The certificates purport to reflect all criminal convictions during residence in China. Police records are generally not available for the period prior to 1949. Certificates are available for those in the J-1, Z, and X categories. The GOC does not issue police records for temporary residents of China in L or F visa categories.

I would be asking the chinese consulate or embassy about how to obtain this record.

Hey, I think I provided an answer like this before. http://www.visajourn...h...t&p=1671167

I did a lot af thing already. so i don't need to worry and i don't need to do anything? i read that reciprocity site in US embassy Manila but i still want to make sure about it
Thanks for you help. So what the China consulate says about it. You said you will call them. Thanks and i really appreciate your help and concern.

US Embassy and Consulate DiscussionObtaining Chinese Police Record...
Hi Adam and Arlyn,

Thanks for the useful information in regards to obtaining police record from China. My name is Clement Yang. I am Jackie's fiancee in the US. I took your advice and try to contact the US citizen service in Beijing. I contacted them on March 9, 2008. After waiting a week, I received no reply from them. Yesterday, I send in a second request. Being we need this information soon, I emailed every US consult personnel in Guangzhou. 7 in all including the Consult General. In desperation, I even called and spoke to the Public affair chief. It was very differcult getting someone to talk to me as I was unable to escape the automated phone system and the Chinese staff was very uncooperative. I finally spoke to a Ms. Zotter in GZ. She inform me that she could not help me but refer me to a Ms. Gelner. I email her also. The long and short of the story is everyone told me to fill out this form that is only meant for K-1 Visa question for marrying someone in China which is not what I am doing. I filled out the form anyway using a non existing case number. I am still not able to get anyone to respond to me with a letter to help our situation. If you would be kind enough, could you give me the email address of the Chief Immigration Officer so that I can email him or her for assistance? Thank you in advance. I am glad to see you two so happy. We hope to be in the same situation soon. Thanks. Clement

Im in the same situation as you.We end up in a roadblock trying to get this Chinese police clearance certificate requested by the Canadian embassy in Manila.My wife taught as an ESL teacher in Jilin City in Northern China for 6 months and she found out that she only have a L and not working visa . Her recruiter withheld her passport as a ransome and once she got a hand on her passport I flew to China and took her away and sent her back to the Philippines.She was one of the victim of illegal recruiting of teachers in the Philippines.I did the same thing what you did contacted the Chinese embassy which is pretty useless and the Canadian embassy advice us to contact any of her friends to do it on her behalf and lucky enough we track down one of her co teacher to do the job.Well ,we thought we solve the problem.We send her all the documents of my wife to her to present it to the Police Station and Notary public office.My wife co teacher has to bring a translator because nobody speaks english in these offices.Yes its the same answer they dont give police certificate clearance to L and F visa and wont even make a written statement or explanation at least I can show it to the visa officer in the Canadian embassy.It is really frustrating.As for now my wife application is still pending for almost 10 months now because of this request.Were still trying to figure out how to pass this stage.Let me know how's your wife application is doing and I will let you know if some information comes up.
Good luck



I have the solution to this problem now.

I will paste the details I posted somewhere else.

"For future reference, I know exactly how to handle this situation now.

Anyone who runs into this hurdle in any country should be able to follow this same procedure.

I contacted by email the US Department of State located in China, explaining the exact details of the situation--including where she worked and the dates she did, etc.

They responded the same day with the private email address of the American Citizen Services of China, and when I gave them the same email I sent before, they responded immediately with the answer, in writing, in the email, from the U.S. Consulate in China by a Chief Immigration Officer.

It stated specifically that what was written on the reciprocity table on the U.S. department of state's website was still accurate and verified with local authorities.

Next step is to send an email the US Consulate of Manila and explain what steps you've taken so far and ask them what further action they'd have you to take--this shows you're making an effort on your end.

They will send a letter to your fiancee with her Packet 4 that states exactly what to do next.

They will inform her to get a copy of the letter you received from the Chief Immigration Officer, and take it to that country's Embassy in the Philippines, then get it verified, authenticated and notarized by that embassy's official, and then make a copy of the reciprocity table portion dealing with the issue also, and bring that to the interview along with your other evidence.

So in the end, what you need is:

1) Authenticated, notarized and signed letter verifying the email the American Citizen Services Official sends you. The Embassy stated that this MUST be done by the Chinese Embassy of the Philippines by Mr. Wang. This will vary per country, obviously.
2) A copy of the reciprocity table website portion that states exactly what they verified with you in writing with the local police officials.
3) A verbal explanation to the Immigration Officer that interviews you that you made the attempt to obtain the Police Certificate, but the above evidence is all that was obtainable.

This officer should make a note on your form, and it should no longer be an issue.

