Australia Police Clearance

[Ni & Pa 1]

Hi All

We have applied for K-1, its been a while, we have got the NOA2 approval the file still hasnt been forwarded to NVC. We understand there is a backlog and all, but we are hoping to receive packet 3 by early next month.

I inquired with the my local police station for the finger print check and i was told that the clearance can be sent only to an organisation and not to a personal address. Is this true? Does the Australian Police Clearance have to be directly forwarded to the embassy or does it get sent to us and we then forward or carry it with us during the interview.

I was in the impression that the you apply for the pollice clearance, receive it and then send it to the embassy.

Can anyone enlighten me what the actual process is?

Thanks in advance.

The online form gives a similar option. However when i spoke to this lady at the local police station she said it cant be sent to a personal address, it has to be sent directly to the embassy. My query is when you applied for the police clearance did you get it delivered to your address or to the embassy. If you did have it delivered to the embassy did you wait till you received your case number/packet 3 and then applied or did you forward it without the case number.

By the way I am from Sydney, NSW.

I got mine in Tasmania and they posted it to me. I made sure they understood it was for a Visa to America.

Hi

I am from Sydney, NSW.

I put my address, i don't want them to send it to embassy directly.

I booked my medical BEFORE I knew my case number, but case number came before the medical date. i started the police check BEFORE I know the case number, i think.

Thanks for that. I went and got the police clearance done though it was bit messy, the constable wasn't aware of the procedure for the combined fingerprint check (name, date of birth and the fingerprint) as a result I ended up paying for 2 different checks (name/DOB and fingerprint), hopefully it all works out, however I will follow up with the Criminal Records Department from where it is issued.

Regards.

Sounds odd.

You don't need to know your case number before doing your police check.

I am in Vic, I called the hotline to book my fingerprint appointment.

I got application form from local police station.

Then I just brought my 100 point documents, police officer photocopied and certified for me.

And police check was sent to my personal address.

The whole process was simple and easy but some expensive-$137AUD
