Hi, I was hoping someone out there had some advice.

I'm Australian but currently live in Canada, I'm move back home at the end of the month and was hoping to get the police record thing before I leave (not sure what it is, haven't started the process yet). So I went to the police station today and applied for a back ground check, but they didn't finger print me, so I went to the place that does that, the RCMP, he suggested I find out how current it needs to be as he said most want it to be done 6 months before. It will take 4 months to process if I'm back in Australia.

Does anyone know how current the Consulate in Australia need it be?

Thanks S

Usually in general you want the police check done as close as you can to the interview, they are valid for only 1 year and the newer it is the better it seems.

Your I-129f was approved in 5 days from your NOA1 date.

Your interview took 67 days from your I-129F NOA1 date.

AOS was approved in 2 months and 8 days without interview.

ROC was approved in 3 months and 2 days without interview.

Thanks for the fast rely, no point going back today for the finger printing, the link you sent me said 6 months, so I guess I'll apply from Australia.

Thanks for your help, I really appreciate it, thanks. S

So you want your Canadian police certificate, right? not your Australian one?

Are you sure you need to do with fingerprints?

I'm asking because I know I need fingerprints for my Aussie police certificate, but I dont think I need them for my Canadian one. I believe it's only a namecheck.

Not sure I'm any help... :unsure:

Yeah It's for my Canadian one, I applied for my namecheck today in Toronto but I'm not sure if that's enough, I know I need fingerprints for Australia. I think I will apply for the fingerprint from Canada when I return to Australia, we haven't started the process yet and the guy at the office said he didn't think I needed the print, but if I did recommended I wait til it's closer. Do you know where I could find out if I need a fingerprint from Canada?

Ive checked again this page:

http://travel.state.gov/visa/frvi/reciproc...ocity_3531.html

Basically it says if you are physically present in Canada, you don't need the fingerprints. If you are in a different country you do. I'm not sure why. Maybe you could email the consulate in Oz and ask if a police cert acquired here will be valid without the fingerprint check?? sorry I cant be of any more help.

Inside Canada: Applicants who are physically present in Canada should contact their local police service or Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) office regarding criminal record check procedures. Applicants may obtain a certificate of no conviction issued by any Canadian police service so long as it notes that Canadian Police Information Centre (CPIC) or the national criminal records repository was searched using the applicant’s name and date of birth. Applicants should ensure that the search includes all names that they have previously used, including maiden names, prior married names, or names used before Canadian naturalization. (Note: Because records checks based on name and date of birth only are sometimes less thorough than those based on fingerprints, U.S. diplomatic offices reserve the right to request that certain applicants obtain fingerprint-based searches from the RCMP.)

Outside Canada: Applicants who are not physically present in Canada must obtain a Certified Criminal Record Check by sending a duplicate set of fingerprints (taken by a local police force) to the RCMP. Fingerprint submissions must include the following:
