    Thanks metaform, great stuff. Yep, that's Police Clearance Cert. Have you checked their online application? http://www.dubaipolice.gov.ae/dp/jsps/content/flat-content.do?contentCode=71578
    Also, do you think, DIAC would require us to get NBI clearance? Eto yung medyo matagal in case, sana hindi na tayo require...

    Ang makakasagot lang ng regarding sa NBI clearance ay yung mga Pinoy expats din na na-grant na ng Oz visa.

    In case, magpapakuha na lang ako ng clearance sa relatives ko sa Pinas. Mas mura pa rin kaysa sa Consulate natin dito.

    hi @Metaform, just had my CO last week. I'm on the process of completing my PCCs. I am required to submit to them PCC from Dubai Headquarters and NBI from Philippines. Masyadong inconvenient kung dito ka kukuha ng NBI which I am doing now kasi masyadong mahal, it cost me AED 210. First, you need to get the form from Philippine Consulate in Al Qusais, then punta ka ng Dubai Police Headquarters for finger printing na may bayad na AED 110 and then balikan mo the next day yung form mo tapos ibalik mo sa Philippine Consulate for processing na, another payment of AED 100. daming bayarin! :(

    Thanks for sharing this very helpful information. Congrats, you're just too close to finish line :) May God bless you always! Just to clarify, how long po kaya ang processing for both? I'm thinking po kasi to apply the soonest. As for NBI clearance, why do you need to go at Dubai Police HQ?

    @chiffonscarf Yung PCC from Dubai Police takes a week. Nagpunta kami dun ng Wednesday then pinabalik kami ng Tuesday for the release na. About NBI, pinapunta kami sa Dubai Police Headquarters for finger printing tapos pinabalik the next day para kunin yung same form na tinatakan lang ng seal ng Dubai Police then ifoforward mo ulit sa Consulate natin for processing. Yung release from Consulate usually takes 3 working days daw pero sa amin kasi medyo delayed dahil inabutan ng mga holidays so sa Tuesday ko palang makukuha nyan. Will let you know guys kung ano ang next na gagawin after. :)

    goodluck to all and happy easter!!

    @OZdreamer hi, sa Falcon City kami nakatira pero dito sa Deira ang work ko. Thanks sa mga links, will tell hubby to check them out tonight. Sobrang push ko nga siya mag-review kasi we can't afford any repeats now, lalo na habol natin ang July 2012

    Nakakuha na pala ako ng form from consulate for the NBI clearance, kahit di pa kami submit sa DIAC, tanong ko pala- primary applicant lang ba may kelangan nun or pati spouse?

    @baronann, good to have you in the forum. With regards sa question mo, yan din ang iniisip ko the other day when we went to the Embassy, we do not want to re-do the application..babalik ako sa Embassy sa Sunday to get yung notarized form ko ng NBI cleaRANCE. In the link below, it defines that 'You and any secondary applicants must be of 'good character'. That only means na dapat meron din silang NBI at PCC.

    @baronann, tama si @chiffonscarf, both the principal and the secondary applicant should submit their PCCs.

    @chiffonscarf, sa London Clinic sa Jumeirah road kami nagpamedical. Kakainis nga kasi 2 Saturdays ago pa kami nagpamedical til now di pa uploaded lahat. Kesyo daw may problema sa system tapos yung Xray ko di pa daw napafinalize nung RadTech nila kaya di pa rin uploaded. Haayy...

    About my NBI clearance, pinadala ko palang sa Pinas yung notarized ng Consulate natin dito and inshallah matanggap na nung relative namin tomorrow or sa Wednesday para matapos na processing dahil 10 days nalang ang natitira sa given period sa amin to complete lahat. :(

    I took my IELTS pala sa University of Wollongong (UOWD) and maganda naman ang facilities nila duon. goodluck sa atin! :)

    @OZdreamer Salamat, yeah, nakita ko na London Clinic along JBR. AED 1800/applicant if am not mistaken..tama ba ako?hehe.Inuuna na namin ang NBI clearance kasi medyo matagal ata ito, sabi nila it'll take 2-3 months? Not sure though kasi sabi mo you only have 10 days remaining to provide your NBI clearance. Punta kami mamaya at bukas sa Phil Embassy to pick up my NBI clearance-notarized at mag-enquire ako regarding Declaration of Financial Capacity - Notarized..Would you know if they could notarize this declaration without attachments muna? Taas ng IELTS score mo! Congrats and wish you goodluck also.
