Dubai Question

[DanielNJ 0]

Hello,

I am about to submit the 129F apparently. The person I am dating worked in Dubai for almost 8 years. 
Does she need to get police clearance in Dubai? If Yes, how does she do this?

“Apparently” and “the person I am dating” ?   Doesn’t bode well for the bonafides of the relationship or the readiness for marriage.

 

But yes, she will need a police clearance and she will need to investigate how to get that from Dubai.   Perhaps the website for their embassy in her country has info.
