Question about NBI clearance and CENOMAR

[Hank_ 9,174]

Hank, i can assure you that I don't doubt you at all on the embassy requesting new ones. And it certainly won't hurt anything to get a new one if older than six months. My only point was that if it is not expired, they wlll not ask for another one just because of the date on one. If they have any questions at all as to the accuracy of the document, they will request another one regardless of the expiration date. This applies to any documents that come from the NBI or NSO. They will also request the agency to send them a copy straight to the embassy without the applicant handling it to ensure that it has not been altered. They just use the date as an excuse to keep from having to tell the applicant that they want to verify the accuracy of the document (much less possible trouble this way).

Also Hank, while not exactly on topic, I have read many of your replies and I must say that I have never seen you give what I would consider bad advice to anyone (where were you 10 years ago when I was petitioning my wife and didn't have a clue). My hat is off to you on this, and thanks for helping all the people that you have.

Oh, I agree that if there is concern with an NBI or NSO documents the embassy will ask for new ones in a heartbeat. Most common with the NBI is not doing an AKA for other names used.

Thanks, I appreciate. In my past life I worked with contracts and BS daily so I guess this stuff sort of fit like a glove... go figure.
