interview @ chennai Aug 2 / update

[radkri 0]

Congrats on your visa!!! Thanks a lot for the guidance Ram!

Hello everybody,

My wife got the visa in her hand on Monday evening (8/6) and she will be flying out on early hrs of 8/8 to join me.

Thank you.

Radkri - Two steps to get the PCC

1. If the issue date of passport is within 6 months from the interview date, clearance from the passport office is sufficient. Visit the passport office. They have a form for this and will give it in a day or 2

2. PCC from local district office. You have to find out which police station / commissioner's office has jurisdiction over your place. In addition to showing them the interview letter, we had to write a cover letter explaining why we need the PCC. This can take up to 7 days to get.

For Andhra Pradesh, they had to get an OK from Hyderabad office before they issued the PCC in Vizag.

Hope this helps.

Hi Eileen,

Thanks.

You are correct that the PCC is issued in Vizag only. When we asked for an explanation of why it took 7 days to get a PCC, they explained that they had to get some clearance from Hyderabad.

After they get that clearance, they will issue it in Vizag.

Sort of roundabout but thats ok...

And one more thing....I read about your chanting Vishnu Sahasrnama on one of the other threads...

No words but to bow in respect and my salutations and best wishes to both of you.

Regards

Ram

Thanks Rams. :-) I stayed at one ashram in India for 7 years doing seva, that is where daily I would join the others chanting Vishnu Sahasranama, Hanuman Chalisa, Annapurneswari Stotram, Bhagavad Gita parayana etc. It was great!

Just answer the truth in short sentences! No need to add a lot of details or words, unless asked. They are very busy at the Consulate and they just want to confirm that info provided on the petition (given by your spouse) is the same as your answers.
