Hi,
Has anyone recently applied for PCC in person in Chicago. Can I get it back the same day if both me and my wife got our passports while living in the US? Also, do both of us have to be there?
Hi,
Me and my wife got our PCC from Chicago 2 weeks back. We submitted our application at noon and got the PCC by 3:30pm.
Whether you will get it on the same day depends on your police verification status. I had my passport renewed by Chicago consulate in 2016 where as my wife still has her passport issued in India.
When you enter the Consulate, the person at the reception desk checks your passport and takes a print out of your profile from their database.
If your police verification status is okay the person at the reception will give you a token number and send you to the next window.
If not he will let you know that you cannot get your PCC the same day.
I think having a passport issued by them should mean that your police verification status is up to date, but I am not 100% sure about it.
The only way to be fully sure is to go there and check for yourself.
Another option might be you can call them and based on your passport number they can tell whether you can get PCC on same day.
It's a long shot but you can try.
Cheers!
