PCC NOT Required at Chennai

[RajSri]

Guys I got written confirmation(Email)from Chennai embassy that PCC is not required, I will keep that copy and take to Chennai in case they ask for one at the time of interview.

And I also called Chennai and confirmed that PCC is not required if stayed only in US and India

Wake up.

They just updated their website (On this Friday). Check again. Till yesterday, according to website, no PCC required. But today it is a different story. Remember Chennai customer service did lot of goofups so far.

Folks..... better safe than sorry

I think there is no doubt regarding PCC being required from Jan. DOS and consulates/embassy in Delhi and mumbai have clearly said so. Ofcourse, Chennai has consistently said no, and haven\'t made any specific mention in pkt 4 (arguably the appointment letter suggests it is), but looks like they are waking up now, since their web site says so. The big question obviously is whether they will enforce this given that they have mentioned otherwise till date. Well, there your guess is as good as mine till people start going for the interviews and we have confirmed reports. But by then obviously it will be too late to do anything about it (if not already).

I would suggest to be on the safe side apply to the consulates here. If you had your passport renewed/issued from here, you should get it latest within a week (if you mail it), if you go in person you can get it the same day. If it hasn\'t been issued from here, then we can get a letter from them stating we have applied for it and will take x days. Combine that with the responses we have got from Chennai consulate and I would say we have a strong stance and maybe they will see sense.

Just my 2c worth....
