PCC Experience - Indian Consulate NY & FBI

[sachin80]

Hi All,

I recently got the PCC done from Indian consulate NY and FBI and wanted to share experiences.

India Consulate
1) I took the documents listed on the website and it was a seamless process.
2) Please take exact change as per your needs - This will help get this done faster.
3) The only problem was that there was only 1 person working so long queue but everybody got what they needed by the 12-1 pm timeframe that they had mentioned.

FBI
1) Went to the local police department for finger printing. Mine was done fine but the person notified that my wife's finger printing were not captured 100% correct. So she suggested just to be double sure you can get this done at the another office which had a better machine. Went there are got the finger printing done.
Over there they mentioned that if there was any issue, we could notify them and they could send it electronically as well to FBI.
2) Logged in to the https://www.edo.cjis.gov/#/ and submitted the details online. Please ensure the details given while taking finger printing and online form match exactly.
3) Sent the finger printing form and the email confirmation received for the online form thru courier.
4) The docs reached on Friday morning and by evening had my report in mailbox. Now waiting to get that in mail.

Regards,
Sachin.

As far as i know - The PCC is not for a specific time period. It is just a simple police verification certificate. So I would say that it should not matter that you travelled to India. They would issue the certificate to show the status as of the date when you apply there.

That's correct, PCC is not issued for a particular time period. They just put a stamp in one of the pages in your passport indicating (along the lines) that your record is clean and there is no objection from indian consulate for you immigrating to canada.
