Hi all Successfull CP\'ers:
I have a question about immigration clearance at the Indian Airports. I was leaving from Mumbai and the Immigration officer made my life miserable by asking me for a PCC. He said I need a PCC as I am going away from this country (India) permanently. I tried to show him the PCC that I obtained from the local police station (actually from Commissioner\'s office), but he said no to that and asked for PCC on the passport. After about 20 minutes and showing my visa packet and passport to 2/3 other officers he started asking me that what should be done and that too he was smiling (I felt he wanted money for this !!!). I requested him to let me go and then after sometime he did let me go, but he literally made me feel that I am not boarding the flight.
So my question is, did you ever face this problem? Do you know of any such requirement of giving PCC or Income Tax clearance or something before immigrating to this country? I am talking about people who were in US on H1 and coming back after CP.
Please post your replies.
