We ended up applying through the Egyptian embassy in Rome. It seems like we were the first non-Egyptian ever to apply for this document through the embassy. They did not know what to do with us at first. But after a long process of talking back-and-forth, they allowed us to apply for it they said it would take at least three months, but it arrived after two months. The hardest part was that we had to travel to Rome for applying for it and for picking it up (5 hour drive).

I am American, and I am petitioning for my Italian wife to get a green card. We are at the stage where we are applying with the NVC. My wife lived in Egypt for over six months, so she needs to get a police clearance certificate from Egypt. But she is no longer living in Egypt. To complicate things, she never had any form of ID or residency. She stayed on a tourist visa for 6 month stints, leaving shortly and then returning. She never stayed illegally, but she was always there on a tourist visa. 1. Does anyone know if she can get a police certificate? 2. If so, do you recommend traveling to Egypt to do this? Our Egyptian friends say this is an easy document to get for a citizen but the are not sure about foreigners obtaining one.
