Sachi did you submit any relationship evidance to VFS as you initially planned?

Nah, I forgot and ended up carrying all of it to the interview. :P

So what all does hubby take to his interview as ID since VFS will take his passport (right ?)?

You need to carry the passport to the interview. You won't be allowed into the consulate otherwise. VFS will simply attach a coded sticker to your passport. Also carry another ID (or photocopy of your passport) if you plan to pick up the passport from VFS in person. Since he's a local, he'll can pick it up the next day!

FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I GOT IT B!TCHESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

if you read the packet 3 or 4 instructions it says : police reports - "Applicants whose passports were issued within six months of the visa interview may present just the passport office certificate. These certificates are valid for one year from the date of issuance."

just check and confirm this info. in this case your previous pcc is good to go. from the consulate's view - i think the validity of any police report for the consulate is one year. but please do check and confirm before taking any action. if the above is right it will save you a lot of time and grief.

I know its valid for one Year.... I E-mailed and also called Chennai IV. they told me eventhough its valid for ONE YEAR " it has to be within 6 months from the interview date" there is no exception for this. I have their e-mail saying the same thing too.. i know it doesnt make any sense to me, but dont want to take any chances.... thats why
