Thanks for responding johnysyk ...most people have had the same experience as you .My brother sister had applied for PCC's previously but didn't have any hassle. Their situation is the same. My parents are still in Dubai but my dad still owns the place in Mumbai If residence verification was a concern for fraud details they should have done it during passport renewal and not now!!!!I am so upset and this is the last document pending .I managed to get PCC from UK and UAE without any hassle!!!!Every case is different. In my case, though my passport was not issued from Dubai, the full process took only 5 days including CGI approval and final PCC issue from CGI though BLS. However, in your case, this is perhaps why they want to verify the address. Does your family live in the permanent address? They probably need to ensure that you haven't given some fake address considering that you are born and living in Dubai.
