Hi,

I am on F1 - STEM OPT and I am currently unemployed (switching job).

Is it necessary to provide office address on the application form for PCC in the"Profession / Business Address"?

Also, in the Personal Particulars Form, what should I put in profession - student or engineer or unemployed?

Thank you for any help in advance!

The PCC fee is $25 for each applicant and has to give Indian Community Welfare Fee (ICWF) of US $2.00 w.e.f. September 1, 2017.

Does this mean you have to take one Money order for $27? Please advise.

Total $27 money order, not two separate ones.

Yes... you got it

For self-attestation, do we just sign at the bottom of each phocopied page with date. Or is there anything else that would be needed. Thank you!

Someone please help:
1. PP Form: I have changed couple of addresses in USA in last 6 years, should I list all in 9? Or just my current address in 8B is good enough?

2. Passport: Original, or just notarized copy?

3. Photographs: Not needed (except for those on forms)?

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?

Hi Samoinp,
How soon did they return the original passports to you? It has been 2 weeks for us and the return envelopes are still not USPS system meaning they have not yet dispatched them back.

 

[rohitgpta699]

How long does SFO consulate take to return the original passports? We had sent the tracked return envelopes along with our application, it has been 2 weeks but still they are not showing as being dispatched from consulate side.

Any info will be appreciated.

Hello Members,
I have submitted my PCC application in person on 5/14/2018. I was told by the lady at the counter, it will take 2 weeks to get approved. 3 weeks have passed now and till date there is no reply from CGI SF. My renewed passport was issued in San Francisco, USA last year. I was under the impression it would be done within a week. The agent had checked all the photocopies with the originals and returned back the passport to me. I have submitted prepaid Fedex envelope to return the PCC letter to me.
Will they call me once approved to stamp my passport or do they provide a separate PCC letter as proof of clearance ?
Has anyone recently got approved during this time ? How much time it is usually taking for the approval these days ?
Is there any correct contact info of CGI SF ? i have tried multiple times on these numbers.
General Line: (415)668-0662; (415)668-0683
No one dares to pick or reverts back to voicemails.
Also the email page is broken. Tried sending them email from this link, keep getting errors. http://www.cgisf.org/contactus/display/
Please help, my case is urgent. How do I expedite it, any idea ?
