Ran into a problem With getting a police clearance for interview documents.

[Tim and Almy 5]

Hello, I have ran into a problem And i am really hoping someone can please help me. This whole process is stressful enough now this. So my finance is from and now living in the Philippines. But she has previously worked abroad in Saudi Arabia for seven years. So she needs to acquire a police clearance from that country for her paper work . But when i go to U.S. DEPARTMENT of STATE — BUREAU of CONSULAR AFFAIRS. Then select Saudi Arabia, then select  Police,court. Prison records. it tells me this "Registration Criteria: Only Saudi citizens and non-citizens currently residing in Saudi Arabia can obtain a police certificate.  Saudi citizens outside of Saudi Arabia should contact the Saudi Embassy to inquire about the process of receiving a Criminal Record Certificate. Non-citizens not currently residing in the Saudi Arabia cannot obtain a police certificate." So my question is what would be  my next step to remedy this? So it doesn't seem she is arriving at her interview missing documents. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!!

As you say, it’s not available and it says that on the NVC country specific guidelines. https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/Visa-Reciprocity-and-Civil-Documents-by-Country/SaudiArabia.html

 

”Exceptions:  Police clearances are unavailable for third country nationals who no longer reside in the Kingdom.”

 

So you can’t provide something you can’t get. I’d just print a copy of the relevant page out and take it with you just in case.

The embassy will put the case in AP while they complete the background checks for Saudi

Thank you guys for the into. i will have her print out the page. so she can take it with her to show the interviewer. But also let her know that they may inform her about being put into AP status.

Print the U.S. Reciprocity Schedule page showing Saudi police certificates are not available to former residents. Include a short statement that she lived in Saudi Arabia but is no longer a resident, so she cannot get one. She may also contact the Saudi Embassy in Manila to ask, and keep proof of their response.
