I am a US citizen trying to bring my wife to the States. She lived in China for 2 years, but has been living back home in Ghana for the last 5 years. The US Embassy in Ghana requested a Police Certificate or Certificate of No Criminal Convictions from her, from China, before they can grant her the Visa. She had her Spouse Visa Interview 3 months ago. How do we go on about getting this document??? We looked everywhere and cannot find any useful information. From what I understand, you need to either be in China or appoint someone you know in China to obtain these Police Certificates. They also have online agencies that claim they can obtain these Police Certificates for a huge fee, and some of them look like they could be scams. When my wife was in China, she lived in “Weifang” and “Shenyang.” Any advice, links, or directions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Let her reach out to Chinese embassy in Ghana, maybe she can get from there.

Oh yes, I should have mentioned that the Chinese Embassy cannot do anything either...

You were given advice in the other thread on how to obtain it.  You don't have a choice but to go there and work with the local Chinese officials to obtain this certificate, or pay a lawyer or one of those services to obtain it on your behalf.  The fees are quite high because it involves a lot of work hours, and likely making trips to the town you were registered in order to get you the certificate you need.

You can most likely hire a lawyer in China to do it on her behalf.

They love making it difficult.

Hello

i had to go through this back in 2015. Luckily i had a friend in Beijing present there. But due to language barrier I still had to go through a private agency . I had to write an authorization letter stating that my friend is authorized to apply and obtain the certificate on my behalf.He payed the agent some fee ( $70-80 i think) and got the document in a very short period of time. Police certificate was translated and notarized by the same agent.

 If your wife was in Beijing i can try to find agents phone and address  that i hired to do the job.

Hello, I have not been on here for a long time... anyway, thank you very much for your advice. My wife has not been to China in years, and she lost her contacts there, but thankfully we found a valid agency to get the job done (Pete Zhang, China Travel Docs, Consultancy... based in Shenyang).
