IndiaHelp with PCC from Surat

Hey, am not from Surat, but i recently got my PCC from Rajkot PSK; so basically its bound to be same because both the PSK fall under the Ahmedabad Passport Office.

 

The process Mr. Dipak originally posted has changed now, since there are Passport Seva Kendra which handle everything. You no longer have to visit commissioner's office cause PSK forwards your application to them. The commissioner's office then forwards it to your local police station; wherein you either have to visit them with 2 witnesses( the ones you mentioned while filling the application for pcc on http://www.passportindia.gov.in ) or a police will come to your mentioned address. They write a letter, take yours and witnesses signature, and when completed it is forwarded back to comissioner and back to PSK. 

Psk then texts/e-mail you that your PCC is ready and you have to visit PSK again ( usually after 10-15days from your first visit to psk).

You have to carry your passport and an acknowledgment letter that they give you on your first visit.

They will give you 2 same original PCC Papers ( wherein there is your picture, and a note that there is no pending case bla bla and free to travel to US); also they will stamp in your passport that on this day your were issued PCC for USA.

 

EDIT : PCC is valid for 6 months from the day it was issued.

 

Here is the process posted by another indian member and it matches with mine too! smile.png

Hope I didnt confuse you tongue.png and was helpful! biggrin.png

 

Procedure for applying PCC - (My personal experience)

 

  • Log into site http://www.passportindia.gov.in
  • Register through the Passport Seva Portal. (Click on "Register" link under the Online Application Filling section on the Home Page).
  • Login to the Passport Seva Portal with the User ID created as above
  • Click "Apply for Police Clearance Certificate" link.
  • Fill in the required details in the form and submit.
  • Choose Alternative 1
  • After filling in all the details, VALIDATE & SAVE it on your DESKTOP (its easier to upload later on)
  • Go to Alternative 1 again & select "Click here to upload the form" & upload the file you have saved on your desktop
  • Then go to Applicant Home page. Select "View Saved/Submitted Applications"
  • Select the saved application & take a printout of Application Receipt

Now with this printout you just have to walk into your nearest Passport office or Passport Seva Kendra during 9am to 11am ONLY. Take the token number & just follow the instructions. I was amazed to see the smooth process without any confusion at the Passport Seva Kendra. My nearest point was Hubli, Karnataka.  

 

Documents you need to carry is just a photocopy of your passport with your signature & your original Passport.  The fee is Rs. 500 & has to be paid at the passport office only. Just walk in with this preparation, rest they will take care of.  I had taken a copy of my NOA2 letter, but they didn't even bother to see that. I hope it helps.

Asia: SouthPolice Clearance Certificate (PCC) from Commissioners office and from PSK for Indian nationals

Awesome guide! Finally i feel like i am in the right place :)

 

I am confused by which method to get PCC. My visa file(F2A) will soon be completed at NVC and passed to Bombay Centre; and i would be required to show PCC there. So can I choose anyone method(PSK or Commissioner's Office) mentioned in the main post? Or is there a specific method for my case? Do both the ways end up at the same document required for Immigration to US ? 

 

Thanks a lot in advance, and keep up the great work! Much appreciated!! :D

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresIV Application Processing Fees

I got my AOS Invoice on 20th September, 2013; and my IV Invoice on 8th Oct,2013.

So I guess a difference of 2-3 weeks is quiet normal.
