Syria Police Clearance

[Bjorn&lyne 20]

Does any Filippina K-1 applicant here have any experience with getting the Syria police clearance for a time period prior to the civil unrest started in 2011? In other words, can the Syrian consulate in Manila even get a police clearance for Filippinas who worked in Syria 200-2011 considering the civil unrest in Syria now?

I would contact the embassy on this. Info in my link below

Thanks, I will. I will also contact US embassy in Syria and ask if they have any information about this.

Contacting the U.S. embassy in Syria will be of little help.

From my guide (linked below)

***Police Certificate (other countries)***

Here is a link to info regarding Police Certificates, some countries will not issue them except in person so the police certificate is waived for those countries by the embassy.

I I just learned that the US no longer has diplomatic relations with Syria. Getting this police clearance proves pretty tricky. I wish the NVC had some understanding that the situation in Syria makes such police clearance difficult to get and allowed some flexibility in this.

Which brings things back to contacting USEM about this
