Ok, I sort of asked this a few weeks back and no one answered, so I'm not sure if anyone will answer now. I know everyone's super sick of police report questions, but this question is a bit different.

We got my husband's NSW police check several months ago. They posted it back to us instead of the consulate and I sent it along with everything else in the DS230 (because that's what I thought I was supposed to do, for some reason). They sent me a checklist for it and I called them saying that it's definitely in the application and they said okay, there must have been confusion because it normally doesn't come to them.

Now, I've just gotten my husband's interview date, and the letter is asking me to bring along a copy of the NSW police report. So, I'm pretty confused. I know for certain that it was included with everything else. Could they have just lost it? Do I need to try to get another one before the interview? Should I just ignore it and assume they're mistaken? Has anyone else come up against this?

I would really appreciate any thoughts on this, if anyone has any!

Did you make a copy of it before you sent it in? We sent our original in with everything else and we made a couple of copies to keep. We didn't get a notice saying we needed to bring in a copy of it to the interview. (We got the AFP so it came directly to us.) I don't know when your interview is, but if you didn't save a copy for yourself, then you may want to contact them to see if they made an error and it's in there. There may be a fee involved with getting another copy of the police check, although I know it would be worth it over having to wait because the paperwork disappeared. Maybe you can contact the agency that did your report and get another copy of the police report just in case? Even if you contact the Embassy, they only take calls on Friday mornings (at least that's what it says on the page, I could be wrong) and e-mails take several days I've found. I haven't seen anyone else with this issue, but that's a tough situation, I'm sorry!

Thanks for answering me back! We did definitely make a digital copy, so I know I'm not crazy and that it was sent in. I thought maybe the reminder to provide a police check that was in our email was sort of standard since people don't normally send it to the NVC. But I guess if you didn't receive one, it's not?

I don't know how they could have lost it. It was in the package with his UK police check and I know they got that. I'll try the NVC again tomorrow and see what they say. I don't know if they can tell me if they actually have it or not, but I guess I can kick up a fuss if they say they don't. Thanks again for the help!

No, his certificate is from April, so it shouldn't be out of date yet.

Well, I called the NVC today and spoke to a lady and she said to just ignore what they've said about the police certificate. I don't know what that means, but she just said I could ignore it. I'll probably send my husband to the interview with a copy of the certificate just to be on the safe side. Ah, the ways of the NVC are a mystery!

Hi, everyone...

I am yet another confused beneficiary trying to figure out this police certificate business. I went and did my fingerprint check last week at my local police station here in Sydney, but they said they don't give me the results but send them straight to the consulate. I am confused now, because from what I have read below you guys sent your police certificate to NVC?huh2.gif

Hi! I went into a local police station last week and was told the same thing -- that I needed to provide them with a pre-stamped envelope addressed to the Sydney US Consulate, that I shouldn't have to receive the certificate at all. I thought that the prints was supposed to be forwarded by the local police station to take my prints, to the Criminal Records Police in AParramatta, and then they would mail to me the certificate which I would take to the interview.

Did you have any further experience with this?
