Police Clearance Certificate Requirement

[LotofPatience 65]

I did not get the local PCC since they said it is one and the same as the passport office PCC which one gets in VT, Mumbai. The local police do not give any PCC from their end and they said the one issued from Passport office in Victoria Terminus VT, Mumbai is enough. My case was approved in NVC. I GOT MY SIGN IN FAILUER at NVC. I am waiting for the interview date letter.

I shall keep you posted.

Kapad,

Mumbai U.S Consulate mandates both: http://mumbai.usconsulate.gov/media/pdf-visas/info_sheet_packet_4.pdf

Please let us know after the interview, if the Consulate wants both or only the PP office one.

Dear LOTO,

Thanks for the info.

I agree that they ask for PCC from both their district police station and the local area passport office.

BUT THE LOCAL AREA PASSPORT OFFICE in Mumbai is in Worli and the process is at VT Victoria Terminus. These office coordinates with each other before giving the PCC.

Now there is NO DISTRICT LEVEL PCC in Mumbai since it is a city. See if some one who lives outside the Mumbai or in Gujarat or another state will have another Local PCC issued from that village/that city/that taluka/that district where they live. Some one who lives in Mumbai lets say till Borivali or Thane they dont get any seperate PCC from their local Police station since the local police station says that you have to apply at the passport office in Worli/VT.

We tried asking our local Police to issue the PCC several times but then each time they said u have to go to Passport office in Worli.

This is my experience.

I dont know what will happen but this is what I have done.

That makes sense, Kapad. Probably Consulate may be knowing it as well. If they ask, convince them very clearly.
