Urgent - help with police certificate!!!

[brynah 0]

Hi there

Unfortunately, I've been VERY lazy with getting Packet 3 put together, as my fiance is here with me (until next Feb, at least). We've already had our NOA2 expire and be extended once, which I don't want to happen again, so I'm trying to get Packet 3 together now.

I've just been looking over the requirements and trying to arrange my police certificate. How do I know if I need to get a fingerprints check? I've made an appointment for one, but it's not until 28 July (at earliest). This is BAD news! Can anyone help?!

Someone told me that if I committed a crime, I'd need the fingerprint check. but if I hadn't I just needed the certificate that says I have no record. but I'm from canada, don't know if that makes a difference.

Good luck!

Hi,

I wrote to the US Embassy and asked if I needed the fingerprint check or name check and they told me to get the required fingerprint check if it is available. I am not an Australian but I lived in Australia for a few years. Since I am not residing there now, I went to the police headquarters here in my country to get my fingerprints taken and sent off the application to AFP in Canberra along with a cheque of AUD 93 something and my passport copy and another ID. I received my certificate in 4 weeks. That was in March.

As for your case, is there any where else you could get your fingerprints taken, perhaps at the local police station, and then send off the application to AFP?

Good luck.

Cheers
