Greetings VJ members,

A phone operator at the NVC said they no longer send out the letter naming the alien and listing the needed documents. Hong Kong requires this letter along with other documents to send the police clearance. The operator told me that they now do their own check for Hong Kong and we were no longer required to obtain it. I'm here to ask for confirmation of this or not from any recent Imigrants. I'm not sure if the operators always have good info.

... the letter would come from US embassy manila ...

... request one, personally, after obtaining MNL number ...

... will take 3-4 weeks for HK authorities to send documents to USEM ...

... good luck...

If that is true, it is a very recent change that has happened since July, when my wife went thru the process. It would be much easier for you, since NVC or the Embassy would be taking care of it. It was NOT a convenient process to apply for that clearance from HK from the provinces in the Philippines. In fact, I'm not sure how we would have done if my wife didn't have a niece working in HK at the time. I have my doubts as to the accuracy of what you were told, though...the NVC 1st tier operators are notoriously inaccurate.

Hello,

I'm now at this point were you have been (1)years ago, can you please tell me how this turned out for you? Did you have to wait for the letter from US Consulate? or formal request from NVC?

My wife still live and work in Hong Kong and needs to apply now for her HK police clearance and got a RFE for not having the HK police clearance inside the IV Package with the DS-230, I told them HK don't issue the Police reports to people, but they must apply after formal request from the US Consulate! I'm so confused...

Thank You :thumbs:

Well, here's the official word -

http://travel.state.gov/visa/fees/fees_5455.html?cid=8994#docs

scroll down to the Police Certificates Section.

However, IF this has changed, it's not been updated back at the DoS Site, at all.

Sometimes my language usage seems confusing - please feel free to 'read it twice', just in case !
Ya know, you can find the answer to your question with the advanced search tool, when using a PC? Ditch the handphone, come back later on a PC, and try again.
