Singapore Police Clearance (merged)

[Pack88 4]

  Hello VJ'ers:  My lady and I recently filed our I-129f paperwork and have received our NOA-1.  Now comes the months of no contact (please no RFI's) and we are attempting to get as many things done before they let us know to get ready for our interview.  One of the items I know we well need is a Singapore Police Clearance.  I have been in contact with a couple of previous filers and have been given the web site support from the Singapore Police and how to secure this clearance.  My question is this,  it seems in the last few years,  Singapore will not grant a request for a police clearance unless  you are a Singapore citizen.  I have read there is a form  or letter they require from the US Embassy that indicates none of the alternative's they offer will suffice the  US requirement. 

 

  I have contacted the US Embassy for assistance but phone and staffing problems  have prevented me from securing an answer.  I am thus hoping that someone who has secured a clearance from  Singapore tell me what form or letter they were provided by the embassy!

 

Thanks

Your looking in the wrong area for the answer to your question. Start here:

 

https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/Visa-Reciprocity-and-Civil-Documents-by-Country.html

 

Once you land on the page, review the left column, and select the first letter of the country you want to access. Then select your country and once you land on the page for the country your looking for scroll down a bit and find "Police, Court, Prison Records" tab and select it. First thing you want to know is if you are not physically in the country to request your PCC will they provide one. If they don't provide one because of the requirement that you have to be personally in the country, then you will not need one from that country. Take a screen shot and print the page off to bring with you to the interview. Most CO's know which country's you can get a PCC from without too much trouble. In the event the CO does not know this for one of your country's you can offer the screen shot in your defense.

OP's fiance will need PCC from Singapore. https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/Visa-Reciprocity-and-Civil-Documents-by-Country/Singapore.html But Singapore will request "Photocopy of document from relevant consulate/immigration authority/government bodies or other requestor to establish that the certificate is required by such authority and that a statutory declaration of no criminal conviction by the applicant is not acceptable as evidence that s/he has no criminal convictions. All documents are to be translated into English if written in other languages."

You preaching to the choir. I didn't opine word for word what you said but you can extrapolate the same information from my reply to the OP. Especially since the OP needs to secure the letter from the Singapore Civil Document page that is reference from the link I shared. It's the one that I reference, and you did to. Your duplicating the answer.  OP has indicated that he found the information that he was looking for from my reply. Just saying.

Hello  VJ'ers on the Philippine Blog!  Recently I posted a question about getting a request for a Singapore Police Clearance.  I have to give big prop's to Greenbaum-  he wired me up with the form and while filling it out two questions popped up that I am hoping someone who has recently ran this marathon can help me with! 

 

1)   At the top of the top of the form there is a spot where it says "Post"  My question is does the form need to say Manilla next to the Post Line?  If so how did you insert it as the PDF Form does not permit any entry there!

 

2)  The last section of the form asks for your case number.  My question is this number the case number I see assigned on my NOA-1 or will I have to wait until I get the NOA-2 from NVS to get the case number!!

 

Thanks

Q1 - POST = Manila. Print the form and write in the answer. Then recreate the document the way they need, paper or PDF.

Q2 - Case number from NVC. You can call and get that when the time comes.

 

For information is contained in the threads {month} 2020 NOA2 to NVC to Embassy. Go to the first page, first post and retrieve the PDF from the link that is posted. All the phone numbers etc. that you will need is listed there. A good reference guides.

 

Also, there is a sub-forum for the Philippines here on VJ that you should be a part of the conversation. It's a good place to read what others are experiencing which will better prepare you for your interview.
