PCC at interview

[Siddsgal 80]

Has anyone had any experience with presenting an expired PCC at visa interview cuz their new one hasn’t arrived yet? 
We were only given 2.5 weeks notice for his IR1 interview and he needed a new PCC but after a week his application is still sitting at police station and his interview is on Feb 4th. 
Will they allow him inside with an expired PCC and just give him a 221 & he can give them his new PCC when he gets it or do they not even let you inside without a current PCC?

We were told it’s only for diversity visa that it’s valid for 2 years. 🤔

We will be contacting them about this for sure!

Your first statement is not true as far as I am aware. But they should be able to confirm.

See if you can reach out for the PCC again and tell them it's urgent. I think the worst that can happen is the 221 g, but something to avoid after all this time
