Confused about police certficate/clearance that NVC is asking

[nachosph 0]

My wife lives in the Philippines, and has lived there all her life. i read here some people are saying my wife just needs an nbi clearance, but in the nvc iv packet, it is required i present a police clearance. i had my wife get one in her local city hall. Will that do? I was assuming the NBi clearance will be requested upon interview, and not with the IV packet.

If your wife have not stayed outside Philippines for more than 6 months, then you only need NBI clearance for her IV packet. you don't need to get a Local police clearance from the city.

NBI clearance is the Police clearance/Certificate for Filipinos. Send the original one with the IV document , and she can bring the personal copy during her interview.

Hi, just send the green NBI COPY to NVC but make sure it says no record on file or you will have to get a letter later when you get to embassy
