PLZ help to figure this out...!

[Ron and Rhea 42]

We are trying to get a clear answer on this topic....again...Police reports.

I called NVC and we do have our MNL case number now. I was speaking to someone who appeared to know what they were talking about, so I asked about police reports, as my fiance worked as a RN in Cairo for 7 months last year.

I read on here that if you were overseas from your domicile for more than 6 months a police report is required.

The person at NVC said no, it is not required by NVC. They said if she had been there for more than one year. So I tell my fiance and she quotes something from here again on 6 months.

So I called back, spoke with someone else at NVC and she said, No a police report isn't required by NVC if she was there for less than one year. She said if a police report was needed by NVC then one should've been submitted already then, right? She said perhaps the US Embassy in Manila may require one, and she should ask them to make sure, but NVC doesn't need such.

She gave me the link:

http://travel.state.gov/visa/immigrants/info/info_3195.html#police

An applicant must obtain a police certificate from the local police authority:

IF you…

AND…

have been living in your country of nationality at their current residence for more than 6 months

you are 16 years old or older

lived in a different part of your country of nationality for more than 6 months

you were 16 years or older at that time

lived in a different country for more than 12 months

you were 16 years or older at that time

were arrested for any reason

you were any age at the time of the arrest

It does show 1 year on NVC....She also said it gets confusing as the second line says 6 months, but that is if you lived in a different part of YOUR OWN country for more than 6 months......

We can't call embassy till tomorrow to see if they require it.....

Can anyone help clear this up, short of seeing a lawyer, lol.

NVC doesn't need police report for K-1 Visa it is embassy. So you will need to call embassy and find out from them. I've seen also some confusing information some say 6 month some 12. Better check with an embassy.

[Ron and Rhea 42]

Yes that seems to be the best step....there is conflicting info on the topic. Well NVC seems to be very clear on it.

NVC Does Not Need a Police Clearance from the petitioner nor the Beneficiary. When you (Petitioner) filed your 1-129F. Homeland Security did the full background check on you the petitioner.

The Beneficiary will need to present the police clearance at USEM in Manila when submitting there package.

K1/K2 Interview Preparation Instructions

At this point you have your MNL case number. Start preparing your beneficiary for Medical at St. Lukes, Preparing package for your Beneficiary. You will need to now confirm with NVC when you case was sent to Manila Embassy. Then confirm with USEM Manila if they have received your case.

[Ron and Rhea 42]

Anyone here having dealt with the US Embassy in Manila under this sitch? Did they required a police report for working abroad under one year, or did you do it just to be safe? As the pkg is being sent to the US Embassy as we speak we are trying to avoid a long delay for police report from Cairo, lord knows how long that will take with the problems going on over there.

[Ron and Rhea 42]

Dang, well 'G' shows the Embassy in Manila requires it....jeez...thanks for the info Wally

Seems redundant the US Embassy needs a police report from Cairo, but she did a NBI already and Homeland Security did a back ground check on her...seems anything she did illegal would have shown up already, ugh, delays.

On the state dept site is states this on the bottom half of the website:

"......An applicant abroad must apply to the nearest Egyptian consular officer who will fingerprint them and forward their applications to the Ministry of Interior, Cairo. Upon completion, the report is sent to the applicant. The latter procedure usually involves considerable delay. Since the certificates are eventually issued, they must be considered available".

Keyword being, SIGNIFICANT delay....sucks.

Yes Wally, thanks. She went to the Consulate for Egypt and they told her she would have to bring a form from the US Embassy requesting police report and then they would forward it to Cairo, where it has to go through that process.

That is why we were so hoping since NVC didn't need it then the US Embassy in Manila wouldn't need a police report but as per the link you attached she does...we wished she could pick it up at the Egyptian consulate in Manila.

Oh well, it is what it is.

... make sure that the MNL number is stated in the letter from the US embassy Manila... this would minimize, if not prevent, delays....

good luck...

Ok, will do, thanks.
