IV Packet

[jacabatic 5]

Does anyone know the difference between:

NBI Clearance and Police certificate?

I've only included the NBI clearance (Green Paper, half sheet) along with the other documents into my IV packet.

Did i also need the "Police certificate"?

Maybe some one from the same country as you are can answer that but I do believe that a police clearance is needed. lets wait to see what others have to say ok

NBI clearance is the National Bureau of Investigation. The police clearance is only a local check through the barangay. I have heard many say that a police clearance is not necessary for a filipino citizen. But the NBI is definately a requirement.

We only sent NBI clearance.

I took both and send my Police Clearance to my hubby for the packet and

the NBI clearance will be for USEM interview.

This is what i put in my cover sheet

Please find enclosed the following items comprising the DS-230 packet. I would kindly request that originals of pertinent documents be returned to my spouse at the time of the interview in Manila, Philippines (my spouse can provide photocopies for your official records, if needed):

▪ Two (2) Passport Size Photographs of Beneficiary

▪ DS-230 Part 1 completed and signed by beneficiary

▪ DS-230 Part 2 completed by beneficiary – unsigned, as of yet, per instructions

▪ Photocopy of the Biographic Data Page(s) of Beneficiary’s Passport

▪ Original/Certified Birth Certificate of beneficiary and a copy

▪ Original/Certified Marriage Certificate and a copy

▪ Original/Certified Police Clearance Certificate and a copy

i sent "NBI clearance" although my cover sheet says "Police certificate"

Do you think they will approve my IV package?

I just want to confirm, "Police certificate" from barangay is not necessary , correct? :unsure:

Is it easy/quick to obtain a "police certificate" from Philippines? anyone know?

just in-case i get an RFE for this, i hope not..

We only sent NBI clearance.

Have your IV package been approved?

The policer clearance/certificate is only needed if the beneficiary has lived in another country (some countries will not issue one, but the embassy is aware of this) for 6 months or more.

Police clearance only need if you work abroad before. SO if you never outside the country for work. NO need for POLICE CLEARANCE. Just NBI clearance only

Good-Luck

hi! i, too, was confused about the nbi clearance and police certificate because of two different pages on the NVC website: this >>> http://travel.state.gov/visa/immigrants/info/info_3195.html and this >>> http://travel.state.gov/visa/fees/fees_5455.html?cid=9719 but we decided to go with the reciprocity by country information since it is more specific.

by the way, i noticed that we have almost the same timeline except that i am waiting until monday to send my IV package. are you from manila? if so, i suggest that you go ahead and do your medical exam at st.luke's. i already did. unfortunately, i was one of those who were required to undergo sputum exam so right now i am waiting for the result which will be available on september 19 yet. hopefully, NVC will close our case and schedule my interview at about the same time. :-)

Send what they are asking to avoid rfe. You need to get a Barangay Clearance and Court clearance before u can apply for Police Clearance. Police clearance for the packet and NBI w/ AKA for the USEM interview.

Sorry, but this is incorrect. NBI clearance is for the country of the Philippines. Police clearances are for people who resided outside the PI for more than 6 months. And NBI clearance does not require anything from the Barangays. Just go to Manila and request it (or perhaps a remote NBI office if not near Manila). They run a background check on you without any info from the smaller police departments.
