Just received email same as Gandt that AFP check has been processed and will be in next mail.

Technically, they should go off the advice in the direct DV link I would have thought. We will hopefully have both if the AFP comes next week and I'll take both to the interview. This will be good to sort out for all future interviewees.

Revieved a response as follows: Thank you for your recent inquiry. Depending on which Australian state or territory in which you reside will depend on how to apply for the Australian police certificate. Please refer to http://canberra.usembassy.gov/obtain_police_cert.html for further...

I'm thinking of it like insurance, probably won't need it but there's a slight chance you will. It would be a shame to come all this way and have one incorrect bit!

Thanks, that is a very fast turnaround! Let's hope they keep up the good work, the website says 15 days turnaround for name checks and 30 days for finger prints.

I have applied for the Federal Police check just to make sure. I really think the original check will be okay but I dont want to take the chance. I've also sent an email with our reference numbers asking if the could be processed urgently.

I just called them and they only accept questions via email: support-australia@ustraveldocs.com. My hubby ordered the Fed full disclosure certificate last night. It's a 10 business day turnaround time so probably won't make the interview date. I'm not going to order it, Suicideblonde said she...

What two did you get? Local and Federal? I'm going to call Sydney tomorrow to confirm, it should be okay but I need to know for sure. Will post here after I call them, thanks everyone!

Thanks again Emily. I still can't find it and had a look at the instructions http://travel.state.gov/content/dam/visas/pk%203%20supplements/SYD%20-%20Sydney.pdf

Thanks for the info Emily, I am/was having a panic attack over this seeing our interview is only 12 days away. We have National Police Certificates dated 10 November 2014. So the 'full disclosure' bit has been added since then. The form states 'Reason for Check - Application for an overseas...

Where does it say 'full disclosure' in the supporting docs needed?

We used US photos for the Medical. The photos are going on US forms which you have to write many US dates so we are using the same photos for our interview. Not that the dates had anything to do with it but thought I'd mention it. It's hard writing US dates! We had our photos done at Teds and...

It should be standard for all doctors as the rest of the DV process is.

Yes we did ours at Medibank. When we went to do our X-Ray I had to walk back to pick up the paperwork. The X-Ray receptionist phoned them and said they had already sent two people without paperwork this morning! So it must have been you. We were told to bring 3 photos which we did. Fortunately I...

Had our medical today, all good and will do a proper post after our interview in 2 weeks. Hope everyone's preparations are going well.

We've used Alamo and Enterprise and they have both been good. Always book online for the best rate, the airport isa lot more as you would expect.

I feel your pain...hang in there, you are a lot closer than some others!

I had a speeding fine which was paid too and it wasn't on the Police Check

Thanks, appreciate the link. We were already heading to one on the list so that's good. All done now, one less thing to do.

I changed my name when I was married and my Police Check says, 'my full name' formerly 'maiden name' born xxxxxxxxx. I too was worried about this but found out name check was okay. In saying that, we haven't had our interview yet so I won't know for certain until we do it. But I'm confident all...
