Hi friends,

did anyone come across this? Kindly give ur opinion

We were told by VFS that the police clearance was unnecessary but that the passport clearance was necessary. We had to get the police ones anyway because the passport office we used wanted them.

FYI - the information that the embassy tells you, that VFS tells you and that the embassy's own website tells you are not always the same. Sometimes it's better to be overprepared.

Yes that is correct - NVC/ US Consulate in India do not require local PCCs. However a PCC from the Passport Office from where your Indian Spouse Passport was issued is a requirement (some passport offices do ask for local PCC to issue their PCC). Also for any stay abroad for more than 12 months, the foreign PCC is required.

Both Bec_Dipu and NavyK's response's are correct.

We had to the do the same process for A'bad RPO to issue a Passport Clearance Cert.
