Hello!

I'd like to ask a question to the Filipinos in this forum who have had to get an NBI clearance as part of the US immigration process. I left the Philippines when I was 21 years old (that was almost 17 years ago), and have read that at some point I will need a police clearance from all countries I've lived in since the age of 16. Anyway, I've contacted the Philippine consulate in Toronto and they told me they could help me fill up the form (including fingerprinting). But then, I have to get a relative of mine in Manila to personally deliver the form to the NBI office. I asked them if I could mail it instead and they told me not to as it will just get lost (somehow!?!). I have to get a police clearance from Singapore, too, and apparently mailing it to them is not a problem.

Anyway, I would like to know if anybody has tried to mail the form to the NBI. (Or have you all made a trip to Manila?) I assume that not everyone in this forum live in Manila. :unsure: I still have relatives in the Philippines but I don't know how much work I would have to put them through if I ask this very huge favor. Also, how long does it take to get the clearance?

Thanks!

What they did to me here in Phil. Con of HK, is they took my fullfinger printing, and then i sent the form thru FeDex to my sisters in Manila with my authorization letter and she was the one who process at the NBI. It took her only one day to get the NBI clearance. She sent me back the clearance via FeDex.

Go to the Phil. Consulate in Toronto and fill out a form for NBI clearance then pay 40.00 CDN.If you have relatives you can ask to get the NBI clearance for you, you just have to send withe the form, an authorization letter for that person. It doesn't take a full day for that. Don't send the form. The person who will apply for you will still have to pay a fee to get your NBI clearance. Then have that person send you the NBI clearance to you.

Thanks for your input Laeneri and road2kros. I did get that info from the Philippine consulate in Toronto. So, I guess there are no other ways to do it but to basically ask a relative to do some of the legwork. Or, I could use the lawyer that mdyoung referred.
