Did you guys have to submit your original passport too while getting PCC from the passport office?

I had to while applying for it, and wondering if thats the norm everywhere else too or not.

Guys going through Mumbai,

Does consulate allows USC spouse to enter with the Indian spouse? My husband will be coming down for the interview and I would want him to come with me. Do I need to get a prior permission from Mumbai consulate or how it works?

Ok, can you guys tell me if one does get an RFE at NVC stage, how many days does NVC gives out to answer that RFE notice?

I am damn scared that we will get an RFE for the marriage certificate, so just want to be prepared for it.

How can you be sure you'll have RFE ??? It is all presumptions. Don't worry!

RFE will typically clear in 3 or 4 weeks time. Good luck

Hello All,

Today my AOS review has been completed and everything is fine... Yeah.. Just waiting for my husband's original documents (which i will get on Monday ...yeah.. )

But one question.. The AVR is mentioning one message ..i am just summarizing.. The NVC has mailed a letter mentioning about one document missing.. and i spoke with NVC operator, she mentioned that the letter is just stating that we are now waiting for DS-230 from the petitioner.. nothing to worry about.. I repeatedly asked about the AOS package.. she mentioned AOS is review is completed and it is fine.. Just need DS-230..

Does anybody had that message in their process that they want share.. that it is nothing to worry about..

I will mail the DS-230 and required original documents on monday..

Thank You..

Hi bani one more question

I am curious to know what documents did he take to passport office to get the PCC, As I am expecting similar problem as your. Let me know so my wife would know what to expect when she goes and apply for the PCC from passport office and how did he convince them issue the PCC without an appointment letter. your help would be appreciated.

Chintan,

Answer to this question, i got from VJ members who are from our area of place.

Remember My huband applied at Ahmedabad Regional Passport Office.. At your place it might different.. I don't know..

My husband took the cover sheet of DS-230 (which you get after paying the IV fee bill of $400). Which mentions his name and states that send all the documents to address below (NVC address). Plus, the copies of receipt notice, approval notice, copy of my US passport (which i scanned to him). Also packet called Instructions for Immigrant visa processing. The link is

http://travel.state.gov/visa/immigrants/info/info_3190.html.

At the bottom of this page it says "Download the above NVC Appointment Processing immigrant visa instructions" Ask her to get print out of this packet.

Another from mumbai consulate website.. Ask her to take a print of the Instruction Packages (packet 3) the second bullet. In which in the Police report column- they explain into detail more of who needs the passport PCC.

I also e-mailed to mumbai consulate.. stating our postion of getting passport PCC.. and in reply they stated that once you submit the orginials to NVC than further will be done to get the appointment letter. (which i got after he was successful in applying)

These were the documents he took but the main was helpful his explaination to the PRO (public relations officer) and winning her confidence that without the passport PCC.. my case would not go fruther and i would not get appointment letter. My husband mentioned that most of the time the passport officials did not even see the documents which he brought.. They just ask for appointment letter.. that's it.. He replied.. He does not have it.. They replied.. Come back when you have it.. Took couple trips to the passport office and he got scuess..

Also have to fill up an application which you she can download from passport office website.. in this your place is surat.. http://passport.gov.in/surat.html and application form no 2. plus Rs.300 for the process and also 2 pictures (i believe 3x5) double check on that..

I hope this answers to your concern.. let me know.. if you have any more questions..

Good Luck

Thanks. I called my wife and she submitted the PCC request without any problem and only document she took was the approval NOA2 notice and no question asked, I was quite surprise that is was so easy for her to do so.
