Is the NBI the same as the police clearance?

Police clearance is the pre-requisite docs for you to get the NBI clearance, therefore it is not the same.

Thanks....Do you know which one the consulate needs?

You will need the NBI clearance, and if you lived outside the Philippines for more than 6 month's, you will also need a Certificate of Clearance from the police in the country in which you lived. The NVC will request this clearance by sending you an official request which you will send along with payment and forms plus fingerprints to the official police agency in the country where you resided while abroad.

what if you lived out of the phils for over 6 months, over 7 years ago?

I believe my asawa says it does not matter when, it still must be obtained. But perhaps someone with experience will know different, as she was only out of the country in the past 2 years.

Applicants aged 16 years and older must also present police certificates from other countries where they have lived for six (6) months or more after reaching the age of 16. As with NBI clearances, foreign police certificates should be obtained in any maiden names, aliases or nicknames used while in the country in question, including different spellings you have used of those names. Country-specific information on how to secure police certificates is available on the State Department’s website at http://travel.state.gov/visa/fees/fees_3272.html.

POLICE CERTIFICATES: A police certificate is required from a country in which the applicant lived for more than one year (six months if you are applying for a K-1 or K-3 visa) after turning 16 years of age. As with NBI clearances, foreign police certificates should be obtained in any maiden names, married names, aliases or nicknames ever used while in the country in question, including different spellings of all names ever used. Information on how to secure police certificates from countries where these are available may be obtained by contacting U.S. Embassy Manila’s Immigrant Visa Branch or an Embassy/Consulate of the country from which the police certificate is required.

How to obtain a police clearance certificate:

The State Department's Visa Office offers online information on the availability of country documents (including police certificates) through its Country Document Finder. Click on the letter that begins the country name, select the country and scroll down to "Documents". Hope this helps
