NBI - 221(g) Silly Mistake

[Mike&Imelda 3]

Okay everything was smooth sailing except for one thing, and my fiancee got a 221(G) and needs a new NBI for an aka name.

You see when she was born her parents didn't name her yet. So her birth certificate says "Baby" [surname]. A week later they named her and the birth certificate has a supplement on the side with her given name.

So, she got a 221(g) and needs to get a new NBI with aka - "Baby [surname]". Just a heads up so others don't make the same silly mistake. I hope they don't find out she stole a pacifier from the crib next to hers in the maternity ward.

Seriously, I assume if she gets the NBI with her given name and the aka "baby" name and sends it back using 2GO, that is all they need to issue the visa? They kept her passport.

Rules are an AKA is needed for any and all names used... sadly the parents used that name for your fiancee, if only for a week. Silly...

Glad they didn't put "Uncertain"

Here is the official word:

NBI CLEARANCE (Green Form). 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 website is http://www.nbi.gov.ph.

All AKA's have to be searched or risk getting a 221(g) RFE. Save time and get it ahead of your interview.
