i submitted an national police cert scanned both sides in pdf within the size limit, i don't understand

Is your police certificate full disclosure + all aliases (or fingerprint check)? I've read several times on these forums that those two options is what they want out of an Australian police certificate.

[asew50 1]

it is not fingerprint.
I have never given my fingerprints to the police and it says on the travel.gov website that it is not required.

should I re send the same one? I have been submitting via email

I think this is the issue. Australia is not a EP country. Did you only email your Police certificate or all your IV package? How did you send in the rest of your IV package?

[NikLR 13,220]

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.

Applicants who are required to provide an Australian Federal Police certificate should present it at the time of interview or request that it be sent directly to the Consulate where they will apply

It's possible the NVC aren't accepting it because some moron thinks it must have fingerprints vs not.

You can also get a new one and have them send it to the embassy.

This is also something you can ask a supervisor review for.

SYD DOS case numbers can use EP.
