Police Clearances??????

[tennesseevolunteer 0]

I just read where police clearances are only good for 3 months is that correct? Salve obtain her Philippine clearance(her home country)in Feb. 2006 the day before she return to Tawian to her work. We have requested Tawian be her place for interview since she is on contract till 2007. If she has her visa stamped leaving Philppines and entring ROC Tawian the day after her clearance, why would this not be valid. We realize she also needs one from Tawin ROC.

Do we need to prepare ourselves to get another? If so how can this be done without her present in the Philippines?

We are now 60 days after NOA1 no touches or RFI which I know will come. We are trying to be so prepared to keep from getting the dreaded AR.

POLICE RECORD

Available and reasonably reliable. Philippine-born immigrant visa applicants are required to furnish certificates issued by the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI). Foreign-born applicants who have resided in the Philippines for six months or more may be issued NBI clearances upon application either in person or by mail. Applicants should send requests for certificates together with certified checks or money orders for the fees and postage to the Philippine National Bureau of Investigation, Taft Avenue, Metro Manila, Philippines. The NBI has its own fingerprint charts and personal data forms that it will send to the requesting applicant for execution. Most applicants abroad find it more expeditious to have a relative or friend in the Philippines assist them in obtaining their certificates from the NBI. The applicant may also submit a copy of a prior NBI clearance to facilitate the processing of a new clearance. Posts are advised that not all arrests and convictions occurring outside of Manila are reported to the NBI. The Philippine criminal records database is not foolproof, and can be open to manipulation. Manila and major Philippine cities have computerized records. All other regions are scheduled to have computer accessible records by 2003. Fee: 100.00 pesos.

Hi! If she has the NBI clearance, it's valid for 1 year from date of issue. if she got it last Feb. 2006, then it is valid till Feb. 2007.

Hope that helps.

Oh, and i think she can also authorize a next of kin to renew if for her. She just needs to send the original personal copy of her latest NBI clearance and an authorization letter. I'll try to look for more info for the renewal.

Yes, one of her relatives can renew it for her. She can go to the Philippine embassy in whatever country she is in and fill out the form and get her fingerprints taken. She would then send that form to her relative to have the NBI renewed. My fiance just did this.
