How much time is given by Buffalo to submit Police Clearance Certificates ?

[indusvision]

Hi All,

How much time Buffalo visa office gives to let the applicant submit Police Clearance Certificates?

We all know that it normally takes 4 to 6 weeks to get a fresh Police Clearance Certificate. On the other hand, I know that Buffalo office needs police clearance certificates not older than 3 months ... therefore I have to wait until I receive a letter from Buffalo office requesting Police Clearance Certificates ... and then I apply for it ... but to be on the safe side, I want to know how much time is provided by the Buffalo office to the applicant to submit the fresh Police Clearance Certificates.

Thanks,
Indus

Don't wait for the request, get the PCCs now. It will save you a lot of time.

Hi PMM,

Thanks for the reply.

Just to clarify one point ... if I get the PCCs now and the Buffalo office requests the PCCs after three months ... will I have to get new PCCs again (as Buffalo office seems to require the PCCs to be recently issued, e.g. not earlier than 3 months)?

Thanks a lot for kind help!

If you have the Buffalo file no. then once you have the PCCs sent them to Buffalo, don't wait for them to ask.

It just took almost 3 months for me to receive a fresh Police Certificate from FBI. Therefore, I will doubt on your 6 weeks and wouldn`t wait for VO request.
