NBI Clearance

[Kat & Brett 1]

Sometimes it appears when you're requesting NBI for overseas travel, it 'can' take more than a few hours. My fiancé had gotten an NBI for employment, and got it in a few hours. The one we needed for our interview took three weeks.

3 weeks? why it took that long? I had my NBI for travel abroad expired last year and i got in on the same day...

So it should be the purpose of NBI "Travel to US"? thats the one youre referring to that took for 3 weeks for the release?

Don't get your NBI too soon, they may be valid for a year but the embassy has been known to ask for a "fresh" one if they are too old, why tempt an 221g? Wait until you get notice of the NOA2 then start gathering your NBI & CENOMAR. NSO is no issue for getting early (oh ya, on the topic of the Birth Certificate, get 5 or 6 copies so you have extras once you get stateside, you will need one from time to time)

Its a long day standing in line for the NBI and this time of year.... rain.

Wow! 5 or 6 copies...Its better then to be prepared...

Thanks!

Yes for sure get extra copies of the Birth Certificate, I have read, from time to time, on here where someone will be asking the best way to get copies of their BC from stateside so it just seems logical to get extra copies before leaving the Phils.

Yep! To avoid hassle for sure in requesting from time to time when needed....

My mahal got her NBI in Davao. It took about 10 working days. She got 2 of them. One of them was the sundry card, and the other was the one for "Immigration purposes". We used that one for getting her police clearance from Qatar, and the sundry card one for the interview.

They at first wouldn't give her one for "Immigration purposes", but luckily her brother had a "friend" who worked there. So just went straight there.

Do any of the Adjustment of Status procedures require them to keep a birth certificate? I think they kept the one from our interview. We have another one, I got two. But am now wondering if I should have my fiancé get one or two more before she comes here, as it will be tricky to get once she's here.

She better take more copies with her...The cost is doubled when you request it online everytime she needs it..

I had my wife get 5 or 6 extra copies, sent one off with the AOS already. USCIS keeps any documents you send.
