Police Certificate, Jordan Certificates for Syrian Nationals

[socaltoseattle 0]

So my Fiancee who is a Syrian living in Amman, Jordan has her K1 interview at the US embassy in two days. While believe it or not we were able to obtain a brand new police report from Syria, the Jordanian government would not issue her one. Although she has a form of residency in Jordan and has been living there legally for a year it has been nearly impossible to get a certificate from the Jordanian government. I know it says that she needs to have one from every country she has stayed in for over a certain a period, but the situation in this country is less than ideal. Just wondering how accommodating are the consular officers on these sort of issues also if anyone else has gone through something similar any advice would be great. Thanks.

there is no flexibility, you must get a police clearance certificate from every country she has lived in for 6 months or more from the age of 16. Why is it impossible to get one? my husband didn't have any issues, it took 2 weeks to get it, and it wasn't difficult. He went and had his fingerprints taken, they did a short interview and returned 2 weeks later to pick it up.

I sent you the information for where she needs to go in a private message. Good luck and keep me updated!

I have submitted "Certificate of Non Criminal Record from Ministry of Justice " but the embassy refused that one and sent me an email about what should be done.

Please read below on how to process Jordanian police clearance.

Police Records

Available to resident Jordanian citizens and foreigners. The General Intelligence Directorate (GID) is responsible for issuing good conduct certificates. They are considered to be reliable, but cover primarily security-related records, i.e. not necessarily criminal information. These certificates must be applied for in person at the local GID office, and are valid for one year. It takes up to two weeks to obtain the certificate from the GID. Foreigners must reside continuously in Jordan for six months before the GID will issue a certificate. There are no procedures to obtain these certificates through Jordanian embassies in foreign countries.

its clearly mentioned that "Jordanian citizens and foreigners" so i don't think you should face any problems issuing this certificate.

Other than this; I am Jordanian living in Kuwait so the same happened to me when i tried to issue a Police Clearance Certificate from Kuwait and they have asked for a letter from the embassy, I sent an email to the embassy and received that letter, so maybe it's the same case with you, better to send an email to the US embassy in Jordan so they may give you a letter.

Hope this is helpful for you. Good luck

By the way i can't see what you sent in a private message, and FYI they have mentioned " There are no procedures to obtain these certificates through Jordanian embassies in foreign countries" but i got it through the embassy.

yup I know you can't see what I sent in private, but you can see my reply above where I told him I sent it. They don't need to get it through a foreign embassy, she has been living in Amman for a year.
