From what the previous threads are saying you need the letter (with the case number) from the NVC.  You don't have a timeline completed.  How far in the process are you?

that's great. it's for my fiancé, since he worked in HongKong for 8 months. then He's currently working in Montreal and hopefully the NOA2 arrived soon since his working permit expires January2018. they say, getting the police clearance takes 2months in hk.. that's why we're worried :/

Two months is too long we can say 4-5 weeks since they need to send it overseas 

mine was only three weeks

goodluck

nice  thanks for the info.. hopefully we'll receive the NOA2 sooner than expected  do you have any idea of transferring consulate? like, instead Montreal, it will be transferred to Manila?

You can search here in vj there are some who do the same but it takes longer if you transfer.

We have similar situation with your fiancé. I worked in Hongkong so I need to obtain Hongkong Certificate of No Criminal Conviction too. It is clearly stated in the Hongkong Police website that " A photocopy of a letter from the relevant Consulate / Immigration Authority / Government Authority, which contains his or her name and clearly indicates that the production of the Certificate is required." http://www.police.gov.hk/ppp_en/11_useful_info/cert_no_crime.html. I waited for the letter from NVC which already have my name, the case number, the US Consulate where my interview is assigned, which is Montreal. I downloaded and filled in the application forms from that site and had my fingerprints taken by authorized fingerprint agency here in Montreal. Then I sent my application to my sister in Hongkong with authorization letter thru Canada Post Express Mail, I paid 65 CAD but it was delivered within 5 days. Then my sister applied on my behalf and the police officer told her it will take 6 weeks to send the Certificate directly to the US Consulate in Montreal. My sister requested in May 11 and the US Consulate Montreal received it before June 20 since as soon as I saw they updated our case at CEAC, I emailed them to ask if they did receive my HK CNCC,  they immediately confirmed receipt. 

 

My work permit is also expiring in Feb. 2018. My advise, when your fiancé sends the Packet 3, make sure he includes a copy of his work permit to establish his status in Canada.

oh nooo, really? it takes 6 weeks? gosh. i guess the hk police clearance will be the reason of "delay" haha (hopefully not)  we're planning to transfer the interview in Manila, Ph but we're worried that it will take a while.. like, additional 2-3 months more. More waiting period.. lol

 

Anyways, thanks for the info. really appreciate it a lot.

how long does it take for you to receive the NOA 2 btw?

Im going to throw a twist into the HK Police clearance topic.. My Fiance, originally entered into HK under her maiden name.. went back to Philippines to marry,  and then came back to HK with her Married name/passport 2 years later. Now, shes afraid to ask for her clearance papers as she feels she entered back into the country illegally.  Oh by the way, her original passport has a different year of birth so she could work in Lebanon at an earlier age. The request for the Lebanon police records have already been requested. 

 

Not sure if I worded this correctly or not, but thats the jist of it. Same person, 2 different passport names, 2 different dates of birth. She feels that she wants to take care of this mess once she returns back home.. suggestion or comments?

 

Thanks.
