Police Clearance for Jordan

[S and S 12]

I just wanted to check with those of you who have gone through the Amman embassy about the police clearance. I thought my husband was supposed to get the police clearance from the police station so that was what I had him do even though he has technically not been in Jordan a year yet so he didn't have to provide it. Well, the only RFE I got on his whole DS-230 packet was the Jordan police clearance. Apparently they want one from the General Intelligence Directorate which I never saw anywhere I looked on the websites but maybe I somehow missed it. Anyway, he went down there and tried to get the clearance but they refused to give it to him since he doesn't have residency. I am waiting now for NVC to decide if they will waive it on the grounds that my husband hasn't been in the country a year yet.

This is what the RFE said:

Jordan: Available to resident Jordanian citizens and foreigners. The General Intelligence Directorate (GID) is responsible for issuing good conduct certificates. They are considered to be reliable, but cover primarily security-related records, i.e. not necessarily criminal information. These certificates must be applied for in person at the local GID office, and are valid for one year. It takes up to two weeks to obtain the certificate from the GID. Foreigners must reside continuously in Jordan for six months before the GID will issue a certificate. There are no procedures to obtain these certificates through Jordanian embassies in foreign countries.

This is really frustrating that they are doing this. If they really require this I have no idea how I can ever finish NVC.

My husband call the Embassy of Jordan in Spain and they told him he have to go Jordan to do this in person, my husband is working can not spend money in a ticket just for that and he doesn't have a vacation to go there , so that is why I decide to send an email and they reply to me that he can do it in the embassy of Jordan, my husband called and told the embassy of Jordan the he have an email from GID Jordan that he can do the police records with the embassy and they told him ok we will do it but will take 2 months.......... before they said no

what you can do is send an email explaining what is the situation and why you need it ..... that is all I did

I have no idea how to help u on this but im here for support sweetie. Insha Allah everything will be ok; keep the faith!!!

[amal 4]

all i can offer is my shoulder if u ever need it. We never had that problem My husband went to the police station to get his and that worked just fine. I hope this gets resolved sooooon.

[S and S 12]

Thanks to all of you. I am really hoping that I can find a way to work this out so we can get the clearance they want. The silly part of all of this is if he left Jordan today than it would nullify him needing a police clearance at all because he was not in the country a year so why they have to have it is beyond me.

I told you to send the email and way for the respond /// explain the situation you don't lose anything

Im sorry you guys are having a frustrating time!

Doesnt one have to get police clearance from anywhere they have lived for over some amount of time?? Des he have one from iraq(dumb question, sorry)

They arent giving it to him becasue he isnt a citizen/resident? I would email the embassy and ask what you should do. I found the Amman embassy to be very helpful, even with in depth questions and they respond within two days.

Explain to them in the email that he is not considered a "resident" yet, so the suggested department would not issue one.

:reaching for straws:

Its worth a shot

Im sorry, i dont have any experience with that part yet.

I am waiting right now for NVC to do another review of his case and see if they will waive the certificate on the grounds that he has not resided in Jordan a year yet. Until they say no I don't want to start anything else, but if they do say no I will definitely take the advice given here. I really appreciate all your responses!

I got lucky. They did waive the police certificate since he hasn't lived in Jordan a year yet. The NVC operator said that his case is now pending completion. Thank God!!!
