PCC is valid for only 6 months. I got it from Houston in November and It will expire in May.
I will have to take new PCC when i go for interview. I believe Houston should issue me PCC in a day because i did not go out of the country after taking first one. Any thoughts ??

PCC issued is generally, valid for 6 months. HOwever the whole PCC referral is valid for 1 yr so you could get the PCC in a day from the Indian consulate within that referral period. If you are beyond the referral period of 1Yr then consulate has to redo the referral which typically takes 40 days back again.
The last I heard the chances of it getting through is low.

I read there is a bill about to be passed in congress to re-capture unused visa numbers and if this bill is passed (expected at the end of April), visa retrogression will be lifted.

Yes. You have to use Miscellaneous form.
1) Copy of Passport (They took first page only)
2) Miscellaneous Form for PCC
3) 1 passport size photograph
4) Copy of H1-B status
5) Copy of H1-B visa
6) you could call them or check their site about fee. I remember we paid 11.0$ *2 + courier fee(around 15$)
Let me know if you have any questions.

So We don't need to send original passport. Please clear that.

Did you contact the consulate to check if this was ok? I do not know if they:
a) Do not mind if it exceeds a little as in your case?
b) Failed to notice in your case and you got lucky?
Thanks

How long is a U.K. police certificate valid for?
For the purposes of applying for the immigrant visa, twelve months from the date of issuance.
Appan,
I have different info from the consulate. In an e-mail reply, they told me that it was 6 months. However, Page 2 of http://usembassy.state.gov/mumbai/wwwfpacketa.pdf indicates that it is "one year from the date of issuance".
