how long does it take to get police clearance from Bahrain

[Susan and Robin 0]

My husband is from Nepal but worked in Bahrain for 2 years and now we need a police clearance for the K-3 visa. Does anyone have any idea how long it will take.

Not sure about this one may have to ask when applying for it.

Police Record

If the applicant is living in Bahrain, the CID will schedule an interview, during which the applicant will be fingerprinted. The certificate is usually issued within 3-5 days after the interview. Records are somewhat unreliable prior to 1967. There is a fee for this service of Bahrain Dinars 1.000 or U.S. $3.00 for this service. Checks and Bank Drafts are not accepted.

Applicants no longer living in Bahrain should follow the same procedure and provide the same documentation. However, they will also have to provide a set of fingerprints taken by local police in their country of residence.

If there is a Bahrain Embassy where the applicant resides, the can contact the Bahrain Embassy to complete the necessary formalities.

Note: Certificates are not issued for holders of visitor's visas. In order for CID to issue a Good Conduct Certificate, an applicant must currently have, or previously have had, a valid residence permit in Bahrain.

Moving this to Consulate/Embassy forum.

You can send an email to the US consulate in Nepal. They should be able to provide you with the details such as where to send the application, what are the documents required as well as estimated processing time.

My wife needed police clearance certificate from Mauritius. We found the information from Mauritian Govt. website as well as we emailed the US Consulate in Mumbai.

The US consulate confirmed our information but also provided us with estimated processing time and fees (in our case no fees).

You might also ask in the MENA forum, maybe someone will know.
