Awaiting CO and have to get India PCC for the missus and me. We anticipate that the Indian PCC for missus will take some time since her permanent address is different and we havent made any changes to passport to reflect the marriage

We are hoping that we will be able to get the India PCC around the same time that we get a CO

Hi MManjrekar,

I got CO last week. It was exactly 6 LONG months of waiting. The best possible to check for CO assignment is to visit below website. They update it every 15 days. I applied in October but just after updating this list I got CO. It means approximately in every 15 days they process 1 to 2 months applications.

Well, I think there is a problem with my application. From ACS till here it has taken so much time. For others ACS approval is coming in 2 or 3 weeks but for me, ACS also took 12 weeks.

In your case, you are right. A week or two will end your wait.
