The issue we have is that we don't have anyone in Australia that can send it to us. So it seems like we have have to get the digital one accepted.

 

How did your's got rejected for a second time?

AFP said they will send to back home address as well but I have seen many people didn’t receive ,, 

better to get the hard copy one

…at first submission I got wrong code and at the 2nd submission I submitted only the digital one ..

For the 3rd submission i submitted both digital and hard Copy then only nvc accepted 

Just now, Dante2019 said:

1) Is there a reason why they didn't accept the digital copy?

 

2) how long did it take to get the digital and hard copy?

 

3) Is there a difference between the digital and hard copy?

 

Thank you.

I have no idea why nvc don’t accept digital one coz in my case they rejected twice ,,,

digital copy u will get in two working days ,for hard copy they won’t send it to back home ,,so better request to send that in the Australian address like your family or friends postal address and Request them to send it in your back home address ,,

AFP started giving digital one just one year back coz of that may be coz of that

Good luck and hope you don't need to travel in the next 3 months or so. Apply for a passport as soon as possible because unfortunately it takes around 3 months with regular processing. Emergency passport is a hit or miss, sometimes there are no appointment event for emergency as far as I read so it's not a 100% that you will get a passport a couple of days before your travel date.

I'm trying to figure out how to get the Australian police certificate.

 

Here is our current situation:

1) My spouse (beneficiary) is a Korean national.

2) She studied/lived in Australia for 11 months.

3) We passed the NVC stage because I wrote a letter with a picture of the instructions stating she doesn't need one because she lived in Australia for 11 months.

4) She lived in Australia in 2002

5) She has no close ties to Australia.

6) We are currently residing in South Korea.

 

I have a couple of questions:

1) How does she get the 100 points of identification when she only has a Korean passport? What other documents can I upload that will be accepted?

2) Do I have to click number "33 - Immigration/citizenship"?

3) I want to get the digital copy, do I get right away?

 

Thank you.

I applied Australian pC from Nepal in my case for 100points…

I submitted my Nepali passport biography page ,bank statement,Nepali police report and my scanned bank card ,,,

yes u must have to select number “33”

you have to get both digital and hard copy …

at first i submitted only digital one that got rejected ,next time I submitted both hard and digital copy then only nvc accepted ,,, so please submit both hard and digital copy

thanks …

Hi Everyone ,

Thanks a lot for your guidance and help means a lot to me ,,Finally my Australian police report got accepted in 3rd time ,,,even though I got the right PC in 2nd time it got rejected ,,for the 3rd time I submitted the same pc which was rejected before ,,,I made a pdf file including hard copy and digital PC along with the confirmation email from AFP ,email from US travel  documents support as well as I too attached the information from AFP page ,, 

now I have emailed for the case expedite showing the administrative delay ,,

I Went through lots of stress coz of aus PC due to which my case is delay for 9 months ,,

good luck guys 

Hi Everyone,

As my correct digital Australian federal police (AFP) report with code#33 common wealth check purpose has been rejected by nvc ,, saying “invalid document please replace the one with correct issuing authority “ even though it was issued by AFP.

Now I have ordered the hard copy and requested AFP to delivered that in my brother”s address in Melbourne Australia.

As I am currently living in Nepal it will take more than a month to received the hard copy  ,not sure though coz here in Nepal there is no proper postal address documents might lost,

But in the certificate I can see there is the address address of Australia in which In requested AFP to deliver my hard copy ,,I have filled out all the address of Nepal in Ds 260 form of Nvc ,

I am wondering will the different address matter ??

does the certificate also need to have the address of Nepal or what ??

 Please let me know ,,, I can see here many people have submitted the international police certificate too in nvc ,,

Does your ds260 or other form address matched with your police report ??

thank you

Dear everyone,

 

Just letting you know that husband finally has been scheduled for his immigration visa (1R1) interview!  It’s a bit farther out from now than we’d like at 8-weeks (from end of Sept to end of Nov).  Looks like he can join me in the US in time for Christmas!!

 

As I wrote in this thread earlier,  the AFP reason code #33 we submitted in the second try after #35 was denied was, indeed, accepted and processing time took anout 68-70 days. We sent #33 electronic version and followed up with scan of hard copy front and back (There was some verbiage on the back.).

 

Blessings to you all and best wishes for speedy processing of all your applications!

