Anyone here who recently got a PCC from India ?

[iamwhatiam80 92]

Folks,

Its been over a month since my wife applied for a PCC in India from the PP office. No sign of any approval. Tracker still says you will get email/sms.

Anyone here who recently applied for PCC in India and how long it took ?

Answers are much appreciated. Thanx.

It should not take that long. How did your wife apply and at which passport office? Typically you fix an appointment at http://passportindia.gov.in/AppOnlineProject/online/pccOnlineApp and generally after one week you take your ID and go to the passport office and get the PCC.

She applied from one of the PSK in Hyderabad. Yes all that online stuff and appointment. She is done with that. The police verification was done 10 days back. When she applied, she was told to come when she gets an email/sms.

Do you suggest that she walk in there and try to see if its lying there ? With Indian paperwork system, things are very complicated and not straightforward.

Agreed. It would be wise to go to the passport office and check on the PCC.

Thanx again. I will tell her to try that.

Congratulations on getting the visa for your wife. We kind of have the same background. Both of us were divorced as well.

Its strange that my wife has her interview in New Delhi. I thought it would be Bombay coz Hyderabad has its IV center as Bombay.

Did your wife had to get another PCC before the interview ( from the commissioner ) or the PCC in the NVC stage is enough ?

Thanks. When i asked the NVC rep about Mumbai being the location for interview than New Delhi, she told me that the location of the interview is based on distance from Applicant's home address. So in our case wife lives in chennai and mumbai is closer than Newdelhi. It made sense. Same logic does not apply to your case so i have no idea why it is NewDelhi for your wife.

Wife got her PCC from the passport office for NVC in October 2013. Even though the I/L did not say to get a new PCC(from the passport office) for her interview on Feb 2014, i asked her to get another one so that she has a latest copy for her interview(Just in case). She did get one around Jan 15th and apparently no docs(PCC, Evidence) were asked during her VISA interview.

We are in Bangalore and are expecting to have to go to Mumbai for interview, does this mean that maybe we might go to Delhi?

Will I be allowed in with my hubby when he goes for interview? I heard Mumbai its not allowed?

Depends on the NVC case number. If your case number starts with BMB its Mumbai. Its true that they don't allow the petitioner inside the consulate at Mumbai and i was there with my wife in the line on Feb 3rd during her interview outside the consulate. They did not let me in and allow only the beneficiary/applicant.

My wife's sister lives in Mumbai. It would have been so convenient for her. Oh well. Thats life i guess.

Another PCC. Holy cow!!!! We dont want to deal with them again.

I heard in New Delhi they allow the petitioner in. Your case will start with NWD if its in Delhi.

It wasn't a big deal to get another PCC from the chennai passport office. Well organized and wife had no issues.

My wife got hers in two weeks. I think she should inquire with them why its taking so long.

i would suggest you to check with the police station first, if her papers have moved from there.

I got my PCC in two months time since it was lying at the police station even after verification.
