Police reports for OFW Filipinas in Kuwait

[daveiz 0]

Hello any help would be apreciated. I met my Fiance while working in Kuwait, I am in USA now, however, she is still there. I understand she requires a Police certficate from Kuwait, but does she need one from the Phills (she hs been working in Kuwait 16 years)? Any other info for obtaining fiance Visa for a Filipina working in Kuwait would be a great help, thanks in advance.

Maybe you should try reading this site: http://kuwait.usembassy.gov/fiancee_to_mar...n_citizen2.html

if she will process her Visa in Kuwait she needs an NBI clearance from the Philippines.

She will need to get a Police Clearance from every place she has lived in the Philippines since she was 16 years old. If she moved from one town/city to another, he needs to get a PCC from each one of them.

This is all besides the NBI Clearance. That's how I understand it.

Does she have her Personal Copy of her last NBI Clearance still? If so, she just has to mail it from Kuwait. Better if a relative helps her and applies in person though (with the old Clearance in hand).

If she has no copy of the old Clearance, she can go to the Philippine Embassy in Kuwait and get fingerprinted there. She needs to bring 2 photos. The Embassy will have her fill out an application form, fingerpting her, and put the form in an official Philippine Embassy envelope. It's her responsibility to mail it to the NBI. The two photos are just in case. One pic is for the app, one is for the NBI in case they want one.

I don't think that this is right. Whether going through the Manila Embassy or the one in Kuwait City. She will rewuire an NBI clearance form the Philippines, and a Police Certificate from every country that she has lived in for more than 6 months. From the US Embassy Manila web site:

NBI CLEARANCE: Applicants aged 16 years and older must have a valid Record Clearance for Travel Abroad Purposes from the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI). Clearances should be in the applicant’s current name, birth certificate name, maiden name, married name, and any aliases or nicknames ever used, including different spellings of all names ever used. An official letter of explanation from the NBI is required for any notation of “No criminal record”, "No pending criminal case” or “With derogatory record.” NBI is located along Taft Avenue in Manila. You may contact NBI at (632) 523-82-31 to 38. For immigration purposes, an NBI clearance is considered valid only for one year from the date it is issued.

POLICE CERTIFICATES: A police certificate is required from a country in which the applicant lived for more than one year (six months if you are applying for a K visa) after turning 16 years of age. As with NBI clearances, foreign police certificates should be obtained in any maiden names, married names, aliases or nicknames ever used while in the country in question, including different spellings of all names ever used. Information on how to secure police certificates from countries where these are available may be obtained by contacting U.S. Embassy Manila’s Immigrant Visa Branch or an Embassy/Consulate of the country from which the police certificate is required.

The State Department's Visa Office offers online information on the availability of country documents (including police certificates) through its Country Document Finder. Click on the letter that begins the country name, select the country and scroll down to "Documents".

Good luck to the OP.

It's easier and faster to process in Kuwait if she's your wife already, but since she's fiancee, better to process her K1 in Philippines. If her contract in Kuwait is finish, she doesn't need Police Clearance from Kuwait, only Police Certificates from places she live in Philippines and had live for more than 6 months and NBI clearances in all names she uses. I had a friend who process her Fiancee visa in kuwait and was denied twice.
