Guys,
Assuming the PCC is valid for one year, I have obtained PCC for myself and my wife in October 2002.
Not true anymore due to heightened security measures.
I have sent a mail to Chennai Consulate and got reply saying that PCC is valid for 6 months from the date of issue.
PCC valid for 6 months ONLY. This statement is true for Chennai, Mumbai and Delhi US Consulates also.
I booked my tickets to Hyderbad, India on 6th May to start (with a hope that Interview will be in the second half of May)
I am in a dilemma as to re-applying for PCC this week. If I do not get PCC and Passport back before May 4th, I just cannot travel. My passports are going to be struck with embassy.
Just send a copy of the passoprt at this time. Travel personally to the Indian Consulate in Houston, Texas, once they are ready to stamp your passport (Expensive option in terms of travel, but more satisfying and less heartburns/anxious moments). Second option is to FedEx ONLY (best tracking info) your passport (both ways) and get the stamp, if possible, before your trip to India. Third option PCC from Indian Passport office (lubricate the system, so that your case moves faster).
What situation are you guys in with regard to PCC? Any suggestions?
Three suggestions listed in the answer to your earlier question.
Thanks,
