Police clearance problem (merged threads)

[travis1983 0]

Ok, so we have our NOA2 and just waiting on my state dept letter. My Filipina wife and I lived in China for a few years and long story short she needs to execute a power of atty and other documents....again very long story.

 

The Chinese Embassy (who will authenticate her documents) requires...

 

1. Notarized documents (no problem)

2. Regional Trial Court authentication.....THIS IS WHERE I AM CONFUSED AND HAVE FOUND LITTLE INFO ONLINE AS TO COST/TIME TAKEN/PROCEDURE

 

3. Dept Foreign Affairs authentication (pretty straight forward)

 

4. China Embassy for their little authentication procedure

 

 

Anyone ever hear of the Regional Trial Court part? I have seen it mentioned, and my Chinese atty said we need it as well.

 

Thanks

Thanks, but it is actually a Philippine based question.

Yes but the question is in regards to receiving documents from China, so it would be best to ask in the Chinese forum where others likely have answers for you and know the process, or where others may have already asked and been answered

While I might disagree,  then if you truly believe so, then by applying the same logic,  Philippines regional forum

Ok so as of now we have the State Dept letter coming and soon to submit NVC documents. My wife is Filipina and applying at the US Embassy in Manila.

 

The only area that concerns me is the police check. She has NO record in PH and can easily get a clean NBI or other clearances, no problem,

 

We are having a serious problem getting the Chinese authorities to issue her a Chinese police clearance (we lived there for 3 years).

 

My attorney in China has been working on this since April, and we are in the last few days of this process. 

 

In your experiences... if one cannot secure a police clearance from a secondary country for the US visa, but can supply evidence and a letter from an attorney explaining the reluctance of the Chinese to do so....is this usually a real problem to getting a visa?

 

I KNOW and have read the State Dept policy. I am asking for personal experiences.

 

And this is NOT a China specific question.

Again, this is concerning the US Embassy for a Filipino citizen in Manila. It would be the same for any background check from any country.

No. It's not a Filipino issue.   Its about getting a police clearance from Chinese authorities FROM China.  People who have interviewed in China do this as a STANDARD practice and possibly could share tips and techniques to get it done

I would contact the embassy and just ask them?
