I didn't bother setting an appointment days before the actual date because I was confident that I could just walk in anytime and fall in line, but I was wrong. As I checked the NBI Website, I was greeted by this message.

| NO APPOINTMENT NO ENTRY POLICY |
Below are some simple steps I have done online.
REGISTRATION: You need to register if you don't have an account yet.
After registering, you can now SET AN APPOINTMENT.
PURPOSE and PURPOSE Detail
 |
By the time I checked the date, I was too late. I wanted to process my application at the satellite office in Robinsons Galleria as I've known that the processing is faster there. However, there were no more available slots for my desired date, 27th of January.
 |
| 😢😥😢 |
I checked the list of other satellite offices and found Robinsons Cainta still had slots so I set an appointment right away.
 |
| Just click AM/PM buttons. I chose PM. |
CHOOSE PAYMENT OPTION
 |
| After choosing satellite office, purpose and purpose detail, it's time for you to choose payment option. I chose Bayad Center. You may choose whichever option is convenient to you. |
REFERENCE NUMBER
 |
| Kopyahin ang Reference Number. If nabayaran mo na, the status would automatically change from Pending to PAID. |
The next day, I paid for the said amount and headed to Cainta right away. I was not expecting to find a lot of applicants kasi I thought people would rather go to Rob Galleria because it's faster there. But lo! Pagdating ko, sobrang haba na ng pila. Take note, the mall opens at 10:30 and I got there at 10:45, but I was given number 418!!! 😂😂😂
 |
NOTE: Pay the said amount first bago pumunta sa satellite office para pagdating doon ay kukuha ka na lang ng number for picture-taking.
|
Again, I was confident that online applicants would be entertained first, but one of the personnel said that we were all online applicants! Hahaha! Ang last number is around 700! Sa sobrang dami ng taong kumuha ng araw na iyon, half past 3 na pero ang layo ko pa rin. I'm not exaggerating. Konti lang ang mga personnel na naroon kaya mas maigi kung sa Rob Galleria or sa main office na lang talaga kumuha para mas mabilis.
PICTURE-TAKING and FINGERPRINTING
Finally it was my turn and I tried hard to contain my excitement. I was anxious to be done with it and go home. Unfortunately, I was one of those unlucky applicants who got a HIT status. How come? I always thought that my name's unique. Charot! But really, I didn't have that status the first time I applied for a clearance back in 2009. I was so frustrated I wanted to cry. Biruin ba namang pumila ako ng pagkatagal-tagal mula 10:45 hanggang 3:48 ng hapon tapos hindi ko rin lang pala makukuha sa araw na iyon ang clearance? 😢😢😢 Haaaay...
Weeks before, C advised me to go to the main office in Manila instead para in case na magka-HIT man ako, autmatic na ang verification, but I didn't listen. I should have. Lesson learned, makinig sa nakatatanda! 😂😂 Kung wala kang ibang lakad, I suggest na pumunta nalang sa main office kung feeling mo may HIT ka. 😂😂😂
RELEASING of Clearance
I waited for two weeks and the most awaited day finally came. This time I didn't have to fall in line.

| I finally got it! 😂😂😂 |