Wow many many congratulations Jonna B very happy for you guys ,

i had requested a hard copy too ,,so thought to submit both digital and hard copy ,Nvc rejected my right AFP report saying Invalid one please replace the correct one with correct issuing authority,,and clearly my certificate is issued by Australian Federal police (AFP )

I am wondering guys my present address is Nepal and in Ds 260 form I have written the address of Nepal 

But In my police report there is a address of Australia coz I requested to deliver my hard copy in Australian address as it will take a month to deliver hard copy in Nepal ,,

will the different address effect ,

I even called AFP about this issue they said it’s just the postal address it won’t effect ,

who knows about NVC when they rejected even my correct AFP ,,

Please let me know guys 

thanks a lot

Hi everyone,

Just want to know while re-submitting the twice rejected same documents in Ceac ,,,,do we need to delete the 1st  rejected document from the account and replace the 2nd time rejected document with new one or we can directly upload the new one keeping the 2nd time rejected as usual in the Ceac ? Could anyone please tell me the correct procedure for re-submitting the rejected document in Ceac account ??

thank you

Email I received today from Sydney Embassy, I think they are trying to make sure everyone gets the right police certificate. 

 

Have you applied for the CORRECT Australian Federal Police Certificate?  

 

Many applicants apply for their Australian Federal Police certificate without following our specific instructions. Get it right the first time and you will avoid delays in processing your application.

 

It MUST state “Immigration/Citizenship – Australia”

 

 

If your Australian Federal Police Certificate does not state “Immigration/Citizenship – Australia”, please apply for a new Australian Federal Police Certificate, by selecting “33 -Immigration/Citizenship – for Supply to the Department of Home Affairs”.

 

National Police Checks | Australian Federal Police (afp.gov.au)

 

 

We look forward to processing your application on the day of your scheduled interview.

We just submitted all the civil docs for the first time. I put this in the comments box too, and uploaded an email from AFP saying I have the correct police check, so hopefully there is no RFE at least for the AFP certificate. 🤞

Don’t worry ChanelB you will get your AFP accepted .I am gonna do the same as you did ,after i receive my hard copy ,I am not sure how to upload the email by AFP in Ceac Account ,,how did you upload that ?

Did you screen shoot the email and converted in pdf and upload in Ceac or how did you do that ? 
thanks

Yes, I will send on Monday and I am going to upload the hardcopy, with the front and back scanned. I'll let you know how I go.

 

The email for AFP I used was the same one when they wrote to me. After doing the application online, they sent an email to me asking to clarify the spelling of the name, and I replyed to that asking for confirmation that the the #33 was correct.

Thanks so much ChanelB

so you not gonna send the digital one right only the hard copy ,,oky i will send email to AFP in the same one  to get confirmation from them saying it’s the correct one ,Are you submitting your AFP for the first time ? And my husband even trying to get help from senator too let’s see how it’s goes ,,I heard in case of nvc error we can request for case expedite not sure though ,,

I pray you get your Dq at once ,,

Best wishes ChanelB

Thanks so much Chanel H ,I will do the same 

So you gonna send your AFP on Monday right ?you got same like as mine right ??would you mind letting me know how you gonna upload it like only digital one printed and scanned both side or you gonna send them hard copy as well ,last time I directly send them the one which was sent by AFP without scanning just the digital one only the front page as I dint see anything at the back ,,

My Afp is already rejected twice which is very frustrating ,,after a wait of 27 month my case was accepted by uscis and now having issue with AFP 🥲😰

We can send email to AFP in their regular email right ?

Please instruct and guide me as well after u upload your AFP on Ceac how you would do it ??

Yea even i am not aware of it Could you please let us know how to type a comment in CEAC when we upload a document??

ChanelB did you get an email from AFP saying AFP fomat has been changed ?? I am also trying to get email from AFP saying the one we have is the correct documents and so on so that I can attached along with the Police report

Yes.  That’s what I remember that we did.  We printed both sides; scanned both; sent both via internet to NVC..  Ordered hard copy, also, to come by regular mail and saved it in our file with all the other original documents needed for the immigration interview, eventually.  

Thanks again JannaB  sure I will do so ,,,but I am wondering digital one consists of only one page right ??If we print out Digital ‘will there be any information in AFP report at the back side as well or just the blank one ?

Um yea I am getting the hard one via regular mail ,

Thank you !!

Oky sure JannaB I will do that ,,last time I directly submitted the digital one only the front page as it consist only one page that I got from the AFP ..

you mean we need to print out the electronic one and scan front and back page and submit to nvc ?I am not sure about it ,,

Thank you 

JannaB 

Thank you so so much means  a lot to me ,you are really a great human being❤️❤️I will follow the instructions given by you and upload the police report again ,I thought of uploading the hard copy too ,,I will get that by Tuesday ,,

I am wondering do we need to delete the rejected documents and replace that with new one or simply we can just add the new one ,, last time without deleting the rejected AFP we just uploaded new AFP in add documents section .

My husband consulted with the lawyer too yesterday,,He is waiting for her answer ,

I am wondering how I got that rejected on 21st sept and your got approved on 19th sept ,,my case is already back for 140 days  I am trying to get the email from AFP as well saying that the police report they gave is right and is accordance with the state govt reciprocal . I hope this will help me ,

My husband will send an email to senator tomorrow,,

Thanks a lot JannaB for you great help 

means a lot to me ,,

Lots of blessings✋🙏
