Police Clearance from Saudi Arabia

[MikesAibeen 0]

Hello!

A friend of mine has worked in Saudi for a couple of years. She is still in Saudi at the moment but is getting ready to go back to the Philippines in a few days. She and her US citizen fiance are planning on taking the CR-1 visa route. Should she get the police certificate from Saudi at this time? She understands that it will be needed much later after the petition is approved. Would it still be valid by the time comes? Also, she heard that she might not be able to get the clearance once she is lives Saudi.

Any thoughts?

Thanks!

Yes - if she leaves, they do not give them out (from what I read on other posts here)

(they are usually valid for a year)

I guess it is better if she'll get one before she leaves. I am also working here in Saudi Arabia but we opted to process my visa application here. The Saudi PCC has NO expiration date indicated within the form, just the date of application. I'm not sure but I think I heard it is valid for a year or so.
