PCC from another country

[AutisticManChild]

So this is getting really frustrating. If anyone has any experience with this, please let us know. Petitioned for immigrant visa for an immediate relative. Everything is fine until we are uploading documents. This relative lived in the middle east for extended periods of time couple of decades ago for work. When we uploaded all applications and stuff, one of the civil documents being requested now is PCC for that country. We have been reaching out friends and family over last month but have not had any luck securing PCC. At this point, we are beyond annoyed that this one thing is holding everything up. Is there a way we can change our application so that NVC does not ask for PCC from another country? Or anyone has any idea how to go about securing this PCC? Really appreciate any help. Thank you!

If green card applicants are required to submit a police certificate from foreign countries or regions, they can check the U.S. Department of State’s website to see if one or more of these countries or regions has a Reciprocity Page.

Once the green card applicant finds that country or region’s reciprocity page, they just need to click on the tabs to see which civil documents can be requested from that country. The website will state the issuing authority for police clearance certificates in that particular nation or region.


Note : Several of the middle eastern countries will only entertain police clearance requests for citizens/non-citizens living in that country when the request is made.

Thank You ! Really appreciate your response ! I checked in the Reciprocity page regarding Italy. I am not sure they mention it clearly as they do for UAE countries. Do you have any info on that for Italy?

Hey, this might be late for you. However, there are two ways to handle this.

I reached out to NVC with this issue. I wrote to them and they responded after couple of months that if you cannot provide a required document, please submit a document explaining why in detail.

However, I was able to get it eventually. I had to pay someone to get this done. It cost a bit of money and took about two months. Honestly, if I had to re-do, I would just submit a document explaining in detail why you are not able to obtain this.
