One problem here is that if anyone sees a business that's doing any good all the sudden within a 6 months still be 4 others to try doing the same thing and then they'll be 4 people competing for the same business. I'm in a small town in the province and we have four or five bakeries here it's ridiculous and two of them are the same chain so you buy a franchise and they put a competitor two blocks away!

I had 2 jaywalking tickets in L.A. 40 years ago. Am I ok? Actually I almost went to jail for one of them. It was a long block in Encino and I had a heavy sample bag so I hurried across the street and got almost to the other side of the street and seen the police car parked down the street. I glanced and seen the cop opening his door. I hurried into the building and was going to take the elevator but I decided to wait. Sure enough the cops came into the lobby a few seconds later. The one cop said you were lucky you stopped or you would be spending the night in jail. It was a $10 ticket.

If the documents are from the US, no. Only the secretary of the state the documents are from (say a local court filing) can authenticate the notary who notarized the documents. No one in Manilla can authenticate the notary from the states. Its just not set up that way to be done. If its a federal document from the US, maybe, but most birth certificates, divorce judgements etc are from the states not the federal government.

@@JenGioPhilippineJourney Actually the seal of authentication could be a notary seal. The DD214 might need to be notarized somehow and the apostille certificate is to verify the validity of the notary.

Rather flippant humor about police reports messing up SRRV. Very funny hahahaha. Actually, a speeding ticket 15 miles over the limit is considered a felony in some states so, will the clerk at BI approving think she is empowered enough to overlook a felony conviction, even for speeding? You make fun of people worrying about speeding tickets, but your experience base is not large enough for you to realize that even speeding will at least delay your application if it is a felony, even if the report states a misdemeanor pled down from a felony. And maybe you are right if you say BI will eventually rule in his favor but after how many months appealing and waiting for their decision?

By the way, you say that srrv requires an interpol police clearance; i never heard of THAT before so I looked it up and found that this is highly irregular. No such thing! SORRY. Interpol Clearance TABLE OF CONTENTS The term ‘INTERPOL Clearance‘ is frequently used but misleading. INTERPOL, the International Criminal Police Organization, aids police cooperation among its 194 member countries but does not provide a service named ‘INTERPOL Clearance.’ This clarification is vital for accurately understanding INTERPOL-related matters. Central to this misunderstanding is the concept of INTERPOL’s Red Notices. A Red Notice is a request to locate and provisionally arrest an individual pending extradition, surrender, or similar legal action. It’s based on a valid national arrest warrant and is issued at the request of a member country. While widely recognized, it’s crucial to note that a Red Notice is not an international arrest warrant, and INTERPOL itself does not have the authority to compel any member country to arrest the individual who is the subject of a Red Notice. Interpol clearance is a process by which Interpol notifies its member countries that an individual is wanted for extradition. The Interpol Red Notice is the basis for Interpol clearance. It contains information about the crimes an individual is accused of, as well as his or her last known whereabouts. Interpol member countries are required to extradite individuals who are subject to Interpol Red Notices. In order to get Interpol clearance, an individual must first be placed on an Interpol Red Notice. This can be done by Interpol itself, or by a member country that has issued an extradition request, but it’s vital to consult with extradition lawyers about how can you avoid extradition. Once an individual is placed on an Interpol Red Notice, he or she will be subject to Interpol clearance. How to Get an Interpol Background Check Obtaining an INTERPOL background check is not as straightforward as one might think. In fact, INTERPOL, as an international organization, does not generally provide individual criminal record checks or ‘background checks’ directly to individuals. The main reason behind this is the nature of INTERPOL’s operations and the structure of international law enforcement cooperation. INTERPOL’s primary role is to assist national law enforcement agencies by providing a platform for them to share and access data on crimes and criminals. If you need a background check for employment or visa purposes, it’s usually done by local or national law enforcement agencies, not directly by INTERPOL. These authorities can access INTERPOL’s databases for their investigations and include findings in their reports. The process for these checks varies by country. Individuals generally cannot request an INTERPOL background check directly due to several reasons. First, INTERPOL primarily supports member countries’ law enforcement agencies, not individuals. Second, data privacy laws limit access to such information. Finally, while INTERPOL has databases on criminal activities, these are provided by and shared with member countries’ law enforcement and are subject to restrictions. Therefore, private individuals typically cannot access this
