Got a police check question;  I'm just wondering which police check people have been going with? and why so?

I've already gotten mine (went with the non fingerprint check) but thinking of redoing it and getting the fingercheck as well, after speaking with someone from NZ who has just gone through this process (earlier this year) and was required to grab a police check for his xbox alias.

I got mine with fingerprints (taken at a local police station using the blank ink) and I sent it together with my IDs and the AFP application form to their Canberra office.  I also included all my "also known as" names in the application form. That's what i submitted at NVC and they accepted it.

Anyone know how long it takes to get your passport back after the interview. It’s been  9 days so far. 
 

they said there was a system issue when I emailed.

I haven’t known it to take 9 days post interview. What does the CEAC status say? Issued? Ready? AP? 
 

There might be issues with putting visa onto passport - as it’s all electronic.

 

was your medical OK?

I just did the name check as offices were closed due to covid. NVC accepted it and we were documentary qualified 4 days post submission.  
 

fingerprints are preferred but name check is fine.

As far as I know the medical was ok. They hadn’t told me other wise. On CEAC where does it say status. It says it’s with the Sydney consulate. That’s all I can see.
