[mari joe 1]

Ive received noa1 and am looking down the road to noa2 my fiancee is from the Philippines and has lived there all her life except a couple of years she spent in Lebanon were she worked for 2 years so she needs a police clearance from there. I looked at the reciprocity tables at

and found this

Police and Prison Records

Available. The "Judiciary Police Record" is issued by the Judiciary Police Department, Internal Security Forces, Minister of the Interior. It does not contain any information about any political activities or affiliation to any terrorist, military, or illegal organization. It only shows any final court decision, final conviction and/or court sentence.

After completing his/her sentence, an individual could request that the Ministry of Justice remove the sentence from his "Judiciary Police Record" after three to ten years, depending on the type of crime. In 1992, the Lebanese Government issued a "General Amnesty" for all crimes committed before 1991. Also, in 1996 the Lebanese Government issued a "General Amnesty" to all drug charges-related crimes committed before 1994.

The criminal records are indexed and in alphabetical order. They include, in addition to the individual's name, the number and place of each individual's place of civil registration. The "Judiciary Police Record" is issued in Arabic and signed by the Chief of the Judiciary Department.

To obtain the "Judiciary Police Record", the individual who is physically present in Lebanon, must personally apply, accompanied by his/her Lebanese identity card to the Police Record Department, Internal Security Forces, Ministry of Interior. The document will be issued within 48 hours.

For those residing outside Lebanon, the request must be processed through Lebanese embassies/consulates, but applicants may experience extremely long waiting periods before they receive the document, or may not receive them at all. The "Judiciary Police Record" may also be requested through a lawyer having a power of attorney from the individual authorizing the request. The "Judiciary Police Record" presented by an individual does not mean that the individual is clear. It just states that "this person does not have any court sentence against him".

please correct me if i am wrong or if you have some helpful advice

i assume that "Judiciary Police Record"is the same as police clearance

i assume i should start with the Lebanese embassy in the philippines since it says "For those residing outside Lebanon, the request must be processed through Lebanese embassies/consulates"

also i assume i will need a lawyer becouse it also says "but applicants may experience extremely long waiting periods before they receive the document, or may not receive them at all. The "Judiciary Police Record" may also be requested through a lawyer having a power of attorney from the individual authorizing the request."

After all of that i know it will have to be translated into English.By whom does the U.S. embassy in Manila approve to do this?

And finally,When should i begin to get this document, after noa2 ?

You can start getting it now...because they said it takes longer period for you to receive...Lebanon is not an easy country...so just to make sure everything will be done before your fiance's interview..just do it as early as possible...

Hey, I'm in your exact shoes.

Did you have any luck with the Lebanon Police Clearance? What did you do? How long did it take, how much did it cost and who did you go through?

All I've done so far is go to the Manila Lebanon Embassy and they had her write a letter that they charged us 2000 pesos for and they say they mailed it off saying they'd call us...

Everything else I'm all set on, I hired the guys at kvisas.com since my boss offered to pay. I'm just in the dark on the police clearance and nobody seems to ever say what has happened to them after they got it.

It's month 3 for me on waiting and the lady at the Lebanon embassy still says no to everything I ask about and then says she'll call me when it's in. I'm actually living in manila until it comes so I'm hoping that it comes and not the other case where it never comes.

Anyway, I know this is a few years off but hopefully someone has more info than quoting scripture, which is great for those with faith but I'd like some real confirmation ! Any response would be great, hope you get this or someone reads this!

Thanks,

Drew

did you get any luck?

yes start now!! they are usually good for one year after processed date......DO NOT WAIT! This is the reason why me and my fiancé are in the waiting game as we had to wait for his certificate to come from Ghana....luckily, it was processed in one week but, have to think about time spent mailing it, processing it, then mailing it back. I think in total time we wasted three weeks so, not bad at all.

This thread is almost 4 years old, and it's being closed to further comments.

The OP was obviously successful -- his timeline says that they're awaiting approval of ROC.
