Hi sba.rsa,

Are you located in India as of now?

Which all places have you been resided till now in india?

Could you please share checklist that nvc forwarded you for police clearance certificate?

Have you already got your police clearance certi?

If yes from where?

I am in USA, my Hubby is the one who is getting Visa, and he is still in India.

The "checklist" was a letter from NVC stating that they need police certificate for the IV package. It wasn't a checklist per se, it was a letter.

My Hubby got Police Certificate from his town, he is now in the process of getting it from Chandigarh (sometimes the crowds are quite busy!)

I will try my level best to give you as much information as i can to make this clear. I know it looks like very complicated process to obtain PCC from india but its not. Its very easy as long as you follow the right process.

If the person obtaining the PCC has lived in multiple states/towns, he/she does not have to obtain the PCC from every state/town. You only need to get the PCC from the current state you are living in. (I lived in 5 different states but only had to get the PCC from the state i was residing at that time).

Just go to the nearest Regional Passport Office and ask them what is the procedure to get PCC.

In some states, they require you to have some sort of proof that you really need PCC. I am from Gujarat and i know there they do. In other states (Mumbai, Bangalore etc.) they do not require any proof that you really need PCC. They will issue the PCC on the same day or probably in a week or so.

Now if your passport has address from state A and you live in state B, you do not need to get PCC from state A. You are only required to collect the PCC from state B. Your passport address does not matter. What matters is where you live right now. ( My passport had Gujarat address but i was living in Bangalore at the time and it took me 3 days to get the PCC stamped on my passport)

There are two different types of PCC. One from Local Police Station and another one from Local Passport Office. You do not need to obtain PCC from Local Police Station (its a different process and takes longer time).

If the address on your passport does not match the current address and you apply the PCC at Regional Passport Office, they will send the inquiry to your Local Police Station. When the form comes to the Local Police Station, they come to your house and ask around. They will send the form back to the Passport Office and it will be processed and your PCC will be ready to be picked up. You can request them expedite the whole process if your interview date is very close by showing them your interview letter. You may have to carry the form around to get the required signatures. (I know some people who had to do that)

When you get your PCC from RPO (Regional Passport Office), they will issue the certificate on Paper and will also put a stamp on your passport.

Just remember to carry some sort of Address Proof when you apply for the PCC from Regional Passport Office.

When you go the page, answer the question as per your status and it will show you what kind of Address Proof is accepted.

I tried to edit the post again but the whole post i made can be summerized in one short line "Just go to the nearest Regional Passport Office and ask them what is the procedure to get PCC."
