Hello, I am organising for my parents to come and visit me in the US. The only problem is my dad is ineligible for the visa waiver due to a crime commited 26 years ago in Western AUstralia. Does anyone have any idea about obtaining police/court records to give details of this crime?? It is so old it wont even turn up on the fingerprint check. Unfortunately, he also cannot remember the exact year the crime even occurred. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

2001: Met at an OZ university. He was an exchange student. Had a brief but memorable relationship.

Dec 2001: he returned to the US but we stayed in touch and said we would always remain friends.

Jan 2004: He came to visit me in Melbourne. relationship instantly ignited. it was very evident we were kidding ourselves if we thought we could part again.

Feb 2004: He proposed whilst we were vacationing in QLD

Feb 2004: He returned to US. We decided we would apply for a visa for him to come to OZ.

June: 2004. Went to states to visit

Aug 2004: his oz visa approved.

Sept 2004: reunited

April 2005: married

May 2005: applied for DCF so he can go to states to do PHD

June 20 2005: received interview date

July 18 2005: attended interview in sydney

July 21 2005: received visa in mail

Contact the court house in the town/city in which the crime took place i.e the court in which the crime was heard should have a record in archives.

Oh, he then needs to complete a one page sheet (which can be faxed) stating approximately when the crime took place, what the charges were and consequences. They also want to know why you wish to obtain the documents. Very simple form. Hope that helps.

Hi There!

Every state in Australia has its own Crimminal Court Office. If its in NSW its the Parramatta court house. You can go in ( after going through security ) and ask the register/clerk there to search his file. Most old cases dating 20yrs back now would be dusted away in a file. Otherwise your best option is to call the AFP ( Australian Federal Police ). In order to get fingerprints etc any police station has to get authorisation from the person and then they will request a file from the AFP. Same applies for if anyone is applying for a visa clearance. Also FYI if you get incontact with your local member o parliament for a character reference that would help alot.

GoodLuck!

The naure of the crime is important.

Some are not waiverable.

Some do not need a waiver.

I am sure many people with convictions just travel anyway on the VWP, but that can come back to bite you.

“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.”
