Hello all,

My fiance seems to have gotten the run around. Is there anyone else out there who had to obtain their NBI from Manila while out of the Philippines?

Can you tell us what you did to get one? Did you have a relative go to Manila for you? Or were you able to go to the local Philippine consulate or embassy in the country you were in and have them process an NBI report for you?

My fiance is in United Arab Emirates, and she will need a Philippine National Bureau of Investigation report suitable for international travel for her K-1 interview scheduled for February 12th in Abu Dhabi.

:help: Thanks!

Most applicants abroad find it more expeditious to have a relative or friend in the Philippines assist them in obtaining their certificates from the NBI.

YMMV

Thanks for the responses, and I know we are not alone dealing with this issue, so I will include another option beyond having someone back in PI obtain the NBI.

(This is from another visa forum, same question was asked.)

PRESENTLY WORKING ABROAD. HOW CAN I GET A NBI CLEARANCE WITHOUT GOING HOME TO THE PHILIPPINES ?

You can visit the nearest Philippine Consulate Office and asked for a Fingerprint Card Form.

a.) Fingerprint Card Form – fill up the personal data called for on both sides of this card truthfully and legibly.

b.) Request the assistance/endorsement of the nearest Philippines Consulate Office for the police agency in your locality to have your fingerprints impressed (ROLLED IMPRESSION) on the appropriate spaces. The officer/person who fingerprinted you should sign his name state his official designation on the space provided for the purpose in the card.

c.) In case you are a married woman, the order of writing your name is as follows:

c.1) Your maiden surname (father’s surname).

c.2) Your husband’s surname.

c.3) Your first name or given name.

c.4) Your maternal surname (family name of your mother)

d.) Attach a latest copy of your 2”x2” photograph (white background), taken within three (3) months before this application at the appropriate box in the fingerprint card form.

Upon completion of this requirement, please send back your form to us and enclose Money Order in the sum of Php 200.00 or any currency/bankdraft of its equivalent which is negotiable in the Philippines payable to the Director, National Bureau of Investigation, Taft Avenue, Ermita 1000 Manila, Philippines.

We will mail to you the corresponding clearance certificate after we have processed your application papers.

Upon receipt of your clearance certificate, please examine it for the presence of the embossed NBI DRY SEAL at its lower left portion, the clearance is invalid without it. Also, you must affix your clear and properly taken THUMBPRINT on the space provided for it in the clearance certificate before submitting it to your end-user, otherwise, your clearance will be subjected for further verification/authentication and will cause the delay of your immigration requirements

Hope it will help her .