In the end, the REASON certain Visa classes are not eligible for Police Records is because some Businesses do not handle Visa's correctly and do what's known as "same-day" stamping of the passport--even though the worker lives in the country far more than one day.

This is an attempt to save money on taxes and other fees, and to relieve them of liabilities they'd otherwise obtain if they were to correctly stamp the workers' passports. China is very notorious for this scandal.

As a result, they will not release Police Certificates for certain Multiple Business Visa classes or under certain timeframes depending on the country's inner ethic.

Hope this helps others that get caught in the rut we were in!"

PhilippinesHow will you know if you pass the Interview (k1)
I just want to know how will you know if you pass the interview or not? I had my interview this morning. They ask me to pay for Delbros for visa delivery.... The consular officer told me that there is no more problem with my papers and everything is ok, they just have to verify my documents. She also told me to wait for my name to be called and they will give instructions.


I pay my verification fee last April 14,2008 and Delbros told me that they just send it last monday May 12,2008 to NSO.

My questions are:

1. How long will it take for the NSO to send back to US Embassy the documents?
2. How will i know if my visa is APPROVED?
3. How long is the visa to be delivered? helpsmilie.gif


Thank you and i hope you can answer my questions. I really appreciate Your response.

At around 6:30am we were inside the US embassy, wait for our time to get in line and get the assign number. After having the number we wait for our names to be called for the finger scanner. I was called at the pre-screener window at around 9:40am and interview with the consul at 10:30am. The interview with the consul went smooth. The lady consul was so nice to me and she smiled when she cannot pronounce the last name of my fiance. The interview lasted only for about 7 minutes. She said i can wait outside for my papers to be called for the visa delivery.

We were out at around 11:30am, and the four of us went to lunch together with Maria Nina mother and baby, Gie, Ana, me and my aunt Lalaine.

To all my fellow vjers, thank you so much for all your support and prayers. Also a special thanks to dbears.

Congratulation to you. I just want to know how will you know if your APPROVEd? I has my interview this morning, and the consular officer told me that they will just verify my documents and i everything seems to be ok. she also told me to wait for name to be called and they will give me instruction. Tha guy on window 37 ask me if i pay for my Docs. Verification i said i already pay it last April 14,2008 and Delbros told me that they just send it last monday May 12, 2008.... I'm worried if i passed or not. Then he also give me pink slip and ask to pay for the Visa delivery... But according to other people even though you pay, it doesn't mean you are Approved.... Just a little bit confused.

Thanks
Jackie

it has been 3 weeks and 2 days since my interview and it has been 3 weeks and 3 days since i paid for that annoying document verification. my visa is nowhere in sight. crying.gif crying.gif crying.gif
i called up the infamous ms. grace and informed me that they have already got the result from nso. she advised me to call them back again next week and not to make any travel arrangements yet.
the waiting is far from over.




Hello,
I just want to know what is the number to call for the result from NSO.??? Pay my document Verification APril 14,2008 and the Delbros send it MAY 12,2008. I already finished my interview May14,2008 (yesterday).....

So funny, i call NSO, Richard DOCS. Verification incharge and ask him if they received it already and he say yes, Then he hung up on me while i'm still asking for information... really rude. The people working in Government are really rude... I really hate dealing with Philippine gov.....

I just share what i experience

I'm now waiting for the docs. verification and get my visa really soon... hehehe Thanks to all VJ help me a lot, reading all the info....

PhilippinesHow will you know if you pass the Interview (k1)
I just want to know how will you know if you pass the interview or not? I had my interview this morning. They ask me to pay for Delbros for visa delivery.... The consular officer told me that there is no more problem with my papers and everything is ok, they just have to verify my documents. She also told me to wait for my name to be called and they will give instructions.


I pay my verification fee last April 14,2008 and Delbros told me that they just send it last monday May 12,2008 to NSO.

My questions are:

1. How long will it take for the NSO to send back to US Embassy the documents?
2. How will i know if my visa is APPROVED?
3. How long is the visa to be delivered? helpsmilie.gif


Thank you and i hope you can answer my questions. I really appreciate Your response.

I just want to know, If arrived in US with K1 visa and after getting married, what is next? Change of Status? How long will it take to get The permanent residency or Green card? And how about getting Citizenship? how long it takes? What is the different Between Green Card and citizenship?


I hope VJ members can help me understand this things...


After you are approved for Adjustment of Status, which you apply for after you are married, you'll get a 10 green card. You'll also need to get a social security number since it's required for tax filing purposes, to work and to get a driver's license. Two years and 9 months after you become a permanent resident, you can apply for citizenship.




WHY 10 GREEN CARD????

hi.

yup, ask your fiance to dial 00632 3012000, wait for the voice prompt, then press 7... then press 5184 or 5185... if he gets a busy tone, tell him to dial zero until grace or lorraine answers the phone.
