From my understanding you get both a letter/certificate, and a stamp. Did you get your PCC yet?

Hie queuedup

I got it done but have just got a stamp on my passport so was confused if its ok/enough or not..
i have got it done thru an agent so was not very sure..

My wife and my father-in-law were there this morning as well. They actually went to Gandhinagar, and the guy said I won't do it until the local collector signs it. So they went back home and to the local collector, who said I don't have the authority to do this, I have faxed a letter to the head office and am waiting for a response, btw there are 15 other cases like your pending because of this issue. Talk about process inefficiencies!!!

See i have been going to the passport office since last 10 days and what i have understood is that every one working there are stupid baffonsss. so there is no point wasting time with them or contacting the local collector..
still if u want u can ask ur wife to visit the local collector office first its located opposit to the RTO office. and she may meet the PA to the collector and get it signed from him and take the envolope and go to gandhinagar sector 11 and again get it signed there. and let me tell you for this process tooo she will have to bribe them.
or else what u can do is tell ur wife to contact the agent and pay him 2500 and get the things done.
if u want the contact number of the agent to whome i have given the doc i can provide u the same.
i will suggest dont waste the time just give it to the agent.

Yet another failed attempt!!! This time the wanted some sort of verification from Gandhinagar....why is this such a pain?!?!?!

Yes i know this ppl have started something new.. they want us to get our local pcc verified by the collector local as well as gandhinagar..
today i went to the passport office and had a big fight about the pcc issue. but the ultimate result was not what i wanted...
ultimattely i had to do what i didt wanted to.. as after all the time loss is ours in the fight..
so i approched a agent sitting outside the passport office and agreed to pay him Rs2500 and he said he will get every thing done by wednesday.

hie all
i have found out some facts about the process of getting PCC from the passport office.
on the website www.passport.gov by ministry of external affairs they have nowhere mentioned that we need to subbmit the interview call letter for getting the PCC done. sending u the link for the same.
https://passport.gov...Certificate.htm.

the staff at the passport office told me that they wont issue me the PCC till i provide the Interview letter. now as per the rules i can get the Interview call only after i subbmit the PCC to the immigration department.
And the worse part is that the local so called agents sitting outside the passport office told that they will get the PCC without any kind of documents provided i pay them Rs 4000

So it seems that the agents has more authority/knowledge/what not then the people appointed in the passport office.
i have already sent a complaint mail to rpo.ahmedabad@mea.gov.in and m awaiting the reply..
i m gonna fight for it.

Hie all,
I had some doubts about the Police Clearance Certificate.
The web site suggests that we should obtain police certificates from the local Passport Office.
I live in Ahmedabad, India.
i have already obtained a Police Clearance Certificate from the District Police Office. And today i went to the local passport office for the PCC but they said that to get the PCC from Passport Office i need to have the Interview call Letter then and then they will be able to get the PCC done. Now the question is how will i get the interview call before i send the Police Clearance Certificate to NVC? Or is the Police Clearance Certificate from the District Police Office enough for sending to NVC?
I dont want to take any chance so pls suggest what should i do??

Secondly me being the BENEFICIARY

1) Marriage certificate
2) Police Clearance Certificate
3) birth certificate
4) passport biographic page
5) 4 Passport size photos

These are the only documents i need to send to NVC correct?
and do i need to send the Original documents or the notarized photo copy should be fine?

And do we need to send my wife's (PETITIONER) birth cirtificate?
as we have her birth cirtificate in our regional language.
i have already got it translated by a local lawyer and got it notarized. now while sending the same do we need to attache the copy of the birth cirtificate in our regional language?

Dear VJ members please be kind enough to help me out in clearing all my doubts..
as i said I dont want to take any chance and i dont want any RFE. so please suggest...

Awaiting replys

All the best to all the VJ members...

My spouse tried to get a PCC from Ahmedabad Passport Office, the security guard did not let them in. They said that you will need an appointment letter, my spouse showed them a copy of DS-230 cover sheet but they did not agree. I called NVC and they are saying that you will need a PCC with your DS-230. Luckily, I have my K-3 moving at the same time so when I get the appointment letter for K-3 I can get a PCC. But if had not filed for K-3 then this would have caused a problem. I don't know if anyone has faced this problem.

