NVC Filers - April 2014

[Saylin 1,605]

[...]

Yeah, they filmed here in Calgary, and had to deal with horrifically cold weather for parts of it, where I think I heard they didn't even film some days due to the weather. We have had all sorts of unusual police cars driving around that are part of the filming... so weird to see a black police car here

Further to my previous update, got a checklist dated April 15th, asking for Passport Police Certificate. i am so confused. Is this a false checklist?

______10 - PASSPORT POLICE CERTIFICATE:____________________________

Indian Police Clearance Certificates should be obtained as follows:

• All Indian IV applicants aged 16 and above, residing in India, should obtain police

certificates from the local Passport Office.

• Indian passport holders applying for visas outside India should obtain a statement from their

local embassy or consulate confirming they have no criminal record.

• Non-Indian IV applicants residing in India should obtain police certificates from the District

Police Station serving their area of residence.

• Indian police certificates are not available for foreign (non-Indian) applicants applying

outside India.

As a NON- Indian residing in India, I submitted the original Police certificate obtained from the District Police station serving my area of residence. What else do they want? arghhhh!

Called NVC again, spoke with a really rude lady. She seemed really pissed off and was getting more irritated when i asked more questions. Nobody monitors their call or what? Amazing.Anyways, so finally she did confirm that i do have a case complete. Since i obtained the police certificate in Feb and its valid only for 6 months it was sort of a reminder to take the most recent police certificate for the interview. So alls well by the grace of God.

Hello,

I need some advice... I'm desperate. my pd for my husband is 3/25/2013, its been over a year. I called nvc yesterday and they said my husband received a checklist for passport police clearance... We sent them a police clearance from local police department last month beginning. I guess that's not it. I haven't received the email with the checklist, but Icalled NVC three times all three told me that my husband got a checklist for passport police clearance.. I cried so hard... I don't know what to do??? I looked how to obtain this, so my husband has to go to india to get this form from the police seve Kendra or something like that, next available apt for this process is may 13. what do we do? can I call nvc and tell them that he will bring this passport police clearance to the interview? I really need help, we are fed up with this NVC process.. please help

This might be a silly question, but if i am doing EP and I am scanning the AOS do I scan every page separately and then send it as one email or do scan each form (i864. tax return 2013, etc) as one pdf packet and then attached them into one email?

what i am trying to say is i don't really understand how I am suppose to do the email of documents. I ready the wiki and nvc website, but i stillfeel confused. please help

Too overwhelmed right now. Actually, I don't mind sharing that I am crying now as I am typing...

I am so happy that I found you guys (a very supportive family I might add). Always helpful with very clear suggestions on what to do and what not to do.

I would like to name a few people and would like to say that I am so fortunate to have you by my side helping me all the way - Saylin, Kaylara, Changnoi, NLR, BOS_LHR, Waiting____, Peace500 and many more... Please keep doing what you have done for the rest of us so tirelessly and without any personal benefit. A BIG Thank You.

Hi. I think if you ask that question in the India forum you might get better answers. In my case, i am not an Indian citizen so i had to get the police certificate from the District police serving my area. However if your husband is an Indian citizen then i believe he has to get the police clearance from the local passport office or passport seva kendra. I would request you to check the india forum as it has many topics on the same.

No harm in trying. So call NVC and discuss your case with someone who doesnt seem too rude and pissed off, explain to them if its ok to get required doc at the interview. Goodluck.

I didnt get her name. Thought of asking before finishing the call but she was already so annoyed and didnt feel comfortable asking. Must be her since shes quite famous for that.lol

OK first things first. I am assuming you are enquiring about how to obtain a PCC for your husband, right?

what do you mean you sent a police clearance from local police department? Which police department where?

Is your husband an indian citizen? where is living right now currently?

I am assuming he is an indian citizen but is not living in India currently. If that is the case, he has 3 options - First option- he needs to go to the indian consulate in whichever country you are and ask them to issue a police clearance certificate. Depending on the consulate it can take 10 days to a few months.

Second option- He doesn't need to go to india himself, if he has family or friends there. He can write an affidavit saying that XYZ will be doing this process for him, and send all the paperwork to them which includes (APPLICATION FORM, photos, and list of addresses, ofcourse his passport copy). Now here i where it gets tricky - you can either go to the local police station where your husband is from OR you can go to the passport center (BOMBAY?DELHI?CALCUTTA or CHENNAI) and do the process from there. I did the local police station and my sister did it for me. It took 3 weeks and that too because my sister was gone for a week. Best of luck

MORE importantly, you can tell the NVC that he will bring the paperwork to the interview. They generally accept that. If it is taking a long time.
