yes you can attach CEMI, for functional english of dependents. Also once you lodge the 887 application there are other proof that you can support the claim of functional English. There is local work experience, i attached cemi+degree certificate+employment proof for local work experience.

Salamat @batman sa advise.. Isasama ko din ung transcript ko saka degree certificate as proof Meron pa sana ako question.. Sa visa 489 namin, di ko nainclude yung middle name namin sa application.. Magkakaproblem kaya kami if sa PR application ay isali ko na ang Middle name namin as given name? Salamat ulit sa sasagot..

Naisip ko din talaga isama para pare parehas na ung names namin sa mga records dito at sa passport.. Nagworry lang ako baka magkaproblem pag makita ng officer na iba ung name namin sa 489 at sa 887 application..

Pwede ba malaman kung papano nyo nipresent yung Middle Name nyo sa application form? Sa given names section, kasunod ng first name nyo is ung middle name nyo na? or sa next line nyo itinype? Yung given name ko kasi ay dalawa, so after ng second given name ko, is ung middle name na? wala nang comma?
Example:
Last Name:
Given Names: ?
Salamat sa sasagot!

Meron na bang nakasubok magrenew ng NBI clearance through the NBI website, tapos pinadeliver sa local address yung document?
Nag-apply kasi ako nung February and nabayaran ko rin through online banking on the same day. Kaso hanggang ngayon wala pa rin yung NBI clearance and wala rin yung transaction dun sa History log sa NBI account ko. Nagttry ako mag-inquire sa Contact Us page nila kaso laging error.
Matagal lang ba talaga pag online renewal?

Inapplayan ko yung Mother ko last Dec 2020 ng NBI renewal, never bumalik samin yung result lol. Ilang beses namin sinubukan tawagan yung contact number na nakalagay dito sa PDF form
https://dms.philembassy.org.au/index.php/website/download-forms/other-consular-services/259-applying-for-nbi-clearance/file
Never may sumagot, ginawa namin kumontak kami ng kamaganak sa pilipinas para pumunta sa NBI main building para mag follow up, ayun dun lang na process. Kinuha na lang ng kamaganak namin at siya ang nag mail papunta dito sa AU. Last march lang namin nakuha yung result.

@GlennM Sayang pala yung bayad. Buti na lang nakwento mo yan. Ganun na lang din gagawin ko. Umiiwas kasi sana ako na may pupunta sa NBI sa Taft dahil sa covid. Kaso mukhang no other way pala.

Hassle ang pagkuha ng NBI clearance. Nun kami, nagpaschedule kami at nagbayad online then pick up ng kamaganak sa main branch. Pagpunta dun ng kamaganak namin naissuehan kami ng clearance pero walang thumbprint at iba ang nbi clearance number kesa dun sa nauna naming nakuha back in 2018. Kaya daw iba ung number kasi nagbayad kami online. Nakakaloka yung system nila pero para mabilis nalang nagpasched nalang ulit ung kamaganak namin ng bagong appointment at dun na nya binayaran sa main office yung processing fee. Kawawa ung kamaganak namin kasi nakisuyo nalang kami nagpabalik balik pa sya. Nagtry din muna kami kontakin sila sa phone at email bago pasched pero wala naman sumasagot. Mahirap na ang process nagaalala pa tayo na maexpose yung pinapakisuyuan natin sa maraming tao ngaun pandemic.

@littlemsnanay Hassle and delikado nga kung babalik-balik pa pala yung pupunta sa NBI. Sinubukan ko rin magfollow-up via e-mail kaso nagbbounce yung e-mail kasi puno na raw mailbox ng taga-NBI.

