfully sign into the NVC page.

Also, an update - There is no need to visit the Police Commissioner's office in Bangalore to get the form. They can be downloaded directly from the website link below -

Hi,

I am also in the process of getting my PCC from Bangalore and after numerous trips to the local police station, they have just sent the document to the Commissioner's office for uploading so that the PSK can then issue the PCC to me.

I have two questions -

1. Why are there two types of PCC. Will it suffice if I just get the PCC from the PSK?

2. In the G-325A form we mentioned that we also lived in another part of India for 6 months. Do we need to go to the Commsioner's office there also to get another PCC? The problem is that we do not have any proof of address from this other place...we were just staying with friends and do not have any official papers to show that we were residing there....what to do in this case?

Thank you for your opinion on this.

Hi Lucy,

It must be really hard to be in your shoes right now...My wife is a nurse and I know how hard the work is. ...However the silver line just maybe that you found this side of your fiance at this stage and not after marriage and immigrating to the US. I imagine it would be a lot harder to deal with then. Atleast now you can dump this guy and move on with your life. You can send NVC / USCIS an email that you will not be participating in the immigration process because you have broken up and then not respond to any other communication from them. This way, at a later stage if you do plan to immigrate, you can have a record of the email communication advising the NVC/USCIS of your withdrawal from the process.

Thank you for your view.

Shouldn't be an issue

Thanks.

How relevant is the applicant's employment in the CR1 process? I am the applicant and have not worked for the last two years. My wife is the petitioner and she works only three to five months of the year. We are having my sister be the joint sponsor and she works full time in the US.

Will me being unemployed for the last two years affect our application negetively? Any views/experiences are welcome.
