Hello everyone I’m a newbie here. Im a Filipina working as A nUrse here in Riyadh with a Filipino US citizen fiancé.  Were there some of you here who processed their K1 here in Riyadh? Need some guidelines huhu thank you! 

Concerns:

- how to get NBI  clearance from Philippines? 

-while getting police clearance some of my friends told me from Phil. Embassya they will give endorsement or should I get it to the US embassy here in riyadh? 

-how long does it takes your visa?

-how was the interview?

Here is the online link:

As for police clearance - that is from Riyadh, not from the Philippines  - for the Philippines that is the NBI!    

 

Very few here in the Philippines forum will know the process or timeline for processing from Riyadh, for that information you would do better to go to that sub-forum.

NBI clearance - I tried requesting from Phil Embassy in Riyadh but nothing happens after 2 months. I even ask my sister in the Philippines but still no luck. I would recommend and easier to take it in the Philippines. Took mine for 2 days (got hit) when I went for vacation.  

 

Police Clearance - send an email to US Embassy Riyadh. They will give you an Arabic letter addressed to the Saudi Authorities - https://sa.usembassy.gov/wp-content/uploads/sites/60/2017/03/request-for-saudi-police-certificate-updated-26-march-2017.pdf

Once you got the letter, proceed to MOFA for authentication stamp, or ask help from your Liaison Officer (Wakala).

Proceed to Deira Police Station for fingerprinting, bring copies of your IQAMA, letter from US Embassy, Passport, 2 pcs 2x2 picture.

It will take 14 days to release the Police Clearance.

 

How long does it take your visa? - case to case basis, some took a week, some months. Mine was IR1, took me 2 weeks from the date of interview.

 

How was the interview? - questions are mostly related to your fiance and your relationship. It was a casual interview and it was easier than I expected.

 

Good luck.
