The answer was given above.

Police clearances are unavailable if you are not a current resident or citizen of KSA. No Police report will be expected in your situation.

Its so nice when things go our way. I hope the rest of your journey is smooth too

Sherlock RFQ Holmes has found the answer herself thanks to another post about reciprocity somethin or another. (I have no idea what a reciprocity means)

On the UAE reciprocity page it states:

Police Records

Available, only if applicant is physically present in the UAE.

Police certificates may be obtained by any person, regardless of nationality, by personally appearing at the Central Police Headquarters located in the emirate of residence or former residence. When appearing to request a police certificate, the applicant should provide recent photographs, a letter from the requesting authority, the date of residence in the emirate, and their passport.

Not available by mail. Post recommends that consular officers waive the general requirement to obtain police certificates unless the applicant lives in the UAE.

isA someone else will find this helpful in the future

I had no problems either with my husband coming on a visitor visa. I was well into the I130 process (in fact my approval came while my husband was here). He told the person straight up that he had intentions to immigrate here but he was coming for a 2 month visit. He had the return ticket bought already. He bought a contract from his job at home for the next year but they asked for neither.

I did a forum scan and couldn't find an exact answer. Please don't move this to a region forum since it applies to those non-residents/citizens of Dubai who need clearance. If there is a more appropriate place for it though, feel free.

So this is what you find on the website: http://www.dubaipolice.gov.ae/dp/jsps/content/flat-content.do?contentCode=73851

Beneficiaries:

UAE Citizens and Residents those who are residing inside or outside the Country. An Applicants must have a minimum of 6 months residency in the U.A.E.

My husband is neither a resident or citizen. Does this mean prior residents or only current residents outside the country temporarily are the only ones who can get it?

At the bottom of the web page is this

Note: from abroad, you will not be able to complete the payment process.

Uhh...then how do you pay? I'm confused

And on the application it ask for:

* Job:

(As per your residence stamp)

So the bottom line is, I'm confused. My husband had a job in Dubai and resided there for a total of 13 months, but left the country to his home in Egypt (where he maintains his permanent address) for 2 months during that 13 months total. So in actuality he did not 'live' there for a solid 6 month period. I am not sure if we even need it though I prefer to have it, if its possible to get, to be on the safe side.

Can we get this Good Conduct or is it only for people currently in Dubai?

It is a good post Mithra. I have never heard it described as "hoovering," but I suppose its a good name to help the victim understand what is going on. I have heard it termed "honeymoon phase." Suddenly the couple are sooooo in love again. The abuser showers them with apologies, love, gifts. The abuser does everything right and is really going to change....until YOU (you= the victim) mess up again and make him/her assault you with something YOU did wrong that made him "slip up."

I highly recommend "Why does he do that? Inside the mind of angry and controlling men." http://www.amazon.com/Why-Does-He-That-Controlling/dp/0425191656

Some people might relate to this video:

*follows you from one forum to another* making my rounds too. I have the same ticker in the other forum and I posted in your thread.

Congrats!

I don't believe the OP requested advice or chastisement. I believe she asked a legitimate question.

If you can't say anything nice or helpful than don't say anything at all-- Anyone else ever heard this? The subsequent irrelevant comments can be viewed as rude or hateful because they did not have good intentions behind them.

nvm everyone else said it well

Best wishes! I pray everything works out in the best possible way.

Happy Eid everyone! Wishing Wael and I were in Alexandria celebrating with his wonderful family!

My DH left Cairo for Alexandria for a visit/holiday. Wishing I was anywhere he is but particularly there.

Wishing a joyful and blessed Eid to all Muslims!

I see. If its' just you and your granddad, then you do want to list your child support on YOUR I-864 and then have him file an I-864a as your household member. I will caution you thought that particularly elderly sponsor's can be problematic because they may not be around to fulfill the sponsorship obligations which are terminated by death of the sponsor. You might want to add a letter explaining what your career will be and when, to help the Consular Officer make a favorable decision on the public charge concern.

You should also be aware that your circumstances are at least a partial fit for a common fraud scenario from N. Africa. If you are also significantly older and of a different religion than your husband, you've got some huge red flags to overcome.

