    Hi need your help here.. what's the process regarding providing police clearance once you get an invitation to apply? I read in the AU immigration website you will be given 60 days to submit an application for the visa after you get the invitation. Does that mean that all required documents need to be submitted including police clearance? FBI takes 3 months so I'm concerned that if I get my invitation (hopefully!!) that I won't have enough time and 60 days will expire. I'm stalling my submission of EOI since it seems that invitations are sent out it in less than 1-2 months, while I just submitted by FBI clearance. Baka magkasalisi..

    @multitasking hi. Sa website ng dibp,
    For the Australian Government to determine whether you are of good character, you might be asked to provide police certificates for each country you have lived in for 12 months or more, over the last 10 years, since turning 16 years of age.

    Is this still applicable? Or iba ang reqt nila? Nabasa ko kasi sa prev posts na at least 90days. Medyo contradicting lang.

    @chizmark as far i could remember, if you stayed in the US (or any country) for total of 12 months for the last 10 years... you will need to get Police Certificate....

    Pero sa case mo na cruise ship kamo.... how long ba kayo naka-dock inland sa US or within US waters?

    For my case, I visited and stayed in the US for more than 12 months in the past 10 years... di naman ako ni-require ng FBI clearance when I applied for Au PR.

    I suggest wait mo na lang advise ng agent mo para di masayang effort mo

    @chizmark if I could remember it right.. it would take a while before nila iprocess yung clearance, I think nasa website ng FBI yung current processing times...

    During that time, wala akong na-receive na acknowledgment from them or any communication, I think nagreflect na lang sa cc statement ko yung payment... then ipinadala nila via USPS yung clearance dun sa US delivery address na inindicate ko sa application form

    Kapag buong family yung tumira sa US, kailangan ba pati yung wife and kids ikuha ng fbi clearance? I'm planning to go thru the fbi process para umaandar na bago ko pa ilodge yung visa application.

    Did anyone who has their FBI clearance already process/receive? Based on the FBI website processing time is 12 weeks. Just wanted to know if someone got it much earlier. TIA
