PCC from Indian Consulate Chicago

[veroshnd]

Hi

I sent my documents by mail to Indian consulate Chicago 2 weeks ago. I didn't see any change in my return tracking envelope so I called them up today. The guy who picked up the phone said it will take 1.5 months to issue a PCC since my passport was issued in India. Has anyone else faced this? Other consulates do it in 2 weeks and I've seen people get it from Chicago in the same time. Anyone who got their PCC recently from Chicago can comment on this?

Thanks

How did you call them? Is there an email address I can use

If I am applying in person can I carry the forms for both myself and wife, or she should be present?

You can carry her documents. She doesn’t need to be present.

I never sent photos. They weren't required.

I am planning to apply for my PCC at chicago and while reading through consulate website i saw below statement and got confused:-

• The Consulate does not attest any document issued by authorities in India. If any document issued by authorities in India (such as birth and death certificates, affidavits, diplomas, marriage certificate and educational certificates issued by authorities in India ) are required to be presented to authorities in USA, these should be apostilled in India. For details, please check the “Legalization of Documents and Implementation of the 'Apostille' Convention” section of the Ministry of External Affair's website.

As all our documents (birth certificate, affidavits, marriage certificates) are issued by authorities in india so what does this statement implies?
