Fingerprinting in Philippines

[JoSteph 3]

My fiance' just received her NOA 2 and wanted to get a jump start on obtaining the things she can attain while we wait for her package.  She lives near Iloilo City but doesn't know where to go to get fingerprinted.  Any advice?

What is the fingerprinting for?

 

And what package is she waiting for?

Any fingerprinting will be done by the embassy. You can't do it on your own.

Is your fiancée waiting for the Packet 3/Packet 4 (P3/P4)? The U.S. Embassy in Manila does not send those.

 

You should check out @Hank_'s website. It has a step-by-step guide for people who are applying for Spouse and Fiancé(e) Visas in the Philippines.

There are NO packages to wait for with the process for the Philippines, everything is online.

 

What does your fiancee need fingerprints for, does she need a foreign police clearance?

 

If you just received your NOA2 the next step is NVC .. it can take 2-4 weeks for USCIS to ship your case file to NVC, there the case file number (MNL) will be assigned (another couple weeks) .. once NVC is done the file will then be forwarded to the embassy.    You will want to contact NVC by email to request your MNL or wait for the letter to arrive in the mail.   Your fiancee will need a copy of the NVC letter/email for the medical at St. Luke's

 

Info for contacting NVC by email is in the K-1 section here:  https://www.visaconnection-philippines.com/nvc.html   once the case file ships NVC will reply to your email.

 

Once you have the email/letter with your MNL#  email a copy of this to your fiancee, she will need to print out two copies for SLEC for the medical

Once your CEAC status shows READY you can then proceed to schedule your interview with USEM.  Here is a link to a guide for the process.

Thanks for responding, she worked in Singapore for 15 years so we have to have COC from Singapore - Singapore Police require fingerprints from Philippines if the applicant is no longer in Singapore.

Thanks Hank - very much appreciated - my question was poorly worded.  We know that no package is coming to her, but the transfers between NVC and USEM - but she worked in Singapore for 15 years and will require police clearance in Singapore.  On their portal, they require proof of why police clearance is needed.  We will use the NOA2 and the requirements list from USCIS website requiring that she get police clearance for any place lived in more than 6 months.  But she lives in Iloilo and we are not sure if she can use the fingerprints she gets from NBI - she has an appointment on the 23rd.  Some people keep telling her that she has to go to Camp Krame in Manila.  Is that true or can we use the NBI - paperwork?

Recent stuff I heard was that Camp Crame won't do it anymore, that you have to go to NBI    I would check out Camp Crame just the same, as NBI can be a ####### to get them to do fingerprints.

ere is a link to the old instructions letter at the bottom of the K-1 section, that is on embassy letterhead  https://www.visaconnection-philippines.com/us-embassy-usem.html

 

Also there is a link to the DOS reciprocity website for the police clearance requirement

Our goal is to avoid having to go to Manila to do this - hopefully, NBI in Iloilo will accommodate our request.  Thanks again.
