True or Fake Checklist?

[luckytwentyone 1]

I've read people saying they have received a fake checklist. Can somebody tell me if this is true or fake checklist? I have passed all of these documents last March 15, 2015. I called NVC and talked to a rude rep. a while ago. She insisted that I never sent these things and they only got an AOS of my joint sponsor (1st checklist) on their system. She even let me choose either I sent these papers again and wait for 30 days AGAIN or she escalates this to her supervisor and wait for 42 days without a guarantee that she could fix it. Some good choices! Ugh! This is unbelievable! How would I get my first checklist if I haven't sent these documents in the first place?

______10 - PHILIPPINES NBI CLEARANCE:______________________________

POLICE RECORDS

Available and reasonably reliable. Philippine-born immigrant visa applicants 16 years and over are

required to furnish certificates issued by the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI). The green NBI

certificate annotated for travel abroad is the correct certificate. Other colors are for local use only.

Foreign-born applicants who have resided in the Philippines for six months or more may be issued NBI

clearances upon application either in person or by mail. Applicants residing outside the Philippines

should send requests for certificates together with money orders or bank drafts for the fees and postage

to IRD-Mailed Clearance Section, National Bureau of Investigation, Taft Avenue, Metro Manila,

Philippines. Philippine Embassies abroad can assist Filipinos in obtaining NBI police clearances. The

NBI has its own fingerprint charts and personal data forms that it will send to the requesting applicant

for execution. Most applicants abroad find it more expeditious to have a relative or friend in the

Philippines assist them in obtaining their certificates from the NBI. In that instance, a letter of

authorization is required. The applicant may also submit a copy (“personal copy”) of a prior NBI

clearance to facilitate the processing of a new clearance. Posts are advised that not all arrests and

convictions occurring outside of Manila are reported to the NBI. NBI’s criminal records database is not

foolproof and the remarks provided on reports require explanation.* Manila and major Philippine cities

have computerized records.

FEES

Application in person: 115 pesos

Application by mail: 200 pesos which must be paid through money order or bank draft (negotiable in the

Philippines and payable to the Director of the National Bureau of Investigation).

it does seem specific, but it references ALL of the CIVIL docs.

if you already sent them in,

then

they are stuck in one of the various queues. there are several, before it gets to a reviewer's desk.

Sorry, queues abound.

I say wait 2 weeks, then revisit it.

HI Darnell. Thanks for the reply. You think so? You see, I'm in the US now on tourist visa and I can't get my hands on those documents they need since my return trip would still be this September. That's why I'm so frustrated right now.

[Darnell 8,478]

ya, give it two weeks. you're certain they were sent in,

and

there are several queues at NVC, between hitting the mailroom door and landing on a reviewer's desk.

I know March 2015 is a long ways off, prior history stuff - usually 60 days is minimal, 90 days is max, and it's past the max queue load duration gap. (my label for it)

you send it in with tracking? there's a tracking # on the carrier/courier/service? what do they report?

Got two tracking numbers last March and June. 1st was for all the civil documents, second was for my first checklist response. It said they were all sent, were received and signed by some person. There must be really something wrong with their system. Ironic how they made it really easy for my tourist visa but they're making it real hard for this permanent visa. I'm not sure if I should be happy about it.

did you put your Case Number at the upper right portion of each civil docs that you sent to NVC?

[luckytwentyone 1]

did you put your Case Number at the upper right portion of each civil docs that you sent to NVC?

Yes, I did. Upper right and every single page of it. Checked twice and double checked by my husband. That's why I'm really wondering why. I don't know if this makes sense to them but why didn't they include these civil documents on my first checklist IF they had problems with it or never received it in the first place? Why do they have to separate it with a second checklist? Whyyyyyyyy??? Starting to be whiney...

When corresponding to immigration, copy all documents you send, enclose a letter of what is enclosed, always remember the bar code page and send it certified, keeping the signed receipt. And yes, put case number in upper right hand corner of each and every page including photos. Cover your butt
