POLICE REPORT AND MEDICAL QUERY

[ozamerican 2]

Hey guys,

I just got my NOA2 and am gathering all the documents so we can send package 3 in right when it arrives. I was hoping to get some advice about the police report and the medical.

My fiance (the beneficiary) has a old police report from 2008 already. Does he need to get a new one? I can't find anywhere where it says how recent it needs to be. Anyways, we are going on monday to the police station to get another one. But, I was wondering do you need to send that in with package 3 in order to get a interview date or do you bring that in to the interview? I was just thinking maybe we could send the old one in and say we are waiting for a new one? and what type of police report do we need?

Also with the medical...do you have the doctor send the records or can you take them yourself?

Anyone recently schedule a interview in sydney? how long did it take? we are trying to get him to the states as soon as possible! Sick of waiting! also, is sydney the only place they interview in australia?

thanks for your help in advance.

does anyone know what thread it is where someone lists everything in package 3? what forms and what documents you need to send through. thanks!

Don't know where to find your Australia-specific answers, but try fishing around on this link: http://www.visajourney.com/consulates/index.php?ctry=Australia&cty=Sydney

As far as the police certificate, I believe it has to be within a year. I'd get a new one, and I'd work on getting it ASAP.

I'm not familiar with Australia but I am sure someone will come along that is. However I am pretty sure the police report should be no more than 6 months old. I could be wrong, but I will say this, it is best to have the most recent of EVERYTHING. We applied a 30 day rule to ourselves, nothing more than 30 days old. Better to be safe than sorry. As far as when to turn it in, in our case it was to be brought to the interview. Look up consulate specific info here on VJ. Best of luck to you.

Congrats on your NOA2.

Your fiance is definitely going to need a new police certificate. He will have to get one based on a fingerprint and name check - make sure it is done with fingerprints as there are two types in Australia (one done only on name and DOB, and one done on fingerprints) - they won't accept it if its not done on prints.

I don't know what state your fiance is in, but you could be looking at a month or so to get this back (I got mine in NSW earlier in the year - DO NOT believe them when it says it only takes 7-10days - mine took 25!). I believe that the Police certificate needs to be sent with all your other documents prior to interview, but I am doing IR-1/CR-1 so my process after NOA2 is a little different so don't quote me on that bit.

Your fiance will need to have a medical exam done by an approved panel physician. I'm not 100% sure what other doctors do, but my panel physician sent the results back to me for me to take to the interview.

Sydney is very quick to schedule interviews. Once you send back all of your documents to them they usually schedule an interview within about a month.

Couple of links you might find helpful...

Our Aussie thread - has lots of info for K1s since it seems like nearly everyone from Australia does K1...I'm the odd one out doing IR-1/CR-1 lol

US Embassy Canberra - has all the instructions and list of required documents

P3 to Interview date thread - thread for Australian beneficiaries...alot of posts by Vanessa&Tony who is VERY knowledgable about the K1 visa process for Australians

Good luck!
