Is the passport clearance the same as police clearance? Or do I need to get a police verification report from my local Police Station and then get a passport clearance certificate? Or should I just apply at the passport office and then they'll get a clearance from the intelligence bureau amounting to a police clearance?

I hope someone can clarify this issue for me! Thanks for your response. =)

Another query. I've lived in Calcutta till age 18, studied in New York for 4 years and then recently moved back to get married in India. Do I need a police clearance from the local PS in New York as well?

USCIS will do their own check for any time spent in the US. For the police certifica/passport clearance, I am sure this is a country specific question

You will need to get two pcc's, one from both your local police district and obe from the Passport Office. Both are 'police clearance certificates', though they will be written up a little differently, they will both basically have the same info.

Thanks for your help! So I should just get both those certificates now since it might take a month to get them done? I read somewhere that PCC are held valid for 1 year for embassy purposes even if the certificate itself says 6 months? Makes sense to get them done now then.

Yes, the Embassy recognizes the PCC's as valid for up to one full year from date of issue. The Passport Office PCC takes longer than District PCC.
