PCC Problem - Ahmedabad India

[LateComer 0]

Hello friends.......

anyone in the same boat as I am or any advice.........

I have paid my IV Bill online and my wife went to get the PCC from passport office. She had to go through the local District office to get the paper before she can get the PCC from passport office.

Passport office is now asking for a checklist document from NVC that states the requirement of the PCC........

How do I get this checklist....... should I call NVC operator or just wait for the checklist???

Thanks in advance

Checklist can be obtained from the us consulate website. The checklist is basically packet 3/4 which now can be downloaded from the website. It lists all required for nvc and interview. Goodluck.

When they say checklist it's not same as the one that you get in paket 3. They are actually asking for RFE. PCC from Passport office is not required to be subemitted to NVC, they know that Ahmedabad people ask for inverveiw letter to issue passport office PCC. You can submit your IV package with PCC from DSP's office and say in your cover letter that PCC from Passport office will be shown during intverview.

Yes, psp312 is right. i submitted just local DSP PCC copy and said passport PCC will be brought at interview. NVC approved and completed the case without any problem. SO send in your D 230 with your documents and DSP PCC copy now. Don't worry about passport PCC to NVC now. But remember to keep original DSP PCC with you as Ahmedabad passport office will require to see it before they will issue their PCC. SO send in Certified true copy of DSP PCC instead of original, that's what I did and NVC competed the case. Waiting for interview date now.

One more question........ how long does it take to get the PCC from passport office once you submit the documents to them????

The only thing Ahmedabad passport office really wants to see is any letter of NVC that has been addressed to th ebeneficiary in India. If in India, your spouse has received any letter with her Indian address, she can apply for passport PCC. But if you all have is US address on NVC letter, then they want either checklist or interview letter and that too with Indian address on it not US address.

My wife applied for passport PCC and after all documents were Wednesday, and she received her PCC Monday. SO it takes about 4-5 days at most, atleast for US.

I DON'T KNOW YOU KNOW OR NOT. BUT AHMEDBAD PASSPORT OFFICE REQUIRES MARRIED PASSPORT WHEHTER HUSBAND OR WIFE BEFORE PCC IS ISSUED. If wife passport is still in father's name, they will NOT issue PCC no matter how much you argue. if your husband passport do not indicate his wife name, they will NOT issue PCC. So make sure wife and husband passport whichever is married passport.

But for NVC process now, submit your original documents, DS 230 Part I and II and certified true copy of DSP passport PCC to speed up process. if your case gets completed before June 15, you may well be at a chance of late July or in August interview. Remember you need to also send in photocopies of all documents with originals to NVC with your DS 230.

I have an issue with the PCC requirement as my wife is currently out of India visiting her parents. Her locality is South India and I was wondering if it is possible for us to get the PCC from the Passport Office, use that to fulfill the NVC PCC requirement and state in the cover letter to the NVC that we will submit the regional PCC during the interview. Or is it not possible to obtain a PCC from the Passport Office without a regional PCC?

Thanks!

I'm reviving this old thread to ask about the specifics of getting a local PCC from a police station in Ahmedabad, Gujarat.

My wife inquired at a local police station there and they said to follow these steps:

1) go to shahibag police station

2) take 3 true copies of your passport, photos, and original passport

3) they give you a paper

4) go to local area police station (maninagar in my case)

5) take witness and their ID and residence proof, and give the paper from shahibag

6) they do the inquiry and send the report to shahibag

7) shahibag station gives you PCC!!!

Does this sound right? Has anyone experience this process? How long does it take to get the PCC?

I haven't seen the details of this procedure posted anywhere, so I hope this helps someone.
