Is the K1 beneficiary still residing in Kuwait?

 

From https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/Visa-Reciprocity-and-Civil-Documents-by-Country/Kuwait.html -- "A police clearance certificate is required for U.S. immigrant visa applicants age 18 and over who are currently residing in Kuwait for 6 months or more. This is not available for former residents of Kuwait."

I know they're living in the Philippines. From the information I can find it's almost impossible to get something from Kuwait without having somebody there. And I did read online somewhere where someone said they didn't even ask for her police certificate from Kuwait because it was so hard to get

My wife work in Kuwait then went home and we married shortly after. In Kuwait you can only get a police clearance if you were still residing there. For her interview we just printed the requirements to get a police clearance in Kuwait and also the Reciprocity. My wife presented that when asked and no more was asked about it.
