Police Clearance Certificate After one week of calls and visits to local passport office, I finally received the fresh PCC. I was able to expedite the process from India. The passport officer in Trichy, TN, India was very helpful in this.

Thanks all for the clarification. Puliraju, It is a great news that you have received it in three days. Unbelievable! Congrats!

Raju, NY consulate was not convinced with my explanation. I had to reapply for the new PCC. But the consulate did give me a reference number for my case the next day with which I can follow up in India. But today I received another email from consulate for my question about PCC validity...

CP Fees Do I need to take a proof for the fees paid during packet 3 process? My attorney is saying that he has already paid the $335 while filing packet 3. Did anyone carry a proof for this? Would the consulate ask me a proof for this? Please let me know. Thanks.

My brother visited the consulate and tried to convince them. The people who are dealing with the PCC informed us that they cannot re-issue PCC. Only way is to apply for a new one and then expedite from India. I will update about the proceedings anyway. Thanks all.

Does anyone know if we have to take state tax return copies too or just the federal copy? Please let me know. Thanks.

dmn1, I have emailed you regd. this. Thanks.

PCC I have the same problem with PCC. My date is even closer. From my experience, for the first step which is verification with Indian Authorities, you can send copies of your passport. Then after 45 days ( that is what consulate says) , but actually in two or three weeks , you can check...

PCC I will visit consulate on Monday. But wanted to update some other info. Indian consulate in NY has told me that I can apply with them and then expedite the process from Indian local passport office. Chennai Consulate replied me for my question if I can get a PCC from India saying ...

PCC cpDelhi, I called Indian Consulate in New York today ( that is where I got it on July ) . They are saying that I have to go thro' the whole process again and it will take 45 days or so. Is it advisable to get it from India as it looks like faster than getting it here in US? Please...

cpDelhi, I saw your reply in another thread stating that PC is valid for only 6 months. I got mine on July 31st. My interview is on April 22. Do I need to get it again since it becomes the seventh month on April?? Do I have to go thro' the whole process once again? Please let me know. Thanks.

Raju, The Petitioner is my HR Manager. You are right. Getting it from the HR manager makes sense. Thank you for the advice. Also do I have to take a Sailing Permit as mentioned in immihelp.com. Please advise. Thanks.

One more question. How old can the employment letter be? I got my reference letter notarized today ( 3/24) for the interview on 4/22 , ie. almost one month old. Is this fine or do I have to take a new one before leaving on 4/11? Please let me know. Thanks.

Does anyone have any idea as to who needs to sign the employment letter and notarize it - either the HR recruiter or the Manager/Director? Please let me know. In my office, always the HR recruiter gives me a reference letter. Is that okay? Thanks.

I am considering British Airways from NJ to Chennai. Also I am planning to fly on April 11th. Do you know the fares for British Airways by any chance?
