Keyser - in which city/office did you and your friend complete the PSK interview?

My issue is I will be in Mumbai 25th - 28th Aug (25th being a holiday) and again from
Sep 30 - Oct 2(Again, holidays). I was hoping I can complete PSK formalities on 28th Aug and am not sure if I need to me in Mumbai for police verification(we know our local cops, parents can provide all info/ID/Ration Card etc...). Worst case I can go see them when I am back in Sept. Do we need to be physically present for police verification?

I applied for the Global entry program on July 6th. However, I have not gotten any email from the passport seva kendra service. I also tried applying directly on Passport Kendra website and it is not recognizing my Global enrollment id. Did you get a message on the GOES website? I haven't gotten any message there too.

I am not sure what I am doing wrong? Any suggestions? I put the current address as my US address and am wondering if that is what made it wrong.

Cheers,

Keyser

both of us completed the process in delhi....

unfortunately you need to be physically present for the police verification....your rpo officer has the ability to get the police verification done on the same day....there is no harm in asking when you go for your interview....

Thanks Keyser - I'll give it a shot. Do share once your application progresses to CBP Interview stage

Keyser

will do....its been over 2 weeks since i applied on the goes website & over a week since my info was approved & uploaded by the rpo....still waiting for conditional approval....

I have my interview in Hyderabad on Monday. I will update the thread with my inyerview experience

Keyser

as if my interview process at the rpo wasn't confusing enough, even today the confusion continues....

this morning i got a call from the police asking me when he can come over to my house for the verification....i asked him what this was for & he said i had an appointment at the rpo last week & this was the follow up police verification they are supposed to complete....i told him my police verification was not only complete but the rpo has already received the report & it has been uploaded & sent to the relevant authorities....all of this happened last week....he seemed really confused & said he would check & call me back....

an hour later he called back to let me know that he had checked with the rpo & the verification was indeed complete but there was confusion since their system was still showing it in pending status....i asked him how that was possible & he said he would check & get back to me....

Incredible!

Mexican citizens get the card as well.

Hey, thanks a lot for sharing your experience. Curious to know what types of documents were requested during the appointment with the PSK or the police inspection. Is a passport sufficient or are any other Indian documents necessary (aadhar card, etc.). Thanks!

Adding my experience.
I got done with my PSK appt on July 5th (I was the first GEP applicant in my state, with 4 more lined up behind me). I had to explain what GEP is all about to the officer in charge.
My Police Verification was done 3 days later but the application status still states "Police Verification has been initiated".

You need address proof in India. Aadhar or Voter ID card.

Keyser

he called back later in the day to say everything was in order....the verification was done last week & the information was sent to the rpo but the person who did the verification forgot to close our file at the police station so it was still showing in pending status....

Keyser

like i said before, i don't see the harm in giving cards to anyone who wants it....i'm sure lots of people would opt for the card even if they decided to charge a small fee for it....
