reschedule interview with Mumbai Consulate

[Spartan676 0]

Hi, my wife's interview for CR-1 visa was scheduled March 7th 2012 at mumbai consulate. Unfortunately, she is still waiting to get the police certificate (was waiting for about a month to get it, but due to elections in Mumbai, has been unable to do so) and therefore we have to reschedule. She emailed and called the mumbai consulate last Monday and was told that she would hear back within 24 to 72 hours. No call back yet. What should we do? We are almost at the finish line and do not want to have problems or another delay if we miss this appointment. Please advice.

Also, what happens if we do not hear back and do not go to the interview?

Moved from IR-1/CR-1 Process & Procedures to India regional forum; topic is country specific.

I don't have any answers for you about what to do, but we are having the same problem. We have have an interview coming up in Delhi and have been trying since October to get the required documents, but haven't yet due to strikes, holidays, etc. We have even paid the additional "fees" to expidite the process. It's so frustrating trying to get anything done here.

Did you try emailing the VFS helpline [infousmumbai@vfshelpline.com]. They should be able to handle this easily. The next interview date may be 2 months ahead since they schedule the whole month at a time I think.

Re-schedule wont be good idea. She can give the interview even she doesn't have PCC at that day. Of course, she will be given 221g and would require to submit the missing doc. Once she gets the PCC, then she can submit at VFS. after that she will be granted visa 7-10 days.

Please note, you need to get PCC from passport office, and I think it shouldn't take that much time.

I hope you are aware of the Passport Seva Kendra. Please check if you have a PSK in your city, and if so, please approach the for the PCC.

I agree to what iwaiting said. I'd rather get a 221g paper and later submit the PCC. Good Luck
