My Passport Clerance repot is going thru with delays due to the slow moving administration at my city. The passport was issued a week ago but getting a report has been painful. I called NVC and they said to mail everything but they will generate RFE for the report. So my question is:

Has anyone else been in same boat and can share their experience? What happened if you didn't submit the report? I know that Gujrat, India is notorious for giving hard time to get police report.

You don't need a Passport Clearance Certificate, if your passport was issued within the last 6 months. So don't worry, just send your DS-230 expalining this fact.

Thanks for your response.

If I understand it correctly - The Passport Clearance Certificate fulfills the requirement of Police Report (Am I correct?) My wife's passport was re-issued because we added my name under the spouse section. The old passport was cancelled. Does the 6 month rule still apply?

Thanks again! :)

Thanks for the information. This rule doesn't apply to you and you will need a PCC issued by Passport Office.

I advise you to send the DS-230 without PCC and with an explaination letter that you will submit it at interview. NVC accepts such requests.
