if u do not have a PASSPORT SEVA KENDRA in your city,you should visit the REGIONAL PASSPORT OFFICE and inquire about them issuing the PCC.

Its the job of the passport office and rarely the police is involved.

i got my PCC from the PASSPORT SEVA KENDRA after i filled the online form and took it there.it was issued to be the same day.

hey brother,dont stress too much about it.

the nvc accepts a POLICE CLEARANCE CERTIFICATE and PVC will not be a good idea.

The process of getting,a PCC is rather simple and u will have to get it at a PASSPORT SEVA KENDRA.usually it is issued within 1 day only,if there is not previous criminal record and the address on passport is same as the current address.

NVC accepts PCC isued by the passport centers only.additionally the passport center also stamps the passport as being POLICE cleared.

register on this site,and get a PCC form filled,usually u dont have to get an appointment for PCC,u can walk in at any passport seva kendra after filling the form online.

hope it helped.

the thing with AP is that sadly we cannot do anything about it.

officials coming and inquiring,document requirement by the embassy/consulate are good signs and they show that the case it being worked on.

unfortunately there is absolutely nothing one can do to expedite the process of AP.

i have been through AP and i know how depressing it can be,the best way is to ignore the process altogether and try to divert all your attention to other things around you,check the status once a day without any expectation.sooner or later the AP will be over,hopefully very soon.

My case status has been changed to ISSUED today,the 10th of april

33 days after interview - 17 days of MANDATORY AP,6 days for Passport Submission to VFS,transit and delivery to mumbai consulate,10 Days for stamping visa on passport at mumbai consulate.

thanks for the help.

hope everything works out soon for everybody here.

My case status has been changed to ISSUED today,the 10th of april

33 days after interview,-17 days of MANDATORY AP,6 days Passport Submission,transit,10 Days for stamping visa on passport at MUMBAIN consulate.

thanks for the help.

The status tracker was last updated on the 3rd of april 2012 and it is stuck at that.

does anybody have any clue as to what could be happening?

this is worst than admin processing.

plz help

What were documents stated to be required on the 221 g ?

were u asked to prove ongoing relationship with ur husband?

if u were not advised to prove ongoing relationship with ur husband , u do not need to send all that u stated to the consulate.

ceac tracker gets it wrong, often, when a case goes into AP.

Before you do anything else, call DoS Hotline, ask for casefile status, and report it back here, aye?

i called the DOS, the guy said that my case was under AP.when i clarified i got a letter stating that AP was completed for my case and i was asked to submit my passport,the guy said ' AP is an elaborate term for a wide range of procedures '

why does this have to be so depressing.

1.u can get the POLICE CLARANCE CERTIFICATE in a day from the passport kendra provided u still reside in the address as given in ur passport.

2. when getting the pcc,the passport officer will also stamp the last page of ur passport as being police cleared,i assume that is passport clearnace.

additionally u can get ur PCC attested at the ministry of external affairs (MEA) to make ur case stronger.

u are required to send it with DS230.

hope this helps.

did anybody have/heard of a similar situation?

Hey there

firstly,i wud like to thank visajourney for helping us all in difficult times and long uncertain waits.

my wife is the petitioner.

I was interviewed for a CR1 visa on the 8th of march 2013 at the MUMBAI consulate , the interview was smooth and i had all the required documents,towards the end i was given a white 221 g which stated that i was put under administrative processing,which i should have expected.my passport was returned to me.

on the 28th of march 2013,20 days after the interview i got an email stating that i had a document delivered at the local VFS center,i live at hyderabad.

upon collection the document dated 25th march,it stated that my 221 g administrative processing was now COMPLETE and i needed to submit my passport to proceed the case further,which i did on the same day.

now comes the part which i am unsure about and need u guys help with.

the ceac status tracker still shows my case as being under administrative processing,it was updated twice on the 1st of april and then on the 3rd of april 2013,both times the status being shows as administrative processing.

1. can a case be put under administrative processing again after submission of passport?

2. how long does it take for a status to change upon successful delivery of passport as was done in my case.

3. has anyone experienced a secondary delay after completion of administrative processing and delivery of passport to the embassy/consulate.

Please change your I-130 Approved date : as it's decades off. Thanks !

done,thanks for pointing out

i did not have any specific reason that i was sure to be put into AP because of.

it was an intuition more so based on the experience of others with a similar case as mine and were put into AP.

no reason was stated and i doubt it is routine.

Did that,just made a timeline.

where can i get the DOS number specific for visa esquires?

Thank u for the help pushbrk , I appreciate it.

I am a doctor and completed my MBBS in India ,my wife is a citizen and applied for my immigration ,currently I am at the stage where I am required to submit my civil documents along with form DS230 .

My doubt is about Q40e where I am required to check a yes or no box beside a question which reads that " an alien who seeks to enter for the purpose of performing skilled or unskilled labor who has not yet been certified by the secretary of labor: a foreign medical graduate who is seeking to perform medical services who has not yet passed the NBME exam or equivalent.

I have not given my exam yet and intend to give it after I join my wife there ,does that mean I should tick YES.if I do so it states I am ineligible for a visa.please help me out as I am confused.should I tick NO??
