<p>and should i myself process f-1 visa application, how?
thanks</p>

<p>NO, PCC is required for Passport,
F1 Visa only requires an appointment. You have to be there with your educational qualifications and passport and the I-20 doc your school gave you. You can book the appointment anytime.</p>

<p>@peepingtom‌ i already have a passport…and are u really really sure about PCC thing ??</p>

4

<p>yes, I’m sure. Why would VISA require PCC? It doesn’t make sense. Did you apply for passport under the “tatkal” scheme?</p>

5

<p>no I have passport from last year. I didn’t do any tatkal scheme, passport was issued after police verification. </p>

<p>Actually, Canadian Embassy asks for PCC for student visa, that’s why I asked the question.</p>

<p>EDIT: @peepingtom</p>

<p>You have a passport, that means that you’ve passed the PCC, that’s it! Why not mail the embassy and ask?</p>

7

<p>firstly colleges wouldn’t have accepted you if you ever went to juvie coz there is a section in the common app
which asks you if you ever convicted .</p>

8

<p>@savemylife thats right but common app has nothing to do with embassy. embassies have their own background checks. but that wouldn’t be a problem cuz my record is clean.</p>

<p>@peepingtom okay, i’ll ask embassy itself and will post here.</p>
