Personal Particulars Form (PCC SFO)
Hello everyone,

I had put references from India.

 

[kvs30]

I had put references from India.

Ok. Thank you.
So, even though I live in U.S.A I have to put references from my home address in India?

Well, its PCC for duration lived in India right? So i think, it is logical.
From what i heard, if one had renewed their passport at SFO, they already might have the PCC. I'm not sure how true this is.
This was the case for me and i got it within a week.

Yes, this is for duration lived in India and I didn't get passport renewed from SFO, so I think it makes sense to put references from India only.
I will be going to Indian embassy on 16th October, will update what they say about it.

I had the same question about the references, @kvs30 please update it when you visit them. Any idea about processing times if applying by mail?

Yes, they require original passport. I didn't self attest any document. Notarised ones was just a copy of Visa, I-797 and driver's license. UPS guy offered to notarize all these in a single go. I wasn't sure so i had them notarized individually.

On a side note, curious why bother if you have a EAD? Doesn't that give more freedom than a H1B?

Thanks for replying, am planning to notarize it in UPS too. Sorry my bad, should have said OPT card which is my EAD, am not on H1B, its my 3rd and last chance next year and I have very little hopes of getting picked in the lottery. Even if my case got picked in the lottery, I am still going to move to Canada, not worth the wait for a green card in the states.
