Our CR-1 was expedited by NVC but I had to upload the files and pay.  That was all completed last Thursday and there has been no change with CEAC.  They do show that everything was submitted but CEAC still says that I need to submit files.  I'm not really sure how this expedite works or if it even does but I am getting anxious.  I have a trip planned in two weeks so I just hope everything is settled by then.  I don't expect to interview until next month but I want it set and scheduled so the stress is lessened.

 

I'm still waiting since last Monday for a interview date

Hi Guys! Our payment is done:) onto the next step !! Had small query regarding PCC from india.. i was in states from 2014 mid of 2017.. for my higher studies and then a job.. moved back to india in 2017...however my permanent address is always been my home address currently residing and passport says the same ... i was wondering since one of the criteria says if lived in another country for 12 months or more then i need to get PCC from states as well?

are you referring to the USA as states? If yes, there is no pcc required for time spent in usa.

But I am baffled by your logic though, just because your passport has your home address which is your permanent address is not a means for finding out whether you need pcc or not. For example, if you had lived in Hong Kong for an year, obviously your passport would still have your permanent address in India. But you would have still required the PCC from Hong Kong.

Thank you for your response.. :) was helpful..

apologies if i confused with my post... just wanted to make sure that i am on right track... just had my police verification... the guy asked me from how long am I residing at my current address which is since birth except the 3 years i was in usa. So basically my certificate would say i am residing that my current address since 199X till date..  so wanted to make sure the same .

Did you get your police clearance certificate from the passport office in India? This is what the travel.state.gov website says for indian residents:

 

Indian Police Clearance Certificates should be obtained as follows:

  • All Indian nationals aged 16 and above, residing in India, should obtain police clearance certificates from the Regional Passport Office.
