Has anyone heard of/ used this service: http://www.visainchina.com/nocriminal.htm ? I researched it on various expat in China sites and it seems to have a good rep, if quite expensive. If I end up using it, I'll post my results here for anyone who may need this info in the future.

Thanks dnoblett! She had a Z visa. I've read about the notarized letter/ passport visa, but when I researched it it said this option was only available in 'very few small cities' and not in other locations. This info came from the Canadian visa advice page, which is more informative than the US version. Here's a link if anyone would like to look themselves: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/security/police-cert/asia-pacific/china.asp I will investigate the lawyer, and thanks again!

Hi all, and thanks in advance for any help with this issue! It's a little different problem because neither I nor my fiancee are Chinese citizens, but we do have to deal with the Chinese gov't for part of our own fiancee visa process. My fiancee is British, and she spent about 18 months in China in two locations on the mainland, Guangdong and Suzhou. We've sent the I-129f in and been approved, so we're working on the documents that she'll need to bring to her interview in London when the time comes. According to the US website, she'll need police records from the UK, AND from any country she has resided in for more than 12 months, so, China. I can't find any reliable info on how to request these forms from China if you're not actually IN China at the present time. Most forums talk about going to local government agencies in person and applying. Obviously neither of us can do that at this time. Anyone have any helpful hints on what to do next? Thanks again!