Yash_ash,
My wife had same problem, they let her in but wanted to see appointment letter so, my wife told them we can not get appointment letter until we submit all the required documents to NVC and PCC from passort office is one of the document that we have to submit. Then I called DHS @ 202-663-1225 and lady told me I can go ahead submit district police office pcc @ NVC and submit pcc from passport office at the time of interview. So, lets see what happens. You might want to confirm this with DHS.

Good luck!

My wife had two problems:

1) They need a interview appointment letter
2) Her passport name needs to change so her middle name is my first name.

Apparently new rules were passed in last 15 days. NVC is aware of the first rule change but not the second. I just spoke with NVC and they said you can submit just a police certificate for DS 230 and obtain the passport clearance after the interview date is set and take it with you to the appointment. Has anyone had issues with rule #2? It seems soo stupid to force her to change her name. Please help...

Have you appointer a attorney for your case???

but now i have approched the media and and m gonna give him a hard time as i have seen the web site of the external affairs ministry and even they dont have any rules which Mr antani is asking ppl to follow.

Congrats! Mind if I ask what the RFE's were for???

Hie thanx a lot to all of you...

ABENITZ.
The first RFE was for the documents to be sent with DS 230.
my lawyer just sent the DS 230 form and not the documents along with the form.

second was for the Local police clearence certificate. though we had already given it to the lawer he never sent it to nvc he just sent the Police clearence certi from the passport office..

and the last was for the visa PHOTO. lawyes just sent 1 Photo... so we had to face all this 3 RFE for no fault of us... the only fault was that we had appointed a lawyer on our case....

i strongly suggest to every one that never ever get a lawyer...
1 as they always play aroung with your case. and 2 as nvc process is really very simple so we can do it our self without any problem...

I just called up NVC and was informed that case is completed as of yesterday. I cant believe it. It was a long long wait.
I agree with Waheed on the issue about appointing an attorney.
One should never use attorney.. i have a very bad experience with the attorney..
our case was at NVC on 01/13/2009 and has completed on 05/11/2009. and its all cause of our attorney.
they always stick to der own mindset and do not work towards getting things move faster.
and the worst part is inspite on havein a attorney we had to face 3 RFE. and all of those for his fault. we had given all the needed documents to him on 01/16/2009. still we had to face all this...

Any ways... Now the case is COMPLETED.....
I cant expect to get the interview in JUNE as i believe NVC has already scheduled the interview for JUNE. I thing i miss'd by few days...
never the less
i am so happy atlist the case is completed now.....

pcc in india

QUOTE (rr1710 @ May 14 2009, 06:18 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>

If any indian member has a problem to get police clearence certificate from ahmedabad passport office recently because they asking now visa appoitment letter

Hie rr1710,

If you have other documents ready pls send your DS-230 to the nvc and do not wait for the PCC from passport office. as nvc just wants the PCC from the local police authority.
see let me explain you. with ds 230 send the original birth cirti ,mrge cirti, pcc from local police authority, and 2 visa pic . thats it. and your case will be completed and then you can carry the PCC from the passport office at the time of interview at mumbai.
Would like to add one more thing.. are you in ahmedabad or is it ur wife..
if its ur wife who is trying to get the PCC done then the passport office will first aske her to get ur name added on her passport.

and as far as changing name is concerned pls do not worry at all. as i have already told you the passport office will give the old passport back to ur wife which has her maden name which u have given in the immigration forms. and even in the new passport the passport office will clearly mention that the old passport has been cancelled and returned and will also mention the old passport in herr new passport.
for eg her old passport number was E 123456789. then in her new passport it will be printed that old passport E 123456789 has been cancelled and returned. so all ur wife needs to do is at the time of interview she needs to carry both the passport old as well as new. i hope this has cleard ur doubts.
do not worry at all. go ahead and ask ur wife to chang the name in the passport. as without doing so this ahmedabad passport office wont issue the PCC>

and ya 1 important thing. when you send u the original ppc issued by the police dept pls get 3 colour copy of the same as at the time of pcc from passport office they will ask for original ppc issued by the police dept. so if you have the colour copy all you is go the shahibaug police office and get the copy signed by the inspector and it will be as good as original and the passport office will accept the same. i did the same.

Hope this'll help....
