My husband and I are getting documents ready to send to nvc. On the website it says police certificate but we both remember he had to get passport clearance certificate. So can anybody answer this for us that had their interview at New Delhi embassy?

In India you only need the Passport Clearance Certificate. You can also get the Police certificate as an extra precaution.

Hi, After a long time i have seen your post again.Yes, passport police clearance PCC is the main Embassy needs.It will be added advantage if your husband will get another local police clearance certificate where he resides.In my case the Embassy asked for PCC only.I had another police certificate but the Consulate din't ask for it and when i tried to give him he said he need PCC only. My advise to you is get both it will be beneficial for both of you because your are waiting from a long time to get Visa.

.I wish all will go perfect and your husband will get visa .

Thanks so much for the reply. Yes its been a very long journey and both my husband and I are ready for it to end. I am sending him out to get this done before I pay the fees. I dont want any kind of hold up on him getting his visa and hopefully we will go to the US together after he receives his visa. I do have a question for you. I am planning on coming to India for his interview, and I want to buy a one way ticket, so we can fly home together if he is approved. Do you know if this is allowed? The refunded-able tickets are just out of my budget. My husband of course tells me not to worry about this yet but I want to be 5 steps ahead on everything.

If you planning to join him for interview, it will be too good .Delhi consulates allows Petitioner to attend interview with beneficiary.you take your passport with you that day. The consulate will ask questions from you too so be prepare and your and your husband's answers should match each others.In my case,on my interview day consulate asked some questions from my husband too.

Do you want to buy one way ticket for your husband? one way ticket is good why the return ticket? he will get Cr1 visa , one way ticket is applicable no need of return ticket.And if you want to by one way for you then i think on visit visa both way tickets are required you can check through airlines.

After visa approval on interview day embassy takes 3 to 7 working days to send the passport with visa stamp and one sealed envelope to the passport delivery center.so you calculate all the days and then book your tickets and ask the airlines before making any decision.

I was afraid they will ask me questions as well. Can you please tell me what kind of questions they asked your husband? I want to be prepared for everything.

Thanks for the reply about the ticket. I called up an airline and they said they can change the date of my return ticket for a $300 fee, which is fine.

On my interview day at Delhi embassy, the Consulate first asked me who is the petitioner,his job profile,his address about his previous marriage, what was the reason of first time visa denial,how many trips my husband made to meet me in Delhi and where he was staying? how many people attended our marriage, how many children he has from previous marriage? then the consulate started asking questions from my husband about my previous marriage,date of birth of I,the dates of all trips my husband made to meet me in Delhi. The most important question was Why he married with an Indian Girl? why specially Indian?(my husband is a white guy). Then he gave me two papers he said go and read all the information i will ask questions from all this material those papers were about how to deal domestic violence, child abuse in America.After some time he called us again but din't ask any thing gave us one yellow papers that was about the visa approval.
