Australian police certficate - fingerprint

[PeterLe 0]

Hi all,

I used to be a post grad student at the UQ (Brisbanne city) in Queensland, exactly from early 2004 to end of 2005, and currently live in Saigon. Now i am applying for K1 visa, which obviously requires a police certificate from Australia with fingerprint. However, for us, international students, the AFP (Australian Federal Police)did not run a fingerprint check during our stay over there! The available police certificate they can issue is the Name check only certificate. And it doesnt meet requirements from US Embassy. Before, in Vietnam, the IOM (International Organisation of Migration) used to be the only authorised body to work on fingerprint check and then applicants could use the result to send to the AFP. But now they are not allowed anymore. I don't know where to go now. Anyone experienced the same or similar situation?

ANy advices from you all will be highly appreciated.

Thanks a lot.

The ladies are very nice. They should be able to tell you how they will accept the fingerprints and be able to forward you the application form. Best of luck ...
