The answer is they don't really know what happened.

So,if I think my doing is right then I am right. :bonk:

When I look a sample of national police certificate,all is the same!

Any word on this from the consulate, hktw? I'm curious as to what they tell you.

My husband got his packet 4 email thing telling him his interview date. On the list of documents for him to bring to the interview, it includes NSW/QLD Police Certificate. Argh! Since we do have an email from the consulate telling us only one PCC is needed, I think we will print that out and bring it along. I may email them again myself to ask about this particular list, though. Good lord, can't these people get it straight how things work in Australia? It's not like they haven't been processing these visas for ages! *tears hair out*

I got their reply but I don't think they really answered my question,did they? :wacko:

They couldn't just answer me like" all Australians only need 1 national police certificate which must be based on fingerprint search and no matter where you apply for it." Sigh.....

here is their reply.

-----------------------------------

If your Australian police certificate states that it was issued on the basis of a fingerprint search, the certificate will be accepted by this office.

If it was issued on the basis of a name check only, the certificate will not be accepted.

Please be advised, however, that final determination of acceptance of documents can only be made at the time of your visa interview.

---------------------------------------

And when I looked back my Australian police check(I did a photocopy)

It stated that a fingerprint and name based search of the records of the Australian state and territory police forces and the Australian federal police has been conduced on xxxx

Does this mean they did use my fingerprint and name search from the national data base, which covers all Australia? If not, why this mentioned state, territory and federal?

From my understanding, I think so!

Hey, I know this thread is a few months back, but I got the same email from NVC and then for my interview checklist, I got the same police check as you guys got, I only had to get it because I did 2 years of college in NSW, then went back to travel for 8months, but ended up just sticking around NSW for all of it. I'm not even an Auz citizen!! So does my police check cover me? I would hate to get this far and get denied on a silly confusion point!! It's an AUSTRALIAN police check, surely they realise that covers EVERY state!! Jeez! So will I be ok you think? Thanks. David.
