India police certificate

[KJF 0]

Hi Everyone,

I am currently going through the NVC procedure for my wife (in India).

I just paid her affidavit of support fees.

Had a question for police certificate in Gujarat. Can we start getting that early, mean-while we wait for her Immigration and DS-230 forms to be sent to NVC (have not got a confirmation to send those yet).

What we have found is the following, is that sufficient?

Get a police certificate from local police station, take it to the Regional passport office and get a Police clearance certificate.

Thanks,

Jay

I've read in several places that the douchebags in Ahmedabad passport office actually want to see a letter from the NVC asking for the PCC before issuing it (ie, they want to see the RFE rather than issue it w/o seeing one, which is nonsense). So unfortunately it may be that you may have to submit everything to NVC w/o the PCC and then wait for the RFE from the NVC, take that back to the RPO and then apply for the PCC. also, depending on how recently your wife's passport was issued will depend on if you only need 1 or 2 PCCs. if <6 months, then only need PCC from regional passport office (RPO); if >6 mos, then may need PCC from both local station and RPO. But I would confirm from the Delhi consulate website (assuming your wife will be interviewing from Delhi consulate). best of luck!
