NBI CLEARANCE/NO CRIMINAL RECORD?????

[busycharlie 0]

I have seen so many post about the NBI Clearance and the letter of explanation if certain remarks are on the clearnce and they seem to vary with explanations from the board here.

My question is why is a letter needed if there is no criminal record? Example, say someone has nothing on record with the police, or case, or whatever, just a clear background. What do they put on the clearance for this? I already had to send my fiance to Manila to the Bureau of Immigration and now another possible return for this. I guess they think i have a private jet for my fiance to fly around the Philippines in.

If anyone knows for sure thanks for your response.

My wife's NBI clearance says "NO RECORD ON FILE." That means the NBI has no information about her in their records. Another possible statement could be "NO DEROGATORY RECORD." However, if the statement says "NO CRIMINAL RECORD" that means there IS a record, and could mean that there was a case on record against the applicant, but the case was dismissed or cleared. In such a case an explanation would be needed. Sorry I don't think I explained this well, hope it helped anyway.

Thanks for the quick response. Do you know what the clearance can or wil say so there is no letter needed?

Thanks again.

I found a document I downloaded from the embassy website several months ago, concerning papers that should be brought to the interview. Here is what it says about the NBI clearance.

"8. NBI Clearance. Applicants aged 16 and older must have a valid Record Clearance for Travel Abroad

Purposes from the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI). An official NBI letter of explanation is required for

any notations of “No Criminal Record,” “No Criminal Conviction,” “No Pending Criminal Case,” or “With

Derogatory Record.” For immigration purposes, an NBI clearance is considered valid only for a year. "

Hehehehe!!! It's can be a tad more costly when the beneficiary is NOT within a reasonable distance of the places required to complete the process.

The first time one requests an NBI clearance, the record will read "No record on file." If a renewal is requested, the message will then read "No derogatory record." So no letter needed for either.

Well MJ got her NBI clearance and it says (no record on file). This is her third time getting one. She has never had any problems or anything related to having a record of any type so I don't know why it didn't come back as (no derogatory record). So now I have to find out if a letter is needed for these results. Stay tuned

well it happened to me. what i know is when we applied for one for the first time they will say "no record on file" assuming you've got no case. the 2nd time you'll apply, itll say no derogatory record. this will only happen if you will bring the old record for a "renewal". other wise if you get another one without the old record, they will again assume its ur first time and they will put "no record on file". my 1st and 2nd says no record on file but when i brought the 2nd clearance for applying the 3rd time it now said no derogatory record. i got panic and talked to the official and he explained it to me in that manner. lol.

StarProg you were right about not needing the letter for both. One less thing to get.
