UAE Police certificate

[Laws1212 4]

 

Has anyone here who worked in Dubai for 1 year or longer and recently went thru the interview in Manila been asked for UAE police clearance or did they let you go without it? Do they really waived it? Really worried about this, as i look up here some were given 221g letter due to lack of this document.

Anything actually unobtainable is not required.  If it is obtainable, it IS required.

Yes, you will be asked for it because you can get a PCC from the UAE. If you do not have it then you will be given a 221g and be forced to get it to approve your visa.

Greetings!

I used to be a resident in Dubai and Yes I was asked to obtain a Police Certificate during my interview in Manila. (but that was way before)  the last time I checked, I was surprised to know that they will only ask for it if you are physically present in the UAE. You might want to double check it with the US Embassy, in Manila.

The last post is correct as far as it goes but they left out this part, found lower on the same page.

 

Comments: Not available by mail. Post recommends that consular officers waive the general requirement to obtain police certificates unless the applicant lives in the UAE.
