Police Clearance from Brunei

[James and Cynthia 70]

Could the information posted at travel.state.gov be out of date for getting police clearance from Brunei. The info is posted here http://travel.state.gov/visa/fees/fees_4881.html?cid=3522#docs

My fiancee thought it might be quicker and easier to go to the Brunei Embassy in Philippines rather than mail a request to Brunei because she knew she would be moving from Taiwan back to Philippines within a month. When she went to the embassy in Philippines, they gave her a different list of requirements. These requirements include new things like an application, passport type photo, and photo copy of request from US embassy. The requirements they gave her are attached.

The first two new requirements sound easy, but how do I get a request letter from the US embassy? I hope we don't have to wait for NOA2 on my fiancee's K1-Visa process. I'm afraid things will be delayed if we do that. Could it be that the Brunei Embassy in Philippines has different requirements than simply mailing directly to Brunei as shown on travel.state.gov?

This is the same information that I said I obtained in the link I posted. Why does this not match what the Brunei Embassy in Philippines wants? Maybe it is not up to date. How do I get request from US emabassy in the list of requirements the embassy in the Philippines gave us?

I know this is an old post, but my fiancee went to the Brunei embassy in Calgary today and they said it would be $40. and a 3 to 4 month wait! I really hope what they told her is wrong, and the http://travel.state.gov info of 2 weeks is right!

Wow. Three to four months? Mabye your fiancee can have the interview without it.

In order for my fiancee to get her police clearance from Brunei, she had to get a request letter from the US embassy in Manila that it was needed. To get this, she had to wait for her case to get from the NVC to the embassy. They would not give her a request letter until the case was already there. Once the case arrived, she received her request letter from the US embassy and gave everything that was needed to the Brunei embassy. We went ahead and scheduled her interview, hoping the police clearance would come in time. When she went to the interview, she still hadn't received the police clearance. She showed them that she had requested it, but just hadn't received it yet. They passed her without it. The funning thing is, when she got home that day, the police clearance had just arrived.
