Unobtainable police certificate

It completely depends upon the city. Some cities (Shanghai, for example) are easier than others. We lived in Changchun for 2 years, and they have different rules. The only person who can apply for the clearance (besides yourself), is the employer. No third party is allowed to do this (we tried!). Eventually my former employer agreed to help, after pressure from the owner of the school (I taught his daughter and I was her favorite teacher). The following documents were required:

 

-Copies of all passports used in China, both for myself and my wife

-Passport pages with all Chinese stamps

-Chinese residence permit (found inside the passport)

-Temporary residence permit (which we did not have)

-Exact address used in China

-Name change documents (if applicable), translated into Chinese

-Marriage certificate

-Power of attorney (both in English and in Chinese)

-Fees for the police certificate and the notary

Oh so they did help you! what a relief! Thank you. I used to study in Nanjing but don't have much of documents they need. Wonder if it will be hard to get. I lived and still live in Shanghai much longer though. And here should not be a problem. 

 

I'm so happy it all worked out for you, good luck with the rest!!! We are waiting for i-130 approval now.

I have contacted several agencies and two lawyers. None of the agencies can do it - they all say that they can try, but the likelihood of getting a police certificate without the resident registration form is very difficult, if not impossible. 

 

My school has said it's not possible.

 

I'm still waiting on a quotation from https://lawandborder.com/ and whether or not they can help me.

 

We have spent 18 months and thousands of dollars applying for this visa, only to be turned away by an unobtainable document. Surely there is another way to get approved. 

Hi! Did you end up getting the certificate from lawandborder? I have the same issue as you did and I want to use their services, but they ask for 100% prepayment, so I’m worried it might be a scam. I
