Hello guys
New to the forum. May tanong lang po sana if someone can help me.
I am sponsoring my husband. He was a seaman and has now put in his resignation from the cruise line that he was working for while we are in the process of his papers.
Last contract nya he was in the cruise ship for 9 months. His port was Miami FL.
Does anyone here know how he can obtain police clearance from the US? I didn't include this in the package when I sent our papers in but reading the forum it seems like they will be asking for this police clearance so I wanted to be proactive and for him to obtain this now that way he has it with him when they do request because I am sure it will take some time to obtain the clearance.
Kung pwede makahingi ng help if anyone has an idea on how to do this please.
Maybe I will be lucky na may sponsor dito na seaman din ang applicant nila. Please help.
Thank you po.

How to obtain a police certificate - United States
Do I need to provide a police certificate when applying for permanent residence?
Yes, Applicants should provide a Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) certificate with fingerprints. State certificates may also be requested. The Visa Office will advise you if state certificates are required in your case.
How and where do I obtain one?
You should:
get a cover letter and fingerprint card from the FBI. You can download these from the FBI website or write to the address below and have them mailed to you.
have fingerprints taken. You can have this done by:
a local police department or
a private fingerprinting business.
(When you have your fingerprints taken, you will need photo identification.)
include a Certified cheque or money order for the fees, payable to the U.S. Treasury
mail the letter, fingerprints and fee payment to:

Processing times are normally between 16 and 18 weeks. The FBI will send you a letter with the results of their record check. That letter will be your police certificate. You should send the letter and any attached documents to the Citizenship and Immigration Canada office processing your file. All police certificates must be originals. Photocopies will not be accepted by our office.
