09-25-2007 = Touch (first-ever).

09-28-2007 = NOA1, 23 days after their 45-day promise to send it (grrrr).

10-20 & 11-14-2007 = Phoned ImmOffs; "still pending."

12-11-2007 = 180 days; file is "between workstations, may be early Jan."; touches 12/11 & 12/12.

12-18-2007 = Call; file is with Division 9 ofcr. (bckgrnd check); e-prompt to shake it; touch.

12-19-2007 = NOA2 by e-mail & web, dated 12-18-07 (187 days; 201 per VJ); in mail 12/24/07.

01-23-2008 = Consulate gets file; outdated Packet 4 mailed to fiancee 1/27/08; rec'd 3/3/08.

04-29-2008 = Fiancee's 4-min. consular interview, 8:30 a.m.; much evidence brought but not allowed to be presented (consul: "More proof! Second interview! Bring your fiance!").

05-05-2008 = Infuriating $12 call to non-English-speaking consulate appointment-setter.

05-06-2008 = Better $12 call to English-speaker; "joint" interview date 6/30/08 (my selection).

06-30-2008 = Stokes Interrogations w/Ecuadorian (not USC); "wait 2 weeks; we'll mail her."

07-2008 = Daily calls to DOS: "currently processing"; 8/05 = Phoned consulate, got Section Chief; wrote him.

08-07-08 = E-mail from consulate, promising to issue visa "as soon as we get her passport" (on 8/12, per DHL).

They are very uncooperative. Go to my website/guide and I have a page there for every country and what the procedures are for police clearance.

Saudi is a waiver country, you can not obtain the police certificate except in person, the embassy knows this so the requirement is waived.

We asked this question before and we got a response of saudi is a waiver country but we still decided to get the police clearance while i was in saudi. We dont know what future holds for us during the interview and Yes you are right saudi is very hassle country to get the police clearance but it was the only way to make me and my fiance stop worrying about not having a police clearance from saudi during the interview. It took me almost a month before i got my police clearance and i got 3 days leave work from the hospital and i was about to lose my patience.

I bet they never asked for the PC from Saudi during your interview.

Let us know if they ask for it. I'd be curious to know. Good luck with your interview. It sounds like you are ready.

Being your were there, it is a simple process to obtain the PC. The CO might get a grin out of you having a PC from Saudi
