police verification certificates in india

[tprp 0]

Hi,

My wife is in India and currently living in her address for the past one year. Does she need to get a police verification certificate from ALL the places she lived and studied for since she was 16 years old or does she only require one from where she is now?

Anyone?

Thanks

you can check to see on DS-230 to see the req ...but its 7years i think ..... beeing a student doesn't count ( dorm, hostel) but as far as permanent residency goes yea ....PCC from the district ..... check the embassy website ...( mumbai, chenai, or dilhi) it has all the details

I just checked the Delhi embassy site..it doesn't say " From All Places since the age of 16".

Here is what it says exactly.......

passport was issued more than 6 months prior to visa application is 16 years old or older 1. Passport office

2. The district police office serving the applicant's place of residence

Now even I am confused???

Guys here's the deal if you go into NVC's website which when you get your DS230 instruction packet will tell you to do:

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

Section3: # Obtain and submit the applicant’s civil documents.

It says:

IF the applicant…lived in a different part of their country of nationality for more than 6 months - PCC from that local office

IF the applicant... lived in a different country for more than 12 months - PCC from that country

Section 5: # Review the U.S. Embassy/Consulate General-specific information.

Section 5 when you review individual consulate / embassy instructions it does not say from all places.

I'd say ask NVC if you're really doubtful, but hey how do they know where all you lived? Its based on what you specify in DS230 right.. think think

Either way, I'm no lawyer...i'd say if you have enough time in hand and patience of going thru the hassle of getting from each diffnt place in country you lived more than 6 months, get it. If not, just follow consulate information... thats what NVC seems to be requested in my case.

think abt it..if you're 30 and at age 16 you lived in a small town for 7 months, would you get a certificate from there? They will not have any records of you.... Not possible...

I'd say just get 1 from Passport office and 1 from Local Police station (if passport issued more than 6 months ago).

Just my 2 cents...who went thru so much hassle to get 1 PCC from Passport office in Mumbai..glad its over now..
