When Can I Start Geting Police Report and Proof of Eligiblity to Marry?

[LucidDreams 1]

We've received from the NVC approval and that the application is being forwarded to the Manila embassy (dated Dec 10th). That same approval letter encouraged us in the meantime to fill out form DS-160 to apply for the K visa. Wich I plan to soon (perhaps today). Typhoon Yolonda resulted in a great delay and frustration regarding her gettting her passport, but she finally got it yesterday (great Christmas present!). Now that her Passport is finally in hand after much delay, we feel comfortable moving forward again.

At any rate, I know there are time frames that are too early to gather certain types of information. When should we start to get the Police Report and also proof of her eligiblity to marry? Is now too soon? How long does this stuff typically take to get?

Thank you in advance!

she needs the NBI clearance and cenomar (certificate of no marriage)

since your petition is being sent to the Philippines you should get the required documents asap

nbi took me 3 weeks to get, cenomar took me 1 day. she only needs the police certificate if she lived/worked in another country for more than 6 mos after the age of 16.

btw, here is the interview instructions for k1 manila:

Where did you apply for CENOMAR? I applied at SM mall and was told to come back in 15 business days. One day for CENOMAR? Wow!

Thanks for the link, very resourceful!

BTW it does say on the link you included, under section D, that "Applicants aged 16 years and older must have a valid Record Clearance." It doesn't say in that section that there are exceptions if she has not worked in a foreign country, etc.

And yes, I am curious to know where you got it in one day too!

Section "d" is about NBI clearances. All K-1ers need to submit an NBI clearance.

Section "e" is about foreign police clearances. K-1ers who worked overseas for more than six months must submit a foreign police clearance in addition to their NBI clearance.
