Police certificates for Delhi

[kind_heart 0]

*Can anyone please tell me when is the best time in relation to the DCF process, to get DELHI police certificates for DCF in Delhi? Is it ok to get them before I-130 filing?

*How long does it take to get them from the passport office and police in Delhi?

*Is there an expiry date on them?

Got your PM. Although, we filed DCF from Delhi, my wife is from Mumbai and so now we will be dealing with Mumbai consulate...so I am not in position to answer exactly for Delhi area.

However, in my opinion, best time to act for police certi and other stuff is right after you successfully filed DCF at delhi. That way you know that the DCF process has already started and you need to get all docs in order.

FYI, police certificate, I have heard from others, are usually valid for six months.

In mumbai, passport office gives you police certi next day once you apply and district police office gives you after one month once you apply. We are yet to receive both of them so can't answer abt expiry date on them.

Hope this helps...

Thanks Raj.

I am not worried about the passport office cert. ; it is straightforward here in Delhi too. But I am thinking about the distt. certificate.

Have you applied for the distt. police certificate in mumbai yet? If yes, can you tell me your experience; who is the guy to approach at the distt police station and what all do they ask for?

It will give me some idea for applying at Delhi.

Hey ur police certificates are needed at the time of interview. Once you have them they are valid for 1 year and

PCC from passport office is enough

We have applied at mumbai dist office since last 3 weeks and they said that they will give it after 30 days...so we still have one more week to get it .....my brother in law has applied for my wife and he has been follwing up with this. He told me that he needed to fill one printed form with all the info as part of application and may be few passsport size pics(not sure abt this pics but you do need this with passport office poilce certi application!!).

And, yes, you DO need certi from dist police office as well if your passport was issued six months ago.

Hi,

Having seen a few people apply for and get their district police certificates, as well as helping someone out in one, I can tell you that it wouldn't take you too many days to get one, really depends on the police station you apply at/amount of haggling you gotto do....probably paying some "token moeny" to get it done quick, otherwise they won't help you at all. Since I dont know anyone who did a DCF, I wouldnt know the timeline, but maybe when you know there are a few weeks off from your interview would be the best time.

If you can let me know the particular Delhi police station you would visit, I could help you better, maybe it's a police station already visited by someone here...

Thanks everyone for your replies.

TO DELHIGUY,

*I live in PITAM PURA ( Northwest Delhi), the name of the distt p.s. is Saraswati Vihar Police station.

Any experiences?

* I had a chance to look at a passport office certificate obtained by a relative, there is no expiry date on it.

Do you know when both the certificates expire?
