Hi guys, im a bit late submitting my documents, im trying to get the police certificate, but i was told by my local police station that i need to get one the the australian federal police for immigration related checks?
Can anyone advise?
Thanks.
By not submitting your documents yet do you mean you also haven’t submitted the form DS260?
Yeah you certainly are “a bit late” almost to the point of you may not get an interview late.
You need to make it your priority TODAY 29 APRIL 2021 to apply for your (and any of your derivatives aged over 15 (I think) AFP police certificate, option 33 as has already been correctly said, do NOT apply for option 35, that includes finger prints, is more expensive, not necessary and takes longer.
Remember you need the physical original AFP police certificate for your interview, not some printed colour copy, as the original has security features on it the Consulate know to look for to confirm it’s genuine.
I would be asking the AFP today if they can also email you a copy of the original certificate as soon as it is printed so you can email the copy to KCC along with your other documents.
Do you have your other documents? You know what other documents you need to email KCC?
You’ve completed the DS260?, as completing the DS260 is certainly not a 5 minute job, especially if your including derivatives, and/or you have moved around a lot, and/or worked a lot of jobs as you have to list EVERY address you have lived at, including dates, and EVERY job you have worked at, including dates and duties performed.
If you are going to apply to qualify for the DV on genuine work experience be sure to list your work duties on the DS260 that are consistent with the O*Net job zone 4 SVP 7.0> job you will be relying upon at your interview.
This is why I am saying you have really left this late, as there is a lot of vetting and security checks done on you and any of your derivatives by the US BEFORE you are scheduled for a interview, that takes time in any normal year, and this year is far from being normal, ALOT of time was lost due to Trump’s executive orders banning immigration, and Biden’s delays in removing Trump’s executive orders.
Once you are scheduled for an interview you also need to schedule a medical, there are only one to two doctors in each Australian State who can do these medicals, and given all Oceania selectees are now “current” those doctors, like KCC, will be swamped by Oceania selectees and their derivatives.
Also remember in nine days from
Now DV2022 results come out, so around 100k+ new selectees will be eligible to send their documents to KCC, so KCC will likely be swamped with documents in just over a week.
Good luck
