Dear RS46, we all are in the same boat waiting for our Interview mails. We have followed the developments unfold in this forum. Our (me and my wife) DQ date is March 23, 2021. Hopefully people with DQ date in December 2020 should get cleared in April 22. If the pattern continues then January and February 21 cases are likely to be taken up in May. Interpolating on this optimism I expect March and April 21, cases to be taken up in June. Could be July also. This all a guess work. Best wishes to one and all. Let us keep our optimism alive and kicking.

While we all are wishing for Interview dates, I wanted to check on next steps , how do yo take care of parents medical expense ? Which Insurance is the cheapest ? Do parents typically bring medicines from India?

Thank you all for your responses.
I have a question about Police Certificate. Originally when we did Police Certificate in 2020; we went by Passport Office and then got the appointment and then got the PCC which was submitted. Obviously that PCC is now expired. But that was submitted in the documents. This was issued by Passport Office, Mumbai.

Now there is another option to get PCC directly from Police station for Maharashtra. The site - https://pcs.mahaonline.gov.in/Forms/Home.aspx.
Here you dont need appointment and it looks like a much faster way to get it. This is issued by Local Police Commissioner Office.

My question is for the interview; does it matter who has issued the PCC?

To the best of my knowledge PCC issued by the Passport office is only acceptable. You may go with Police PCC, if accepted, well and good, otherwise they will ask you to submit the passport office PCC. Till then they will put the grant of Visa on hold.

Quick question: Is the email containing the information regarding the interview detail is the same as interview letter or it needs to be downloaded from somewhere? Please advise. Thanks.
