Kendora--Many congratulations on the continuing good progress! Previous VJers going through visa process have advised not to wait for Packet to be sent from embassy--as it often never is received. However, you can access Packet 3 online on the Manila U.S. embassy site. Here is a direct link to the actual packet:

And here is the page from which the downloadable packet is obtained, if you should so need:

Yeah i am in the same boat as you...

I don't know what is going on... maybe people at VJ who have had their petitions approved are out celebrating [edit: without updating their VJ timeline] or maybe things have just slowed down at VSC (it is frustrating)...

And here in the US, labor day is approaching so I am expecting slowdown in the week after as well because employees will be taking time off I'm sure.

Not cool man... not cool...

Ami&Chigs, JuneSue, Hiker and all the rest; sincerely hoping you will all hear soon. I think NOA2 recipients spending about 1-2 days in happy daze then busy rush, rush, rushing to get all ready for next steps and interview. Perhaps while waiting for NOA2 one can start getting ready a little now before actual "crunch time" maybe? Fortunately, it looks like VSC processing times are still (relatively) quicker than a few months ago. That should be good news for the April Filers group. All in all, again very, very strongly and very sincerely hoping all still waiting will hear very, very soon. --RK and Inday

--RK and Inday

Thank you RK and Inday. I found Paula and Tonieta's post very informative and useful. Right now, my fiancee is on the process of securing her Police Certificate for Brunei. Since she has worked there for 2 yrs. It took a while before we got hold of a representative from Brunei embassy. Only to find out she cannot mail the required documents and the application has to be paid in peso not in Brunei dollars as what the website says.http://travel.state.gov/visa/fees/fees_5455.html?cid=9007.

Police Records

Police certificates can be obtained in Brunei within approximately two weeks. When requesting a police clearance certificate, an applicant must submit the following:

Photocopy of his/her current passport.

Photocopy of his/her Brunei identity card, if available.

Evidence of the duration of the applicant's residency in Brunei.

Fee of fifty Brunei dollars.

The above items should be sent to:

The Commissioner

Royal Brunei Police Force

Gadong Headquarters

Bandar Seri Begawan

Attn: Awg Mohammad Abdullah - Translator

If the applicant lives outside of Brunei, a request for a police certificate, along with the required passport and identity card photocopies, may be sent to the Embassy by courier service.

Brunei criminal records are permanently stored in the police computer archives. The records are indexed by family name and identity card numbers.

We ask her aunt to apply for the certificate in her behalf since it is acceptable.

Waiting for the certificate so we can proceed with the visa payment and medical exam.
