Hi all,

 

I wanted to double check if my husband needs to obtain a PCC from Kuwait. He was living and working there for more than 10 years, but left his job there in 2013. I read that he still needs a PCC but also that he can't get one unless he resides in Kuwait. Can someone please help me out, I am so confused.

as what @designguy said, it was written that it is not needed for the former resident. but if you still unsure, you can try to email or call the US embassy where your husband reside. i had same situation (different countries) before, and the US embassy where i reside said that i don't need it, so i follow their instruction
