PCC - Bangalore/ India

[JinyAndJony 0]

Anyone can tell me whats the wordings and format on PCC issued by bangalore police? I saw in chennai consulate website they need PCC for the entire duration of stay at any place. When i applied for PCC in bangalore, last week..I only mentioned current residence and that I have been staying at the place for 2 yrs. Any help will be much appreciated..

Hello, sorry I cannot tell you about Bangalore but hopefully someone will answer who got a police PCC from there. I think that the PCCs would be similar throughout India. Here are our PCCs from Visakhapatnam:

The PCC issued by the Visakhapatnam Passport office said:

Govt of India Ministry of External Affairs Passport Office (address etc)

Police Clearance Certificate

There is no adverse information against (name) son of (name) holder of Indian Passport No -- issued at -- on -- which would render him/her ineligible for the grant of travel facilities including visa for United States of America.

Passport Officer

(Signature, Address & Stamp)

The letter issued from the local police station said:

“This is to certify that -- son of -- aged --, address -- who has not been involved in any criminal case so far and no adverse report was received against him as per the records of --Police Station. His conduct and character are satisfactory to the best of my knowledge.

Station house officer

Hi Sowmya, Did you to go to blore police commisioner's office and apply or thru passport office? The reason for my worry is this thread http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/75586-format-for-police-certificate-in-india/

There they really word the certificate linking it to the period of stay.

By the way, congrats on your wedding!

Hi,

I applied through the K1 visa and I needed to get PCC from both the passport office and the commisioners office in infantry road.. The certificate is linked to the period of stay. The PCC issues by Comissioners office for me says that

There is no adverse info against------ resident of ---- since --- to present holder of passport no---- dated--- valid till ---- issued at --- which would render him ineligible for the grant of travel facilities including visa for USA.

Now I'm not sure in your case u need to extend it to your entire stay in bangalore or restrict it to the last 2 years. Maybe the last 2 years is enough, I suggest you read through the packet 4 again carefully and then decide. If you have already received your case number in Chennai you can also call them and find out.

In case you decide to get it for all the places in bangalore, you might have to apply again for a new certificate paying Rs 200 again. you can talk to the person at the single window counter at Infantry road and decide. But do carry the documents needed to apply again and cause that might well be the case.

hope this helps,

Sowmya

In case you resided in a different place in bangalore which fell under a different police station,

ok the wording is pretty much the same, except no periods were specified in my wife's passport office PCC from Bangalore. the exact wording is: "There is no adverse information against Shri/Smt/Kum your name here ****************************** W/o husband's (or wife's) name here **************************

holder of Indian passport # (passport no) issued on (issue date) at Bangalore which would render him/her ineligible for grant of travel facilities including visa for USA".

Same thing for the local police station PCC. couple of things - make sure your passport office PCC is within 6 months of your interview date. Also when applying for the passport office PCC, make sure you write "For USA visa" on the top of the PCC application. they held my wife's PCC b/c the idiots at the office didnt tell her to write those 3 words and when she went to the office, they yelled at her for not properly filling out the form. so make sure you do that. also you can track the PCC online (thru your passport #) AND make sure you make the PCC appt online on the bangalore passport office website and get the online token. it will save you a world of waiting time!

i am not from bangalore... so they myt specify the period for me. thats the whole prob.. i have stayed only from 2003.

but unfortunately i didnt know they were going to put the period on the certificate ...so i just wrote from May 2008 in the pcc form at the commissioners office.
