I need help so bad

[zhellzhelle 0]

I’m in the process of bringing my mom to the US. She worked in Israel for 18 years, retired a year ago, and returned to Manila. After submitting some requirements, they asked for a police clearance from Israel. I contacted the Israeli embassy, and they told me to email or contact the US embassy to request a letter for the police clearance. I’m confused—can I just write the request letter myself instead of having the US embassy do it? Has anyone else experienced this?

Procedure for Obtaining: Israeli citizens or Jerusalem ID holders can request an Israeli Criminal Information Certificate (ICIC). The certificate will be sent directly to the embassy or consulate and is never sent directly to the requestor. Applicants may request the certificate at their nearest police station or online at https://forms.gov.il/globaldata/getsequence/getHtmlForm.aspx?formType=criminaldocument@police.gov.il (Hebrew only). Former residents of Israel may apply in person at an Israeli embassy or consulate or online using the link above. For requests made online, applicants should specify the U.S. Embassy or Consulate where they are applying (e.g., “U.S. Embassy Jerusalem”) as the requesting agency. The Israeli National Police will mail the certificate to the U.S. Embassy in Jerusalem.  If applicants have their certificates sent to the U.S. Embassy in Jerusalem even though they are applying elsewhere, the U.S. Embassy in Jerusalem will email the certificate to the Consular Section at the U.S. embassy or consulate where they are applying upon request from the Consular Section.
