My first PCC was set to not clear due to address issue (postal application), so I had to submit a second application (in person).
In my experience application submitted in person are way faster as compared to online.
Posting my timeline here:
April 27, 2023 : Submitted my file in person at BLS Surrey
April 28, 2023 : Status updated to In transit from BLS to Consulate General
May 1, 2023: Police verification has been inititated
May 2, 2023: Police rep came home and did the verification (Chandigarh)
May 3, 2023: Midnight status updated to PCC is clear and available for issuance
Waiting now.. My deadline to submit my PR file is May 28th So, I am a bit too worried about the printing timelines for it..Hoping it is printed soon!
