Hi Ashish,
I am planning to go in for Ac140 at New Delhi can you please share your experience with me i.e the processes involved, the paper work needed, the kind of questions asked etc.
{Research the forum with some key word like 'AC-140' or
'New Delhi' to get tons of information regarding the process
and other details. }
Would also request you to let me know wether we need we need one Police Clearence certificate or two i.e one from India and one from the Indian Consulate in the US.
{While this information is also available here in the forum,
I will clarify.
If you and your dependents are current residents of US then
you need 1 PCC from the local Indian Consulate. This PCC
covers your stay in India from the time you attained the
age of 16 years.
You do not need a PCC from any US authorities for your stay
in US.
Children below the age of 16 years do not need PCC.
Keep in mind the current validity period of 6 months for the
PCC before you decide on when you apply for it. It will
normally take 40 days or so to get this from the consulate.
(look up the website(s) of Indian Consulates for specific
information) }
thanks

In my case, my wife had passport made less than SIX months, so i didn't care abt her PCCs (both).
I really hav no idea wht triggered immigration officer to do extra admin processing.
1. lack my PCC issued from indian embassy in USA (they say it's same as PCC from india)?
2. Lack for local police PCC for my wife though she has passport recently made?
3. I showed them couple of loose marriage pics, were they expecting good big album?
4. My wife wore simple casual wearing of clothes, not too professional or too recently married stuff?
I had my W2s and employer's financial docs. but DC didn't ask for those, so i didn't give him these docs. Should I hav volunteered myself providing those docs?
