Pakistani Police Cert Validity Issue

[Yushams 0]

Hi,

We have recently (March, 20th 2013) been approved (received text message & email), however not received our NOA-2 letter in hardcopy as yet. My husband is a USC and Im beneficiary in Pakistan...I was wondering if we could start working on my Police Cert immediately even though we havent been assigned NVC case number as yet? Since Pakistani Police Certs are valid upto 3 months....what if Im not given an interview date with in 3 months (from the day Police Cert was made)....does it mean I have to make Police Certs again for the interview?

Thanks in advance...

Hello,

Congratulations in coming this far...

Speaking from experience, it took my parents 3 weeks to get a police certificate in karachi and even that was done through a source.... My advice would be to start the process of obtaining a police certificate as soon as NVC assigns u a case number and informs you of your next step... I hope this helps !! Good luck

Get it done your interview should be in 3 months from now. Date on police report is not a big deal, thigs are processes slowly sometimes.

thanks Asrayub and sn530

I guess I was more concerned about the PCC getting expired till my interview...if validity of PCC doesnt matter at the Interview time....then I think I should start working on PCC immediately.

HANG ON! the validity does matter, on my fiance's police certificate it said valid for 3 months. We had to get another one made before the interview. if your next step is waiting for packet3.5 then what you can do is collect/gather the necessary documents and ensure that NVC has sent your case to the embassy. I never recieved packet 3.5 no email no mail nothing. I had to inquire. Upon inquiry they replied that we never had to wait we needed to send in the required docs and they would review and schedule the interview from there i was PISSED.

So i would recommend that you gather everything you need go to amex bank/ speedex once you have your ISL case number and send it in. That way they'll schedule a interview date.

good luck!

keep all of us AP people in your prayers...as well as other visa journey members. in sha Allah everything will be easy just pray for yourself and others as well.
