Australian Police Check

[cbro 59]

So this is what I got from Australia for my spouse's police certificate.  Is this not the right doc?  It seems to be OK to me but NVC has rejected?

 

I do see on the travel.state.gov "Exceptions:  None – applicants must apply for a Complete Disclosure Australian Federal Police Certificate."  Are they rejecting because mine says "standard disclosure" ?? 

 

Ugh might have answered my own question but appreciate any input.  Thanks!

Seems like all they did was run your spouse's name through their court database for any criminal cases. In that case (no pun intended), it would definitely get rejected for being incomplete disclosure. 

When I went to the Police station for my Certificate of Character in Trinidad & Tobago when my husband applied for me, I was taken to a separate room, fingerprinted, swore an affidavit about the document being submitted to Police HQ being true and direct information provided by me, signed said document and was told to contact them in 2 weeks for follow-up as these take time to come back to the local police station in my area.

The results came back that my name was not involved in any illegal activity, my fingerprints were not collected in relation to any criminal investigation (past and present) but only at the US border - they actually knew I got 10-pointed in FLL airport when visiting!

 

Possibly have your spouse contact them to clarify what is needed and let them know it is for immigration. I explained what I needed it for because there were different forms that the Trinidad police fill out for different situations....certs of character for employment are very different from those you submit for immigration and I was not aware until I told the officer as he thought it was an employment one I needed

Thank you... Yes everything is different, for Australian it seems fingerprints not necessary.  Also we are not living there now so we can't get there unfortunately either...

 

"Australian Federal Police certificates based on fingerprints are preferred, but a certificate not based on fingerprints is acceptable if it shows all aliases ever used."

 

I think I picked the wrong category the first time around.  I think i picked 35  ;-(

 

 

• In same section under Purpose of Check, select Code ‘33’ – Immigration/Citizenship – for supply to the Department of Immigration and Border Protection.
• DO NOT SELECT Code ‘35’.

Hey CBRO did you end up getting the correct police certificate? I am in the same situation. However, the AFP changed their wording and it no longer says "complete disclosure". Just wondering if you selected code 33 and got the right form. Thanks!

Hmmm yes the 33 worked for my wife.   Maybe double check the NVC civil doc site and make sure its still showing 33?
