Hong Kong Police certificate

[Allan_D 0]

My wife worked in Hong Kong for a couple years so I understand she'll need a police clearance from them. I think they only send them direct to the embassy when requested. So we got our NOA2 and I'm assembling documents to send to NVC. My question is will NVC hold up getting her an interview date because lack of HK police clearance?

I'd appreciate the experience of others who had to get HK police clearance.

if the embassy will not receive her police clearance at the time of her interview, she will be put into Administrative review and have to wait for a few more weeks before USEM will release her VISA. Goodluck!

I worked in HKG for 3 1/2 years in the British Military, so I guess I need to get a Police Certificate from the HKG Police.

The following is segment 3 from what I would need to send to get the certificate. Sorry for being thick but what does it actually mean?

3. the original and photocopy of a document proving his/her relationship with the principal applicant for the visa if item #2 does not contain the applicants name;

My question is will NVC hold up getting her an interview date because lack of HK police clearance?

Yes, because until the file is complete it is not forwarded to the consulate. The applicant is not yet ready to be interviewed until file is complete...

Marilyn was employed in Hong Kong for a period of time. We were able to get a letter stating that the request is needed on behalf of the US embassy from St Lukes. Used that letter along with the MNL number to ask for the police clearance. Also had emails from HK police giving us the time when it was sent to the embassy and the registered mail number.

Marilyn and Peter.

once they receive the police cert, how long do you think it will take for the Consul officer to update and release the visa?

We started our HK police certificate, almost 2 weeks ago.You have to wait until u get your NOA2, then after 10-14 days, u can go down to the embassy, at window #38, and give the person your information, by then they should have all your papers from NVC.The clerk will give u a request form, and what to send.Thats not enough, u have to get more papers from HK police station, and then send it end.We had someone in HK take the information to the station for us.We were told it takes about 4 weeks to complete, and they will forward it to the US embassy in the Philippines.My fiancee', lives in Manila so she was able to go and take care of the business. Now if u live in the province, e-mail them and hopefully they will send the forms to you, they are aware of what u need. Good Luck

This topic is a few years old, and the previous poster has not be on VJ in over 2 years. You may do better to start a new topic with your questions.
