Sending India Police Certificate (split topic)

[bigboss19 0]

I have big confusion over sending the Original Indian Police clearance certi to NVC,,,,,,Please need some clarification based on experience at Mumbai consulate,,

As per Mumbai US consulate ,,applicant must have original PCC at time of interview....without that not allowed to enter,,check the link frm mumbai consulate ( http://photos.state.gov/libraries/mumbai/395145/pereirals/Packet4-Infosheet-IV.pdf )

Now i have only one original Indian PCC...which i have to send it to NVC with IV package documents,,,,i think we have to send the original one,,otherwise can get checklist query frm NVC....and case wont be completed without submiting original PCC..

So..i am the NVC stage ,,,ready to send IV civil documents....got big confusion over this,,becoz i read different info. some says we dont need to send original pcc to nvc frm india...some says u dont need original pcc at interview as nvc mailed all file at consulate..( but wht if they wont allow to interview without tht ) ...some says u get 2 originals....i have only one..do i have to apply another one....

Can People who passed from this stage...and had interview at mumbai consulate can provide true guidance over this ..

what did indian applicants did,,,,have you guys sent the original to nvc,,,,what happens at mumbai consulate,,,will they ask for original pcc ??

I haven't been through it yet, but I don't think it is that strict that if you don't have the original you won't get in. Because if you read the whole PDF, it also says original plus photocopy of Birth Certificate...which is exactly what you are required to send to NVC. Yes, I've heard of people saying they will bring the original PCC to the Interview and NVC being okay with that, but I don't think the same applies for the Birth Cert. You MUST send the original Birth Certificate to the NVC. I think this PDF is a catch all for immigrant visa applicants....all the documents they are requested be carried to the interview are ones we have submitted to NVC...NVC sends your whole packet to the embassy so the docs will essentially be there before you.

And from my understanding of the process, you get all the docs back at the first window after getting your token number upon arrival at the embassy. I wouldn't worry.

Call NVC and they will tell you for Mumbai of its acceptable not to send original pcc.

Also when did they give you only one copy? They have me 2.
