Police Certificate

[Markscuba1]

Hi all,

 

I have enjoyed reading all of the useful information and this sight has helped me out very much so far in the visa process journey.

 

I finally have encountered a problem that I hope someone can give me some recommendations on.

 

Sansan, my fiancee finally received her P-3 packet. We are very excited, we feel we are getting close. Unfortunately she also lived in Singapore for one year. So we filed out all the paperwork for the Singapore police certificate and had her friend deliver to the Singapore authority.

 

The response that her friend is getting from the Singapore authority is that we need to have a letter from the U.S. consulate with Sansan¡¯s name on it and the paper should be on the consulate letterhead. They won't take the letter that was sent in the P-3 paperwork.

 

Our attorney has emailed the consulate and is trying to contact the authorities in Singapore. I however don't think he is going to have much luck. From what I am hearing I finally think there is a government out there with more red tape than ours.

 

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

My information is rather old and my memory could be a little foggy on it but my wife lived in Singapore for two years from 1996 until 1998 before I met her and when we filed for her CR1 visa in 1999 we had to get the police certificate from the police in Singapore. My wife sent the P3 form to a friend of hers in Singapore and she took it down to the police authority and didn't have any trouble with it. It did however take a full 6 weeks before we received it back all filled out properly. Since this was 10 years ago though, the rules or procedures may have changed during that time.