Hello @maguero
Nagtrytry din akong kumuha ng nbi clearance ng wlang pinapapapunta sa nbi. Delikado kasi sa covid, so far ang gnwa ko nagpafingerprint ako etc and followed un sinbe ng consul. nga pla adelaide ako tapos two weeks ako pinadala ko un papers ko through DHL. Last Monday nacheck ko un tracking nakarating na un papers then wla akong nakuhang balita so i called them up. May nagavail ako nun $5/300 mins sa optus good for 28 days na. nakatawag naman ako dun sa landline ni ms. sandra tapos sabe nya sakin next week daw baka maprocess un nbi ko tapos pwede daw softcopy isend sa akin. pero tyagaan lang magcontact sa numbers ng nbi mga 30 mins ata dun ako nakaconnect laging busy eh. un payment humingi sya ng ph contact number na pwede nila macontact about sa payment.
Naglodge akong 887 nun middle of April. itong nbi clearance lang last doc na kailangan kong upload.

@goodminton Thanks for sharing. Kakapadala ko palang ng application via DHL kanina. Nabanggit ba ni Sandra kung paano yung payment? Sinunod ko yung sinabi ni consul na mag-enclose ng letter na nakalist yung contact details ko dito and contact details ng relative sa Manila. Iniisip ko kasi kung pwedeng bayaran via online banking, yun na lang gagawin ko.

sorry late reply. Yun payment magtext sila dun sa contact details ng relatives mo ng referral number para mabayaran thru 711 or gcash. Tricky lang kasi like un akin nagtext si nbi 7pm na tapos 12 hrs validity so nagmadali magbayad para pasok sa validity. 170 pesos yun bayad. pagkabayad allow 3-5 days tapos tawag ka ulit. Yun akin naemail namn nila kaya naupdate ko na un 887 ko pero ipush tlga nila pakuha sayo yun hard copy. Ang pinapagawa na lang sakin pwede daw un JRS. Hindi ko pa nagawa un sa JRS pero basically bili ka ng prepaid na JRS pouch tapos ilagay nila dun yun hard copy tapos papadala na sa relatives mo. Feedback ako ulit pagnagawa ko na un JRS

Thanks sa update @goodminton Nagfollow-up na rin ako kasi 3 weeks na since nadeliver yung application pero wala pa rin tawag or SMS with the payment details. Mabuti na lang nakakasend sila ng NBI clearance via e-mail so di na kailangan antayin ang hard copy. Good luck sa atin.

Hi everyone! I just recently applied for our 887 visa and I just want to share how I obtain my NBI and my husband's.
If meron po kayong NBI dated on or after year 2014, pwede po renewal via online. You can register offshore but you need a representative na nasa Pilipinas (anywhere po in the Philippines) to mail the required documents.
Below po yung instructions na binigay nila Ma'am Sandra..
**_NBI clearance application for applicants abroad (RENEWAL)
Requirements:
Please print NBI clearance and passport in short size bond paper and photo in photo paper (actual size po ng photo dapat e print ng rep niyo).
**1. Fill out online as NEW at clearance.nbi.gov.ph and get the reference number. Please use applicant's address abroad. Seven eleven, bayad center and true money are preferred payment centers. **
(Ako po yung nag register (separate account) for myself and my husband.)
2. Pay clearance fee using the reference number.
(Marami pong options to pay buy since I still have bank access sa banko ko sa Pinas, I was able to pay it myself kahit andito ako sa Australia).
**
3. Send via JRS or EMS( Express Mail Service- post office) the following:**
(Dito na po yung role nung representative niyo sa Pinas. If they are able to mail it straight away, mas mabilis po ma process nila Ma'am Sandra)
SANDRA P. SOBIDA
MAILED CLEARANCE SECTION- ICTD
NATIONAL BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION
TAFT AVENUE MANILA
Follow up of clearance application will only be monday to friday 8am- 5pm.
(I rang Ma'am Sandra 3 days after I knew the documents were delivered to give them time to process. Best to ring her after 5pm kasi super busy nila. Ma'am Sandra is really helpful po. You just need to be patient and understand na madami silang pinoprocess)
Contact numbers :
09267152001
09983688668
09156893113 (ito po yung number na tinawagan ko na nakausap ko si Ma'am Sandra)

Hello po! May tanong lang din po ako regarding proof of english. Mag apply po ako ng 887 this November. Ask ko lang po kung kelangan pa po ba ng valid english test? Last taken April 2017 - nagamit ko sya sa pag-lodge ng 489. Or kelangan po ng bagong english test for 887? Thanks po.
