Lorelle - where EXACTLY in FL are you going to be agian? i need to whip out the map!!!

Palm Bay for starters.

Good to hear all is going so well for you Karo

Matt.....congrats on the job....at least its keeping you out of mischief. Here's hoping the better suited job pays off for you.

Great to hear everyones plans are moving along nicely.

Question.......

I got my police certificate today and I have a concern. On filling out the form I included all my previous married names and my maiden name yet the certificate has only came back with my now married name listed. As I listed all my names and had fingerprints done they would presumably have done that inclusively of all my prior names as well as my present. Is it a problem that only my current name is listed on the certificate? How the hell is the embassy to know that I had check done with them using all names or is the fact it was fingerprints as well mean that all is ok?

Yeah I had made motel plans with his daughter but I don't think thats a goer now, just have to see. No I probably won't let him pick the dress cause it supposed to be bad luck isn't it? I do really like his taste in things though and it's nice to know he cares. Oh and Kath the cannal boat wedding sounds like such a lovely idea.

Karo if I wasn't so happy for you two, I'd be so jealous. Yes the pining for waking up together and all that domestic stuff is so difficult and something we all can relate too well.

Lorelle, if ya don't get an answer on the police certificate I can get Andrew to answer it for you tomorrow morning. He is a member but just never posts on here. He used to do these certificates as part of his job when he was a cop.

Take care all,

Stella.

hi Lorelle

on my police certificate from vic..it states

this is to certify at the date of issue there are no disclosable court outcomes recorded against the name of:

kathryn j and kathryn b born on .....

both names which i gave on the form were on my police check mate

so i would ring the police department and ask them about it.. you are right if you have put all your names on the application forms to the embassey how do they know they didnt check for all those names...

what date are you looking at leaving oz mate...

take care

kath

hi stella

Lorelle,

Yeah ditto what Kath said. I just got off Yahoo with Andrew. He says it depends who does it but he would have expected to see all your names there if that is what you gave information for. Yeah ring them and check he reckons. Like Kath said too about the names being on the visa forms.

Not too well this morning myself so hope you sort it out quick,

Stella.

[aussiewench 9]

Sorry you're not feeling well Stella

Thanks for the responses. I decided to send an email to the consulate to get there take on it as I got a couple of differing opinions in another thread.......here is the reply

They sometimes do list all names you were known by, however, if your police check was done on the basis of a fingerprint check, it should suffice. If there are any questions about it, the consular officer will advise you so on the day of interview.

Thank you.

Sincerely,

Visa Assistant

Immigrant Visa Unit

U.S. Consulate General

Sydney, Australia

I also called the fingerprint section of the police that does the certificates and was told that they only put the one name

I guess I am just going with the certificate I have and hope to gawd its ok lol I also have the receipt for the fingerprints so hopefully that helps if needed.

Kath,

Im looking at flying out about a week after my interview. I should have everything tied up by then.

Take care and thanks again.

Lorelle

Feeling much better now, thanks. Yeah Andrew reckons they used to use all the previous names but I guess it's different where you are to where he was. He did say some just did it the way you said yours was. Take a hard copy of that email from the consulate too. I'm sure it will be OK.

Ooohh getting excited for you Lorelle.

Kath I'm afraid our wedding is going to be a very home made affair with not too many guests. Baked beans on the menu wouldn't surprise me either. I am supposed to be making him a shirt for the day but still have not bought the fabric. No one from my side coming (I made a joke about 'rent-a-crowd' for me but he thought I was serious. I really only have a couple of living relatives I'm close too and none of my friends could make it; both Andrews parents have passed on, so that leaves a couple of his friends, brother and family and Andrews kids. I'm sure I will be happier than ever anyhow even on our non existant budget. Love your invite thingy Kath. Very romantic.

Stella.

LORELLE

I have just checked on my police certificate i got in September last year and it only has my old married name on it and my birth date I had no problems with it when i had my interview in December.

I do remember there being problems with how they are worded and i think from memory it has to state something aboutu fingerprints

this is exactly what mine said

Does not appear on the disclosable police history or fingerprint record of any Australian State or Territory police service

I can remember last year someone having problems with how it was worded im not sure if it was aussie@princess or becky but it is in the archives

Angela

[aussiewench 9]

Thank you Angel.....that has eased my mind.

Mine states...

this is to certify that there are no 'disclosable court outcomes' or outstanding matters recorded against the name and/or fingerprints of (My name) born on (birthdate), within the records of police services in australia.

I remember the problem you are referring to and I tracked that down again earlier. It was an issue with certificates being issued in SA as they werent connecting the fingerprints in the wording ....or something like that.

Hey I got a tetanus shot on Friday and my arm is still sore. Bloody, bloody though I forgot about the HIV thingy, Mmmm more blood to draw.