I am trying to figure the best route for sponsorships. I have a few people willing to co-sponsor on my behalf, the option of the household combined income, or I have the last resort assets measures of my spouse. (thinking the latter is not good to avoid red flags)

I realize my divorcee status w/ children is not a great scenario but we have a other strong points. He is older than I by several years so no worries on the age and we are both adherents of the same faith so I can cross at least 2 negatives off

If there is the possibility they will review a letter of my future employment possibility, then that will also look good. In 1 year I should be able to practice as a registered nurse. I will for sure include this then. Anything to make my future look less bleak!

Yes, I have essentially a 0 income minus child support, being a full time student. I wish to list my granddad as my combined household income as he covers the household expenses, and he likes my DH.

Okay so I don't claim child support when I file taxes but its recorded as household income (i think?). my Questions:

1)Do I mention it on the i864 (I could definitely use the help)?

2)I do not see anywhere special for that kind of income, so do I notate in somewhere in particular?

3)I don't have a very good paper trail, or much of one at all for the sporadic payments I receive. How can/should I document it?

4)My grandfather, I care for him in my household and his retirement takes care of us, but he is not my "dependent" per say. Can I use him as a household combined income sponsor?

I was separated from my XH for a couple years in which we have taxes filed together, but I don't have copies of his W2's, transcripts, nor do I have any income represented on it. I have only this year's tax form, filed HoH only on my pittance.

5) Do I bother with trying to get these from him? Does it matter since my individual income is 0?

6) I am confused on the marriage thing to, if my co-sponsor will report only their individual income or her combined income with her husband. (I don't need her husband's extra)

7) Also when it asked me income from taxes from last 3 years... well it includes my Xh's so... do I write 0 or what number we filed with?

Random

8)NAO2 July 26 with and NVC received date of Aug 5, but no NVC # yet. From what I can tell there is no rhyme or reason to how long this takes, right?

Sorry if I've overcomplicated this! Thanks for helping clarify

It does seem odd. I'd definitely double check!

i've seen it come up in a couple of comments now-did i miss when it suddenly became an easy, no big deal for the average, single, under age 65 MENA guy to get a tourist visa here? or an afghan? i was under the impression that in these here parts, they were still pretty much as rare as unicorns.

Idk... I guess we were extra blessed. It was a completely non event for us last February. No one batted an eye.

Firstly, do any of these apply? Special Immigrant Visa for Afghani... or Visas for Afghani Interpreter ?

Second- for our situation we obtained a visitor visa so he could come visit me. We met in public places for the first couple days and traveled with a chaperone. After that we were married and he returned home to Egypt. His tourist visa allowed for up to 6 months for 1 visit with the possibility of visiting as often as he pleased for 5 years. I am a single mother of two so I knew he would need to travel to meet me while we waited out the long haul for immigration. He stayed for 2 months this summer.

I deal with it like this... one smile and kind act at a time.

A few hours from me a mosque was burned to the ground during this past week, presumably arson since arson was a part of the attack at the beginning of the month. A good number of people from across this great country came together to fundraise on behalf of rebuilding the mosque, and in less than a week they had exceeded the 250,000k goal they set.

I have not known you through your journey but reviewing your profile and timeline I can see that you have fought a long, hard, and good fight for your relationship. I wish you two all the best.

Ah well... too bad its not so cut and dry, lol. God willing it will all work out in due time. I pray not with too much troubles. Its near impossible not to panic though if I did enough, did it right *head twists up in knots...can I change or should i change anything...* Shut up head!!! leave me alone. yep...I am conversing with myself. >.<

I'm not experienced, let alone an expert, on cases like yours. However, please come with as much evidence as you can to the interview. Even if it takes a suitcase to drag it in.

Good luck!

Hehee... and my DH thinks I'm crazy as it is with a big folder packed full of evidence that I sent home with him! He is also shy about including conversations and emails. Can I black out the contents of things so long as the names are included and times? He feels any conversation is personal. I told him if he wants to come back to me deal with it and likely they won't be reading every word but skimming.
