Hi VM1214,
Please refer to my original post in page 2 of this thread.
I was in USA from July-1998 to May-2004. I have been waiting in AOS stage(I-485) since last 2 yrs. I came to Mumbai on a pre-planned trip during May'04. Before coming to India, I had requested my attorney to send papers to Mumbai consulate for AC140. I didn't have time to get the PCC from Indian consulate in USA.
After reaching Mumbai, I came to know that, US consulate in Mumbai has accepted my case and have issued a case# and that my interview is likely to be held in August.
So I went to the regional passport office here in Mumbai and got a PCC. They just took one day to give me a PCC as my passport was issued in Mumbai during 1996.
After reading the local PCC requirements in this forum, I approached the CID special branch (behind times of India building) an dthey said that, they can't give me a Local PCC as I am here in India only since last one month. They will accept applications, only if the stay here in Mumbai is more than one year. That has also been mentioned in their PCC application form. I then called US consulate here and told them my story. They told me not to worry (their question after listening to my story was.... "so whats the problem" ) and that, I don't need a PCC from local police(CID special branch) and the PCC from regional passport office is sufficient.
Well, thats what they told me over phone. They never replied back to my email. I am not sure, if they will create problem during interview though.
Hope I have clarified it now.
