Hey Guys,

I am trying to get PCC certificate for my wife from Indian Passport office and i was told by someone ,when you apply for PCC and if your current status is Married you will be required to update the passport with spouse name added to it and it could delay the process. Or they just ignore it and provide the PCC. anyone experienced the same or i am just worrying for no reason.

Yes...make it done...Your wife will be interviewed here in India not in USA. So, please be ready with everything. They do not give you chance to speak out the reason.

Hi All,

My husband's Interview at the Mumbai Consulate is next week.

Today I got an email from the Consulate informing me that they were closing early due to potential demonstrations and protests due to the film that is causing so much problems here.

My question is, has anyone ever had the Embassy or Consulate close on the day of their Interview and if so, how was your Interview re-scheduled?

• Did you have to request the re-scheduling of your Interview?
  
• Who did you contact for that?
  
• Was it difficult?
  
• Was it postponed for long?
  
• How soon till you could get it re-scheduled?
  

I'm getting a little bit worried that the Consulate may close down on the day of our Interview.

Hi

Your case is very different from others...if someone (for example "me" but thats true unable to submit documents at VFS office and do not visit Consulate office on Interview Date because of any reasons...then the Applicant becomes "NO SHOW" applicant. Then applicant need to reschedule his/her interview...For example (again "me") got second interview date after two months...

But your case is not being rescheduling because of yours non availability...This is uncertainty and you will get same kind of email from VFS for new interview date.

However, please be calm and just wait...and please also listen news about this protest...Mumbai is very high alert area now these days, so many of us do not think that consulate office will be closed early. They have just warned but not given any notice that you do not need to come that day...You please prepare yourself from your end.

Thanks

Hi,

1. Has anyone applied for PCC from Trivandrum PSK?

2. Did they need Interview letter to apply or did they accept any proof of IV processing for PCC?

3. Please brief me on the process of PCC application and follwing procedures in any TVM PSK's.

My case is upgraded from F2A to an IR1 case and is waiting for an interview date, so thought of finishing up some of these paper work prior. Please help!

Hi

Interview Letter is only needed for Medical Examiniation, for entrance in VFS office to submit documents and for entering the Consulate Office.

Thanks

Hi

Just visit this website http://passportindia.gov.in and select your Trivendram location from drop menu...it will direct you for next page...On Green colored Tab, you will see its for POLICE CLEARANCE CERTFICATE... Just Click on First option i.e e-Form Submission(preferred) and you will get all the direction there....Just follow all the direction then you will get Appointment date to visit Sewa Kendra at your location i.e ( Trivandrum: Carmel Towers, Opp. Cotton Hill Girls High School, Vazhuthacau0. You will get your PCC on same day.

Thanks

but they give pink yellow or green form for the further administrative processing.................

i am worried they did not give us any of the form ... when they took my interview they said that my case seems to be fine and they will give my feedback to the senior officer and they will call us.....

now what should be the next step?

No Worries...just give them what they have asked you...if not then please wait and keep patience. As you said that you got your passport back without any 221 G White slip, it means first it will go for administrative processing to USCIS (for verification & formalities which were done initially) hence you did not get any 221 G (this could be reason). In most cases, administrative processing is done for beneficiary then they issue 221 G white slip. If case comes back from NVC, they will certainly call you for further documentation or interview. This time you will have to just wait and contact VFS every week.

Do not worry, just be prepared for all documents what they will ask in future. I am sure you were interrogated by Indian Employee. US CO don't do this.

Please advice what to do next?

One more question now our marriage is more than 2 years old.so how should I go about asking them to change it from CR1 to IR1?

Hi Raju,

You must attend the interview which was scheduled as per Mumbai Consulate even if you were lacking some documents. You should not miss the interview because of one document as you mentioned over here. If you do not have any document, they provide you a 221 g form so that you can submit it later. Now, your case has become "NO SHOW" applicant. However, you do not need worry at all...Only you need to keep patience now because your next interview will be scheduled approximately after two months. Yes, when case becomes "No Show", it becomes very frustrating situation for us because we wait for this interview date for long time.

Do not change the status of your case otherwise it will become more headache for you.

And one more thing, please make sure about expiration date of Petition Case Approval. The interview must be scheduled within the approval date. If your petition date is going to expire then please extend the petition approval date.

i need urgent help regarding packet 4. I had sent in my packet 3 to vfs new delhi through email. In packet 3 i mailed them DS230 part 1 and applicant's statement. Prior to submission i had comfirmed with vfs if they needed thr passport size photographs with packet 3, to which they said it was not required. I had sent tje documents on june 28 n recieved confirmation reciept from US embassy on july 2,2012.

It has been 2 weeks but i have not recieved any interview date so far. I called vfs but they have no infotmation. I even called DOS n they say that the embassy has recieved my packet 3 documents but no interview date has been assigned.

I had not recieved the packet3 earlier...seems like it got lost in the mail..now i am afraid that i may not even recieve packet 4.

Q) is it mandatory to send passport size photograph with packet3? Could this be a cause for delay in scheduling my appointment?

Q) I would like to know how much time does the new delhi US embassy takes to schedule an appointment?

Any help is appreciated.

Sometime they do not send Packet 4, you will need to download it from website (http://newdelhi.usembassy.gov/ivdocforms.html) directly and contact VFS via email for appointment letter. Please keep checking website (http://newdelhi.usembassy.gov/visa_interview_dates.html) for interview date and time. If your interview date is not mentioned in JULY and AUGUST month then contact immediately to VFS center. If your interview date is mentioned in PDF file, then you will need to send an email for requesting an appointment letter Or, if August appointment PDF file has not been updated yet then please wait for few days.
