NBI From Japan

[sjgusmc21 0]

First off, Merry Christmas to everyone! I hope all are doing well. I am sorry I haven't posted for a while, but sooooo much has been going on, new job, PAPERWORK, etc. Well, we finally have our interview appointment set up, medical on the 27 of Jan, and Interview on the 2nd of Feb. I am freak'n out....I guess that is to be expected. I have gathered all of my paperwork together, and I am leaving Friday to spend our first Christmas together! Had no idea her appointment would be so soon! But I am very happy for it. Anyway, I have a question for you all. Ghie worked in Japan for six months, and we have now recieved her NBI (police report....whatever it is called) for the Japanese Embassey. When she recieved it, they told her not to open it, because the Embassey would not take it if she did. Is this normal? I told her not to worry about it, it is probably a procedural thing...just as with college transcripts here in the states. Has anyone else experienced this? I would really appreciate any advice/experiences any of you can offer. Don't know it this is unique to the Philippines or not. Again, Happy Holidays and wishing you all well. Take care, Stacy.

BTW, I didn't update my time line because we only found out two days ago that she had her appointment set up. I got tired of checking it, and BAM! one morning I checked it and sure enough it was there!

Also, she still has not received her packet 4, should we be concerned? I have the documents dowloaded and filled out already, but I am concerned about her appointment letter to get ther medical done early. Thanks.

If they told her not to open it, then don't. Relax, she'll get her packet soon besides, you just found out the interview date.

Best of luck for the interview.

My wife received her police clearance in a sealed envelope from Japan last summer. She was also directed not to open it. I guess it's standard operating procedure for Japan.

Cheers

I am sure due to the chain of custody they want to try and maintain the "authenticity" of the document.

Thank you all for your advice, it truly helps. I am a nervous wreck right now, especially with the weather conditions and I am flying at 7:45am in the morning to Manila. Thank you all again, and Merry Christmas!
