Delay in obtaining a PCC from the UAE for immigration purpose
Hi,
I have lived in the UAE from 2010-2012. I don't have emirates ID, I have applied for PCC for immigration purpose on Dubai police website and send them the fingerprints attested along with other documents from India.
Now, the status online shows In progress for almost one month. They are not responding to emails. Calls also hardly in touch. Only once they picked and seems they don't have any proper answers for my PCC.
I don't know why they're not issuing my PCC and delaying it. What I can do in this situation?
Dear Sir/ Madam,
Thank you for reaching out to me on this.
I understand your position that you are not getting a PCC even after submitting all the documents via the Dubai Police Website. There can be two reasons for the delay:
1- Incomplete documents as per the police: Even though you've sent all your documents to the authorities, there might be some shortcoming in the documents.
2- Pending Criminal Case/ Execution in Civil Proceedings: You may have pending police or civil case execution against you in the UAE.
Did you have any bank or personal issues while you were staying in the UAE? This is just a possibility.
There are further two ways of going about this-
1- Do a complete police inspection of records through a lawyer or a friend in the UAE to understand if there are any issues through cases against you.
2- Give a Power of Attorney to a lawyer or a friend in the UAE to personally obtain your Police Clearance Letter from Police headquarters.
You may get in touch with me on phone or email for further clarification and discussion.
Regards,
Hari Wadhwana
