6. NBI CLEARANCE. Applicants aged 16 years and older must have a valid Record Clearance for

Travel Abroad Purposes from the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI). Clearances should be in

the applicant’s current name, birth certificate name, maiden name and any aliases or nicknames used,

including different spellings you have used of those names. An official letter of explanation from

the NBI is required for any notation of “No criminal record” or "No pending case”. For

immigration purposes, an NBI clearance is valid for one (1) year from the date it was issued. The

NBI web site is http://www.nbi.gov.ph.

NO CRIMINAL RECORD and NO CASE PENDING means she is in the NBI's database for a possible past offense or for someone else who has a similar name.

If her NBI says either of those two phrases, she needs to return to the NBI and request a letter of explanation as to WHAT she is in the database for. If she can't get a letter then she needs an explanation (verbal will do) so she can make any corrective action prior to the interview. Sometimes some are in the database because someone has a similar name or has a name like hers and what they did, created the "hit" for her. Don't panic, but get to the bottom of the problem and resolve the issue(s) prior to the interview if possible. Be stern in your request as sometimes you will be sent away with nothing. No resolving the problem will create a delay for the visa issuance.

If her form says something like NO RECORD ON FILE or NO DEROGATORY RECORD then she has nothing to worry about.

My wife had some information that was in her record and she attempted to get it cleared before the USEM interview visit. She had all the paperwork that was required two months ahead of the interview but, as you know or will soon find out, the Phil government is very slow at doing anything so her NBI records never got updated. It required an additional trip to Manila from Mindanao to clear her name and get the corrected NBI resubmitted so the 221(g) could be resolved. Soon as USEM had the updated NBI paperwork our visa was issued.
