If your marriage was anulled

[Jim N Augie 16]

My contact in the Philippines informed me that she had a client today asked at interview for an NBI with the ex-husbands surename. Even tho she had her NBI with AKA's. So we were advised to get one before our interview friday just to be on safe side. It is unclear for now if this will be a new trend or just the CO's mood today but it is not normally asked for so I wanted to pass this on so people know. Jim.

I'm confused. If she had NBI reports for all of her AKA's, wouldn't she have had one with her ex-husband's surname on it?

Also, I thought it was standard operating procedure for Manila CO's to ask for AKA's from those with annulments- including AKA's with the ex's surname on it.

In other words this girl was asked to provide a background check in her married name only . She already had the one you would normally get that was maiden name only that included all AKA's

hi guys!

i'm confused about this too.

please correct me if i'm wrong, you're saying that this person was requested to submit a new nbi clearance containing only her previous married name? (even if she has an nbi clearance with both her maiden name and aka previous married name)

thanks for your patience in explaining.

just want to be sure as i'm on the same boat.

Yes thats correct. It was an unusual request and thats why I am passing this info along. Its easy to get this before your appointment so we did just to be safe.

yeah, definitely unusual. i dont see the difference between an nbi with aka vs nbi with only former married name since they do name checks for all names listed.

please share with us how was the interview especially regarding this nbi request.

thanks!

it's such a looong que to get another nbi clearance! but will do just to be sure.

I will be putting up a review soon. We are approved. But for now... we were not asked for the 2nd NBI but it was included with her paperwork just to be safe. people can do as they want but our thinking it is a small cost and better than getting a 221g and delay. Augie was able to get hers in manila in about 4 hours. Maybe the CO just wanted to be sure all was checked so he did both names. My contact does this for A living and she was very suprised too when they Asked for the 2nd NBI it is not normal and there was nothing in her clients case to make them want that. I guess maybe if the next month no one is asked then it was the CO's mood that day but we wanted to warn people about what happened. Jim

Jim...I see what you're saying-- the CO wanted a completely separate NBI for her married name. I think that is unusual too.

It's my understanding that CO's will sometimes order an NBI clearance themselves after the interview, and not involve the K-1 applicant in the process. In your friend's case, the CO actually required your friend to submit the additional NBI clearance. Interesting.

I agree that it's better to have the additional NBI clearance with you when you walk into the Embassy for your interview. It's better to be safe than sorry.

Thanks for the heads up, Jim.

Welcome everyone. For what it is worth it was a male CO that asked for that. Our CO was female. If we dont hear more of this than maybe no worry just he had mood lol. but it was the day before our interview so we got the extra NBI just to be safe
