Hi
I was wondering if anyone else out there is waiting for Police Checks
from Oz. I have been waiting for 5 weeks now and my fiance has informed
me that it could be anywhere between 10-12 weeks. This is unbelievable I
am stuck in the UK waiting to put my front loaded application in and am
left in limbo.

cheers

Yep, I'm afraid you've got a lot longer
to wait. I posted my request on 8 March and I'm still waiting. E-mailed
them last week just to check they've got my application. They replied
the next day saying they had received it and I should get a response
within the next 2 weeks. But it might be longer.

Wankers.

Could somebody explain to me what is needed for
police checks?? I have requested and received police checks from the met
in the UK, but do I have to get one done from the Oz police too BEFORE
my visa can be submitted???

Sorry ... bit hung-over this morning and am
not thinking straight!

I
had to get one because I've spent over 12 months in Oz in the last 10(?)
years. Only done 2 trips, 1 for 10 months and the other for 5 months but
it was enough for a police check requirement from Oz.

Same applies for
any country you've spent more than 12 months in.
