Can I bring my police check to the interview?

[Delilah'sMan 0]

Instead of sending it in? Can I just include an attachment with packet 3 telling the embassy that I intend on bringing my NPC with me to the interview?

yes, you can do it.

No you most likely can't. Read this thread: http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/356276-nsw-police-check-so-difficult/

yes, you can do it.

No you can't. Information for the visa is country specific.

So is it that I can't do it, or that it's not probable?

You can try. Of course you can try. I WOULDN'T because I loathe to go against the process 'cause there's no real way to know what will happen... but if you're insistent on trying go ahead and report back to let us know what happens

Good luck

I forget something in my packet three and they just told me to bring it to my interview. I suppose the worst that can happen if you send it without the police clearance is that they'll just tell you they won't give you packet four until they get it. We used a co sponsor for K-1 and i didn't realise that my husband still needed to fill out the I-134 as well (stupid oversight) so when i got my packet four email they just added it onto the list of stuff that i needed to bring to my interview.

The issue might relate to what exactly is missing. For example a birth cert isn't something that is a factor in the decision process but a police certificate could be if something comes up on it or something... same with income but because you used a co-sponsor your fiance's info wasn't important to the decision process.

Australia is pretty reasonable though, I wouldn't do it at many other places

When I was worrying about my police check not coming back to me on time when Iwanna send pkt 3 asap, i emailed Sydney Consulate, then few days later (today) I got a reply!!!!

Thank you for your inquiry.

The Australian police clearances are usually forwarded to our office from the Australian Police Force offices, therefore, you may send in your packet 3 documents and forms without the police certificate. In the event the certificate is mailed directly to you, you only need to bring it to your interview with one photocopy.

So yes you can bring it to the interview!

Thank you for this! That's the only thing holding us up right now so I will go ahead and tell Ben to send the packet now with a letter saying that Since his fingerprint appt is this coming Monday!!!

I would be careful about sending the P3 too soon though. It can often take a month or more to get the police certificate back, if they schedule your interview too soon you may have to change it.

Btw, congrats about getting the appointment

yeah, it does vary from state to state but in general people seem to wait a month or more. I was told mine would take two weeks. It ended up taking a little over a month :/

I got my police certificate in the mail 6 working days after I had the fingerprints appointment. Victoria can be fast. You can also call them and find out how it is going.

I was told 7-10 days and mine took a month as well. I did mine in Vic.

"Can be" being the operative words. I was shocked mine took so freaking long. Delayed my process and ticked me off!

[Austramerican 83]

Well, we'll give it a week and then maybe if he calls every other day it will work in our favor again lol

jk...but I would like it very much if he could be here by the end of April
