Quite a smooth experience. Long waits for some people. We got the invitation as soon as PD became current for the next month.

I am in a similar situation but I am hearing conflicting view points. As per one thread I have been informed this is not allowed. Here is my time line Here is the sequence 1) I lived in Canada completed my residency requirements for citizenship and then applied while living in Canada for...

Customs after consulate interview I am trying to get some details on goods to follow after the interview is done and your passport is stamped with I-551. When we "land" in US for the first time, do we have to declare all our goods to follow? Or can that be done later. We live across the border...

I have been living and working in the US for 8+ years. I am an Indian Citizen and have completed my MS from here too. In the past I have obviously taken tests such as GRE, TOEFL, GMAT. I have seen the Australian immigration links and it says that only citizens of coutries such as...

I can answer your third question. when does your passport expire? It needs to be valid at least for 6 months after, I believe. Did you call NVC and ask?

What do I need to do to obtain a Police Clearance Certificate from India? I live in Canada, but the Indian Consulate at Toronto is being a pain in the a$$$. I would need to make a trip to Toronto to show them the original passport. They would not even agree to do the processing based on copy...

Hi Congratulations!! May I ask was the PCC in India accepted by the consulate? How long did it take to get the PCC in India? I am also not sure how you were not asked for your Indian PCC when you sent the docs to NVC. Did you not have to get a PCC from the Indian consulate in the US before you...

Ok, thank you for your response. Don't the rules say consulate can be your country of citizenship OR country of last residence?

I am a Canadian PR living in Canada and applied for US PR, consular processing at Montreal. Am I required to be living in Canada to be eligible to go to Montreal for CP? Assuming I maintain my Canadian PR, is it not possible to be living in the US while I request CP at Montreal? (I am an Indian...

Parth Looks like we are in a similar situation. I have PM'd and sent you an email. Please respond and we can keep in touch. Thanks

Thanks we got the PCC from the Toronto consulate in our case and not the Indian passport office due to the same reasons. However the big question is usually all police certificates expire at the end of 1 yr. The question I have is will we need to get Indian PCC again after the 1 yr expiration...

Thank you for the response. But I am not sure that answers my question. I have not lived in India since 1998. I have a PCC that covers me for before 1998. Since I have not lived in India from 1998 (specifically recently, after the getting the PCC last year), I was told we may not need to get new...

My PD is now current with Aug bulletin. I am a CP case. Last year NVC had sent us a request to send the documents which we did but there were some missing information. Before we could resubmit, the dates became unavailable due to the fiasco with the July bulletin and hence they wouldnt accept...

Thanks, but which PCC are you referring to? I am okay with getting RCMP again but does the same apply to Indian PCC too? We have been hearing through our lawyers that since you have not lived in India for more than 6 months you don't need to reapply for Indian PCC, can you confirm that piece?

I am now eligible for the final step in the consular processing based on EB2 dates for India. I live in Canada right now and have not lived in India for many years. I had a couple of questions about PCC. 1. I have a canadian PCC that was taken june last year. Will I need new ones to submit...
