Hello chsurti
Thanks for the response, yes I am thinking of using notarized copies of my transcripts. Unfortunately there is no one in Pune who can help me on this.
Abt PCC -
It took 2weeks to get from FBI, 3 days from current State(Oregon), 1 week from NH, just sent to NJ(should be getting by 10th july, I have written a letter to them and mentioned the reason and date by which I need), 2 weeks from IL.
For India , I got it from my local verification cell (DCP/CBI office), I did not apply from Indian consulate (i heard it takes @ 45 days and you have to send your passport, in my case SFO is the Indian consulate).
For your IELTS, I would say don;t take chance, you will not like to see any issues just becoz of not giving this exam. YOu can not sure how the IO/VO will look at your english language capabilities without IELTS. I have my IELTS exam tomorrow.
Good Luck,
