Hong Kong Police Clearance/Certificate of No Criminal Conviction

[Elishadams 0]

I am petitioning my wife to the United States. We are at the point where she is getting police clearances from the different countries she has lived in. We have run into an issue trying to get her police clearance/Certificate of No Criminal Conviction (CNCC). The Hong Kong Police Force asks for a request letter from the relevant government authority and a postal address of the relevant immigration authority to mail it. I called NVC and their representatives told me to send Hong Kong my wife’s Notice of Immigrant Visa Case Creation email letter. However, NVC doesn’t receive physical mail anymore. Has anyone else ran into this issue and where they have had Hong Kong send their CNCC to?

The immigration notice is all they should need. They forward the results from the background check directly to the Embassy that she will interview at. 

Just be sure to get everything sent that they ask for. Especially the "approved" stamp from the police department that does the fingerprinting.

No worries Elishadams, I have sent my Notice of Immigrant Visa Case Creation email to Hong Kong Police HQ to request the CNCC, and they accepted the copy of email. I suggest you can send a copy of email to Hong Kong police HQ then send an email to them to confirm.

I got Police Certificate in HK as well. Yes, they accept copy of the Notice of Immigrant Visa Case Creation. Just print a copy to bring to the Police Dept (Headquarters in Wanchai) (best to make appointment online ahead of time). At the appointment, they will give a receipt. You can upload the receipt at the NVC stage to show that the beneficiary took this step and the Police Cert will be sent to the US Consulate in HK directly.
