US Immigration from Philippines

Hi! How do you obtain Thai Police Clearance in the Philippines these days?

I found the following instructions on a thread dating back to 2012; are the following instructions still the same?

I have had two people now ask me how to obtain Thai Police clearance. I've decided to post here how we did it in case it's useful for others. Note that this assumes you are in Manila, and can access the DFA and the Thai Embassy there.

Procedure for obtaining Thai Police Clearance if you are living in Manila.

Here is a brief outline of how we got our Thai PoliceClearance:

1) Get NBI Clearance from NBI Service Center

2) Get THREE full sets of fingerprints from a local policestation or NBI.

3) Take the above documents to the DFA to have themauthenticated.

4) Take them, along with other required documentation., tothe Thai Embassy.

5) The Thai embassy will keep your documents for about aweek.

6) Pick up your documents from the Thai Embassy.

7) Mail all the documents along with a self-addressed envelope to Thailand.

8)The Royal Thai Police will send your police clearance in about 3 to 4 weeks.

Hi,

I am a US Citizen by birth.

My (now) wife immigrated from Philippines under a K-1 visa (by me) with 3 children (K-2 visas) in 2008.

We married, went through Change of Status, Removal of Conditions for her and kids normally and without problems.

Wife and eldest child (who aged out) received US Citizenship and US Passports through Naturalization process, receiving US Certificates of Citizenship at that time. (2016 timeframe)

2 younger children (underage at 2016 timeframe) received US Passports through application by their mother.

Do the 2 younger children need to apply for Certificate of Citizenship using N-600?

Confusion for me: What does the CoC provide that possession of Passport not?

Thanks in Advance.

After my last two posts on this website, I'm glad to say that I dropped off my passport with my 221g just yesterday, April 28th, 2025. I'm happy, but now there are new concerns. Is there an estimate on how long it usually takes to hear back after that? The waiting game feels really hard to do.

Hi everyone. Has anyone here obtained a police clearance from Thailand while in the Philippines/outside of Thailand? How would we go about doing that? Thank you for answering.

Hello. a few things we are very confused about,

we are about to file for the AOS and getting together all the supporting documents, and I'm really not clear about some of what is being asked of us.

according to some guides and other posts on here, you need your tax transcripts and w2's, which is all well and good. where i get confused is where some suggest that you need "copies of your full tax return" and "all schedules"

pardon my ignorance, but by "full tax return" does it mean only the 1040 (which ranges from 2-5 pages depending on the year) or the full 20+ page packet that was returned to me upon completion of my taxes which include such forms as 540, 3514, 8880 and such?

I'm also not very familiar with what a "schedule" is in regards to taxes.

any information and help is greatly appreciated

thank you
