Kaye,

you are the beneficiary.....you will not get NOA1, Your Petitioner will get a copy unless he changed address, did not forward mail from his old address to new address or put the incorrect address in the form. I will ask him to double check the copies he sent in...regarding the address.You should got something by now.....

....unless you are the Petitioner....and you are confusing us all....by using the beneficiary visajorney account....while visiting the Philippines..LOL

Kaye: I suggest, get a copy of everything your petitioner sent to USCIS.

[kaye 0]

sorry for confusing you guys i am the beneficiary and everyday i ask my fiance if he did get the hardcopy already but he always says no letter yet from uscis. i always keep track of our paper works since i'm usually online and not working while he is bz with his work.

i need a police clearance from maryland coz i previously lived there for 19 months as a j1 trainee and i am now back in the philippines and waiting impatiently for this K1 process.

i just wish he proposed to me while i was there hahaha and that i wont need to undergo and wait this long for the petition but then he realized that he wanted me back and gave me a visit here months ago and proposed and now im stuck here waiting and waiting and waiting......

Kaye, I hope this answer your question...

POLICE CERTIFICATES FROM THE USA

All applicants who are currently present in the USA or have stayed in the USA for six months or more must obtain Police Clearance from the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI).

1. First, have your full set of fingerprints taken by a recognized agency.

· Fingerprints for US record checks should be taken on the FBI fingerprint form, but you should NOT CONTACT ANY FBI OFFICE FOR FINGERPRINTING. You may request a blank fingerprint form by writing to the FBI at the address below.

· In the USA, fingerprints can usually be obtained from a local police department. You may also be fingerprinted at a regional office of the Department of Motor Vehicles or from a private organization engaged in the fingerprinting business.

(Consult your local directory for such an establishment.) Always specify that you require fingerprints for Canadian Immigration purposes.

· When you appear for fingerprinting you will need photo identification, such as a passport, and a letter from the Canadian Consulate. Be prepared to provide fingerprinting agents with details of your full name (including maiden name) and any aliases, date of birth, sex, race, social security number, proof of your identity, and the reasons for requesting such a record, i.e. Canadian Visa purposes.

· Fees for fingerprinting differ depending on location.

2. Fingerprints should be sent, along with a certified cheque or money order for US$18 made payable to the U.S Treasury, to:

FBI

Criminal Justice Information Services Division (CJIS Division)

1000 Custer Hollow Road

Clarksburg, West Virginia 26306

USA

The processing of these requests normally takes between six (6) and eight (8) weeks.

3. The FBI will send you the results of their check by returning your fingerprint card to you. That will be your police certificate.

You should send the card and any attached documents to the Regional Program Centre. All police certificates must be ORIGINALS, photocopies will not be accepted by our office.

i need a police clearance from maryland coz i previously lived there for 19 months as a j1 trainee and i am now back in the philippines and waiting impatiently for this K1 process.

Kaye,

I took my previous post from a Canadian embassy but i also suggest that you contact the US embassy in Manila since they may be able to help you regarding the Maryland police clearance.

I think they may have FBI office there too.You may want to ask how or if the fingerprint need to be certified.....

thanks eros! i was able to talk to the maryland police thing and they said i need to give them my fingerprints taken from the police station here in the philippines. or maybe she did not understood that i was in another country or something and was telling me to get it from a barack or fingerprinting somewhere in the usa. last friday i already went to NBI head office in manila and i had my fingerprint and they said i can get it after a week in DFA i just hope what i'm doing is right coz i don't want to waste all the money (shipping fee of PHP1400+gas i use to go to places plus i don't now how much DFA would ask from me for those certified fingerprints i did thru NBI ofc) and the hassle and then maryland police wont accept my fingerprinting thing.

i also tried calling up the USEM and ask about the police clearance from usa for my k1 requirement the girl i spoke with said to call the all center...i dont want to call them up and ask about the police clearance and pay $.98/min but i guess i should call them up to clarify things

i just hope somebody would have the same experience with me (lived in the USA for more than 6 months) and would be needing a police clearance from there...anybody out there??? hahaha

but really thanks for that info it made me realize that i should really call USEM before doing the next step hehehehe

8 months behind...still processing February.....

I-129F Petition for Alien Fiance(e) K-1/K-2 - Not yet married - fiance and/or dependent child February 01, 2008

don't let that concern you. the processing times on the USCIS website for K-1's are not accurate. there are members who received their NOA1's in Feb who now have their visas.

Did you change your screen name?

Who May Request a Copy of Record

(or Proof that a Record Does Not Exist)

Only the subject of the identification record can request a copy of his own FBI Identification Record.

How to Request a Copy of Record

1. Complete cover letter.

* If for a couple, family, etc., all persons must sign cover letter

* Include your complete mailing address

* If you have a deadline (e.g., an immigration deadline), please include the deadline in your cover letter and on the outside of the envelope.

2. Obtain proof of identity, which consists of a set of your fingerprints

(original card, no copies), with your name, date of birth and place of

birth. Fingerprints should be placed on a standard fingerprint form

(FD-258) commonly used for applicant or law enforcement purposes.

* Include rolled impressions of all ten fingerprints and impressions of all ten fingerprints taken simultaneously (these are sometimes referred to as plain or flat impressions.)

* If possible have your fingerprints taken by a fingerprinting technician (this service may be available at a Law Enforcement Agency.)

* Previously processed fingerprint cards will not be accepted.

3. Include $ 18 - U.S. dollars in the form of a money order, certified check

made payable to the Treasury of the United States, or you may pay by

credit card

* Be sure to sign where required

* No personal checks or cash

* Must be exact amount

* If for a couple, family, etc., include $18 for each person

* If paying by credit card you must include the completed credit card payment form

4. Mail the items #1, #2, #3 (listed above) to the following address:

FBI CJIS Division – Record Request

1000 Custer Hollow Road

Clarksburg, West Virginia 26306

Calendar Graphic

Please Note: If any of the above items are missing or incomplete, the request will be returned.

Allow approximately 3-4 weeks for processing, upon receipt to the FBI.

What You Will Receive

1. No Record Response – Consists of the original fingerprint card

stamped with the stamp “No Record.”

Or

2. FBI Identification Record

How to Challenge Your Record

Since the FBI's CJIS Division is not the source of the data appearing on Identification Records, and obtains all data thereon from fingerprint submissions or related identification forms submitted to the FBI by

local, state and federal agencies, the responsibility for authentication

and correction of such data rests upon the contributing agencies.

Therefore, the rules set forth for changing, correcting or updating such

data requires that the subject of an Identification Record make

application to the original contributing agency (e.g., police

department, county court, etc.).

An individual may challenge the information contained in the FBI

Identification Record by contacting the original agency that submitted

the information to the FBI or the state central repository in the state in

which the arrest occurred. These agencies will be able to furnish the

guidelines for correction of the Record. The FBI is not authorized to

modify the Record without written notification from the appropriate

criminal justice agency.
