Indian immigrant visa applicants, whose appointments are scheduled for
periods after January 31, 2002, will require police certificates, according
to the U.S. Consulate in Chennai, India.
Applicants aged 16 and above, residing in India, should obtain police
certificates from the local passport office. Applicants whose Indian
passports were issued within the past six months can present the passport
office police certificate, and need not obtain additional police clearances,
says a press release from the Consulate General here. Those aged over 16,
whose passports were issued more than six months prior to the visa
application, must obtain a police clearance from the district police office
serving the applicant's place of residence. Indian passport holders applying
for visas outside India should obtain a statement from their local embassy
or consulate confirming that they had no criminal record.
Non-Indian immigrant visa applicants, residing in India, should obtain
police certificates from the district police station serving their area of
residence.
Indian police certificates are not necessary for foreign (non-Indian)
applicants applying outside India.
