NBI Clearance Slowed

[ChuckCaplan 1]

I understand that a few months back the long term contractor that provided the computer system the NBI uses to process clearances did not renew the contract. So now the NBI is without their normal computer system and this is causing huge delays in processing times. My fiancee filed for a clearance early last month, but she has not yet received her clearance, so she can't get her passport. Does anyone know what the processing times for the NBI clearance is these days?

Amy mentioned that to me the beginning of the week, told me they are talking months to get the NBI! Months?!!

With that said she had decided to request her NBI next week ... see how long it actually takes

My Fiancee Renewed her NBI in October at the NBI office in Cebu.She also got same name "HIT". They told her she had to wait 3 Weeks as they had to send it to the main office in Manila. They told her to call and check on it.it was ready in 2 Weeks!

She filed in Tacloban in Samar.

I got mine in Cebu. It technically took only one day for the processing, but the first time you go there, you are given a slip stating a "priority date" - which is 2 weeks from the day you get that slip. Also, I didn't get a "hit", so I got it on the same day. Others who get a "hit" are instructed to come back after a couple of weeks.

My wife got her birth certificate name in one day in Tacloban - no hit. Then we got her alias name, just in case they ask at the interview, and there was a hit. It took over a month for that, I think closer to two. It was a jaywalking ticket from someone in Manila, we offered to pay it, even though it wasn't hers, but they wouldn't let us. She went there everyday and even had a meeting with one of the supervisors to try to clear it up.

PS Tacloban is in Leyte. Good Luck.

Yeah that's normal to have long process but you can make it a lil faster if u know someone who can process it fast, like "fixer" in a good way and for me having fixer it works.., fixer is not fake .. u just need to add some extra money .. for them to process it fast and if u are in a hurry like me .. why not give it a try if u can afford. normally u need to give hundreds for that .. and your NBI will be printed on that day. Like me .. imagine im in nothern part of phils . and to where i am now it takes 3months to release my NBI even if i dont have someone with the same name .. but then i cant handle waiting that long for just NBI clearance.. i have this guy "fixer" and make him do my NBI since if i go to manila im not pretty sure to get it at the same day... plus my expenses there .. food .. a cheap hotel where to stay since NBI have first 500 applicant per day to serve ..(just incase u dont make it to be in the first 500) last week i got my .. NBI .. the next day i contacted that person do my NBI clearance to release it faster.. for me .. its wise to pay few hundreds.. than to wait for 2 weeks or 3 MONTHS long in my case. hope this help.

I don't think a fixer is going to help your situation in Tacloban, my wife said they were offended when she asked to pay the jaywalking ticket that wasn't hers. They assured her it was out their hands and they had to wait to get the clearance from Manila. But if you don't have any "hits," then you should be ok.

You exactly right! I forgot to mention that, when you first go there they give you a slip with a date to come back and Process your NBI, which is as you Stated in About 2 Weeks later. My Bad! If No 'Hit" when you come back You get it that day as you said!
