Hi, i've worked in Malaysia too, how long is it valid? and are you able to extent the period?

in my country, all police certificates are valid for one year according to the US embassy website... im not pretty sure about your next question...extend the period of validity?

i made an online application to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Malaysia Official Portal on this site http://www.kln.gov.my/ go to e-Consular and then click Certificate of Good Conduct as they call it. you have to register as a new user first before you would be able to use the e-services...and then fill-up an online application form for pcc and once its done print them...together with the other documents needed as stated on the website and id pictures, submit all the documents to the Malaysian embassy in your country, pay a little fee and wait for the approval of your application online which can be found on the same website....once you see that your application has been approved print the page and submit it to the Malaysian embassy, and they will make the certificate for you signed by the consul general. ( Its just a piece of paper that says you have no adverse record with the government of Malaysia )

im not sure if the processing is the same from your country...but thats how i did it and i already got mine... ( Thank God )

hope this info could help you too...God Bless!

In Oman even if you are not in the country you can mail them what they need and they send it back within the same week of receiving it. The only extra time it will take is the time it takes to get the documents to Oman via fedex, maybe an additional 3 or 4 days. Oman is a very small country, they are very fast and efficient.

Oh thanks for this info...thats good news for hunnybunny then...such a great help!

My husband lived in Muscat, Oman for many many years before he lived in Jordan. He received his PCC in less than a week, and they sent it to him in Jordan. It does not take 2-4 months. To the OP: In Oman they will request your resident number, a copy of your biographic page from your passport and for 2 passport style photos. To obtain it you go to the police station in Al-Qurum, that is the only place in Oman that issues them. If you are not in Oman a friend or someone in the family can do it for you. My husband's sister who still lives in Oman did it for him last year and it literally took a few days to get it. It is printed in both English and Arabic so you won't need to have it translated. Good luck!!!

yeah i do agree that pcc can be obtain in just few days if you are personally present at the country where you need the pcc or someone you knew from there could help you get it on your behalf...

i got my china one in 3 days after application, coz i did it myself before leaving the country... but with the other 3...took me 2 to 3 months to get them...(that's if you dont have a friend or relative who could do the application for you....) i submitted my application to their embassy here in my country except for Thai pc where application must be submitted directly to the Thai Police service center Bangkok and can only be done by mail if you are not present in the country.

Great, I hope it works out. Please do post back here, as this sounds simpler for sure than what we had to go through.

Hi there...got my Thai Police certificate last week...it took 41 days from sending my documents to receiving the certificate...if my back did the telegraphic transfer just right, i could have it a little early...but thank God..it didn't get lost....one down 2 more to go...

I would like to have some information on Police Certificate required at the time of interview. I haven't received my NOA2 yet, but trying to gather some information beforehand.

Foreign police certificates: Applicants who have resided in any other country for one year or more after the age of 16 may also be required to submit police certificates for these countries. Applicants may check the visa reciprocity table on the website: www.travel.state.gov regarding obtaining such certificates. U.S. police certificates are not required for applicants who have lived in the U.S.A. Non-Indian immigrant visa applicants residing in India should obtain police certificates from the district police station serving their area of residence."

I have found the above information on US Embassy, New Delhi website in "INFORMATION FOR K1 (Fiancé) VISA APPLICANTS (PACKET 3)". After my previous marriage, I stayed in Oman for 13 years. Just before our separation I was on employment visa. When I got separated from my ex-husband, I resigned from my job & returned to India. So my employment visa automatically got cancelled. And I never went back to Oman after October 2007. I am staying in India for past 5.5 years now. In this case, is it mandatory for me to get Foreign Police Certificate from Oman?

Hi...yes its a must for anybody who is applying for a US visa to get police clearance from the country you used to stay for more than 6 months ( whether you stayed for work, studying, visit etc)...you should get one from Oman and it takes time to obtain one...(depending on the country) normally it takes 2- 4 months to get one.

i guess you should start getting information on how to get one from Oman while waiting for your NOA2...see if it possible to apply from their embassy in India.

I applied for Malaysia,Thai,Japan and China...

goodluck to you and hope this helps a bit.

God bless!

Makes sense, and we were prepared to do the same if need be. It took us a month after got the paperwork sent to Thailand, maybe 5 weeks. If you have enough time, it should be safe to do from Manila. But it will probably be easier yes to go to Thailand. Make sure she has some thing to show she was residing there, work permit, student permit, etc. Make sure she brings everything she'd need, it would suck to get there and realize they need some document she doesn't have!

went to the Royal Thai embassy to get all my papers authenticated and to my surprise, i was told that they dont do the old procedure anymore, but to contact the Philippine embassy bangkok instead and get some info from them...i made a research online and found out from another forum that i could do apply by mail and they have new procedure effective October of 2012...the Royal Thai police charges 100 Baht ( about 150 pesos ) for every application made from their office, and can be paid through telegraphic transfer, send a sopy of the transfer together with all the documents listed from their website, 2 sets of fingerprints, id, request letter from embassy etc...

i will try this procedure and i hope it will work just fine, for i am trying to save as much as i can for this process... ( used to work in few countries in asia )

for those who wants to know the updated procedure visit the website of the Police Clearance Service Center in bangkok....

we are on the same boat. dapat nung una ko pa prinocess yung pagkuha ng ID na gamit ung married name ko.

ok...i already went to NBI to get my clearance...tama c Patriot, nsa form na lahat ng info na dapat i fill-up, so i think there should be no problem...it will take 10 days though to get the clearance...balik ako Febuary 15...also got my fingerprints from NBI, walang bayad, pero sa DFA na ang release, dun yata may bayad for authentication...went to Philhealth today to update my status from single to Married....

You should use any names you have been known by, including aliases. I believe there is a place on the form to list all those. Of course you would include your new married name.

ok. thanks for the info and advice...this is really helpful...God bless!

You failed to follow the instructions to obtain an NBI clearance in all previous names used, including married names and maiden names. That us what is holding up your final approval.

hi...pano sa case ko? i got married last July, 2012. never ko pa ginamit surname ng husband ko...lahat ng documents and id's ko nasa maiden name ko pa rin including passport,

need ko ba include yung married name ko sa pagkuha ng NBI clearance? kukuha plang ako pra mai-ready for interview...tnx...God bless!

It's been 30 days since NOA2 and still no case number. I emailed the approval notice to nvc reasearch a week ago and still no response. NVC is so slow.

we got our NOA2 last January 8, and still got no idea if NVC received our case or not...waiting for case number so i could proceed to applying police certificates from countries where i used to work before...
