Police Clearance

[K and A 0]

Hello Everyone,

Its been exactly 5 months today since we received our NOA1 from VSC. I am assuming it will be another few weeks or a month until we receive our NOA2. My question is, Do I need packet 3 for getting my police clearance certificate from the local passport office and the local police station? I read that these certificates are valid for one year. Can I go ahead and have them made now or should I wait until packet 3/NOA2 arrives? Thanks.

Regards

I would advise you to go ahead and try to get both the certificates asap. These docs may take a long time i.e. may be 3-5 weeks to secure. I had already secured mine even before I received my NOA2 and they are still good.

My fiancée is trying to get his PCC from Delhi right now. He's getting push back because he doesn't have a document from the consulate requiring the PCC yet (we're trying to get ahead of the game here). The good news for you is that it's India! There isn't anything that a few rupees can't fix. As long as you state that it's a necessity for you to continue your important, time-sensitive process and you are willing to part with a few hundred rupees for "fees" that can't be substantiated with a receipt (or bribe as Americans like to call it), they will start processing your paperwork. Be prepared for the police to show up and interview you at home and ask you to have your neighbors write letters attesting to your good character and provide copies of their voting cards. You'll also have to pay these guys a "fee" for which you will not be provided a receipt.

Good luck on getting your PCC!

Thanks Guys. I guess I will have to start working on my PCCs soon.

@ Claytlin- Yes I believe you have to get two PCCs( Passport office as well as local police station) if your passport was issued more than 6 months ago before the visa interview date.

I am not sure what you would need as a resident of Philippines. I think it would be a good option to ask this on your country portal. I know that this is the requirement for the beneficiary Indian citizen.
