Australian POlice check for CR-1 visa

[nats1721 0]

HI all,

I just received my interview date at the London embassy - January 22, 2012!!! My only query is this: I am a dual national of the UK and Australia, therefore I had to obtain police checks from both countries. As I live in the UK the Australian Police check was sent to me as they only send it to emabassies in Australia. I forwarded it to the NVC along with the rest of the required docs. I stupidly didnt take a photocopy of it so now I am a little worried the NVC has not included it in my package to the London embassy... has anyone else had this situation? Im ondering if I should contact the Australian Police to get a replacement copy just in case.. or can I call the London embassy to ask if they have received it in my package? I asked the NVC but they could only suggest I take a copy with me just in case.

Thank You

With your interview packet, you should have gotten a checklist of what to bring to the interview, is the police certificate listed as one of the documents you need to bring?

DId you all NVC to see if they had it?

good luck

I think you are likely brewing up something to worry about. It's their job to get your entire file to London without randomly discarding one piece of paper out of it. Yes, it could happen but Pretty unlikely.

I'm assuming you did take fingerprints at a designated police station in the UK to send for your Australian police certificate? I remember a case last year where she didn't read the instructions and got the wrong kind of certificate (without fingerprints). Her visa was delayed getting a new one ordered.
