NVC has requested a police certificate from Bahrain where my husband currently resides. He has been there for 8 months. The new law in Bahrain which changed recently is that they do not provide a police certificate if you have not live in Bahrain for at least 2 years. My husband has been trying for an entire week going to various offices and meeting various authorities. However, they all keep saying the same thing. We cannot provide a police certificate unless you have lived in Bahrain for at least 2 years. I know there is the option of writing a letter to NVC explaining the situation. But I have read in some places online that they may or may not accept that. Any advice on what would be the best thing to do from here?

what happened to a Moroccan who had worked 2 years in Saudi and they do not do criminal reports for aliens, is the case went into AP and was sent to the USA where it took 13 months for Homeland Security to get the report from Saudi

but it was approved case and all he needed was new medical for the next interview and he is in NY city now
