    Hi everyone!

    I have just joined this forum and I am amazed at how fast the visa granting for others are. Congratulations. On this light, I would like to ask your help regarding my issues on my visa application.

    My husband and I (dependent) applied for a visa 189, lodged last Feb 27, received a contact from our case officer (Adelaide) last March 31. She asked for several documents such as police clearance / offshore police clearance certificates, medical, form 80, payslips, English Cert (for dependent).

    Question: Should we just attach a scanned colour copy of the original police clearance certificates or should we send the original police clearance certificates issued from us (Philippines, Singapore, France, Kuwait, HK) by POST to the dept in Australia? What is the procedure normally?

    Our case officer is also requesting for an offshore police clearance certificate; is it different from a normal police clearance certificate issued by any country?

    We are also given 28 days to respond to her email, does that mean that we are only given 28 days to complete all the documents she requested from us? We can not not update our immi account as "request completed" until we have everything right?

    Apology for asking a lot :) Thank you and I would appreciate your help on this matter.

    @Kale_2016 Just scanned the Police Clearance and send it via email or attach it online. I think "offshore" since out of Australia. So like for PH, NBI clearance will do.

    I called today to follow-up. Within the 28 days, wala daw processing sa side nila. It's only after 28 days that they will continue to process. And I would just have to wait. Hindi rin hiningi ang PP ko.

    Sa nag follow-up via email, did you just reply to the CO email? Or may dedicated email for follow-up?

    Thanks.

    @Kale_2016 Yes, uploading coloured scan copy should be okay. Upload it on your immiaccount. Yung iba nagsend ng all the files to CO thru email. Whichever is fine. My understanding with offshore is outside Australia. Yes, you have to comply within 28 days.. If you need an extension, may form para dun which can be downloaded from the dibp website. Btw, will add you on the feb tracker :)>-

    @Kale_2016 police clearance certificates can just be uploaded as colored scanned copies. are you staying in Au now? if yes, you need to submit an Au police clearance (onshore) and from all other countries you have stayed for at least 1 year (offshore).

    @dyanini Thank you for your help. :) Ano palang contact info ka tumawag? Magkakaiba ba depende sa kung saan yung case officer? Thank you so much!!!

    Naguguluhan lang ako kasi nakalagay sa attached letter ni case officer regarding police clearance application for Singapore is this ..."The processing time for this certificate is approximately 2 weeks. If you receive the original Certificate of Clearance, it must be submitted to this office as soon as possible, quoting the above file number" Naguluhan lang ako sa part na yan....

    Thank you so much!!!

    @Kale_2016 online correspondence usually. via email or directly sa immiaccount. so scan lang and no need to send the actual papers. sa case ko, kahit hindi explicitly sinabi, colored scan tapos naka certified true copy pa.

    as for your question kung san kukunin ung police clearance, it depends on which countries. sa dibp website, nakasulat kung san ka dapat kumuha per country. for example, sa pinas dapat NBI (under DOJ, hindi sa police stations). pero sa singapore, sa cantonment office (in the essence, police institution).

    @se29m: Thank you. Sige will do that. :) By the way, generic email lang kasi yung email para sa case officer, been trying to send an email to her pero wala kasing reply, nakaaddress lang dun sa case officeer with her details ang email ko. Just to clarify: Ok lang ba na magattach ng required docs both sa email (gsm.allcoated) as well as to my immi account? :)

    Sorry medyo hindi ako familiar, san idodownload yung extension na form, would you recall yung no. or name ng form for extension? Ang dami kasing hinihingi ng Police Clearance Certificates ni case officer, (France (on process), Singapore (on process), HK (we dont have a letter from the case officer kaya di pa namin masimulan ang overseas application, Kuwait (done), Philippines (done).

    Yup, sure add me up.

    @engineer20 - Thanks sa info. No nasa Philippines kami ngayon, kaya lang ngayon palang namin ginagawa yung PCC applications since kailangan ng letter from the embassy for us to request for PCC sa ibang bansa.

    @Dyanini - Thank you! :). We are in the period of waiting, kakasend lang namin via dhl ang requirements sa Singapore..Singapore address ng friend ko ang nilagay kong postal address then sya nalang magforward sakin para mas mabilis, I hope possible yun and hindi ipadala dito sa Pinas, which I think would take longer. (i think)

    Thank you sa lahat ng sumagot at nagbigay ng inputs. :)

    @jedh_g You may refer to this kung nasa PH ka..

    BTW, the kids will be required to do PTB skin test. So need bumalik after ng 3 days to confirm results.

    Usual required test for adults is blood test, x-ray and physical examination by the doctor.

    If di pa kayo naglodge, generate muna ng HAPID for the exact details of the required medical test.

    @prcand Thank you. Yup, I have already attached my PCC kaso hindi pa complete. Nakapag-apply na kami ng PCC to those countries we have lived/workd for more than 10 years. Kaya lang di kami maka-apply for Hong Kong kasi wala kaming letter from the case officer, the letter she attached to her email was intended for Singapore and not HK. I asked her again via email, kaso wala naman reply. Accdg to the HK Police Force website, kelangan kasi ng letter galing mismo sa embassy.

    Thank you sa lahat ng inputs. :)

    @dyanini thanks sa link and info. We still have to pay the visa fees to lodge hopefully end of the month then we're all set for medical test ng family. Normally, pa clear ko rin muna congenital heart case ko. Wala naman ako unusual palpitation experience pero we opted to have my cardiologist evaluate me to have my doubts cleared. Good luck, malapit na big move ko!

    Hi everyone!

    Id like to inquire if there is a form I can download from the website (border.gov.au) for a possible "extension" to provide the required documents requested from us by the case officer. We are still in the process of requesting police clearance certificates from different countries and Im afraid we wont meet the 28-day allotted period given to us.

    Appreciate your help. :)

    @Kale_2016 di ko na din makita, pero iirc, may nabasa ako na ganung form.. May naresearch ako:

    It is usually possible to get a further extension if totally necessary, this should be avoided but we have never had an extension request denied. If you do have an extension request denied, you should request the case officer speak to their team leader, manager, principal migration officer or senior migration officer or put you in touch with them. We would do the same if we were denied the first request for an extension as we would consider this unfair and unreasonable decision making

    So you can email your CO for an extension request

Di ko kasi alam if tama yung naemail ko since wala pa kaming nakuhang reply from our case officer since then aside from automated response.
