I-129F / K1 Police Reports (from other countries of residence)

[Gregory&Dyn 113]

My Filipino fiancé and I met in Kuwait in 2012 (I am an American Citizen). She has since returned home to the Philippines and I have returned home to the U.S.

Since returning to the Philippines, Dyn obtained her Philippines based NBI.

According to US Embassy in Manila instructions (as noted in the PDF link below), she (Dyn) must provide a "POLICE CERTIFICATE" from ALL countries she has lived in. However, when visiting the Kuwait Reciprocity Webpage (US Embassy in Kuwait) police records can only be obtained by US Citizens who currently live in Kuwait (see second link below)

KUWAIT Reiprocity Schedule (US Embassy in Kuwait)

http://travel.state.gov/content/visas/english/fees/reciprocity-by-country.html

QUESTIONS

1. Is a Police certificate / report from Kuwait an absolute must when applying / interviewing for the K1 visa in the Philippines? She worked in Kuwait for seven years as an OFW.

2. Dyn is currently completing her annulment (final decision will come from the judge on 17 June 2015). Does she have to obtain an NBI under both her married name and her maiden name (after the annulment)?

3. Dyn obtained her most recent NBI in March of 2015. How long is it good for? Will it be valid for a potential 2015 interview?

ive worked in kuwait too and its where i met my US citizen husband. and I am also annuled with my first marriage.

for the question number 1. no need to obtain police clearance from Kuwait. They will ask if you took a police clearance in kuwait but if not its not a problem.

question number 2. She will use her single name in her NBI clearance but there is a AKA (also known as) in which she will write her name with her ex husband's family name.

question number 3. If the NBI has been issued last March 2015 its good until September. the validity of NBI clearance at US embassy philippines is not more that 6 months.

goodluck to you both!

Not needed from Kuwait Kuwait is a waiver country as you can not get the police certificate except in person, USEM knows this.
