Police certificate and interview scheduling for K1 in Malaysia

[studioguitarist 5]

It might useful for the folks with a fiancee in Malaysia to know that we just found out there has apparently been a change in the way you obtain your police report (Certificate of Good Conduct) in Malaysia. When my fiancee checked a few months ago, she was told to go to the department (I don't recall the name of the place) in KL and she would receive it the same day. When she called today to arrange to go there on Monday, she was told that the procedure has changed in the last few weeks. Now you must go online to www.lkn.gov.my create an account and then fill out the application online. The website said it will take 1 to 3 months!!! However, the officer that she spoke with over the phone told her it typically takes from one to three weeks. After filling out the application online, she was able to download and print the Acknowledgement of Application for Certificate of Good Conduct. The document says she can go to the website and log in (using her user ID and password) to check on the progress. She will call them on Monday to see if there is any way to speed up the process because we are hoping for an interview mid-October to the first week in November (hope hope hope).

Regarding scheduling the interview, I was informed by email by the embassy in KL that they only schedule these appointments for Tuesdays and Thursdays.

To avoid delays, I would suggest that you think about applying for the police certificate further in advance once you know that the NVC in the USA has sent your packet to KL. The embassy in KL is moving quickly on our case. I know that they first received the electronic file around September 8, the hard copy on September 10, and mailed the instruction packet on the same day (September 10).

I hope this helps someone...and if anyone knows of a faster way to get the police certificate in KL, I would sure like to know.

I applied for my certificate of Good Conduct a month ago online and got it processed in one week, I also called and the lady I spoke with said it takes about one month but ended up taking a week, you got nothing to worry about just process on time.
