Basically when you request a NZ police check, it takes nearly one month to get the outcome, and will be expired after 6 months. So it is perfect if you renew that police check every 4 or 5 months. After you get the reports from NZ office just upload it to immi account or ask your MA to update it for you. In the case that you forget to renew it, and case officer touches your case by the time your recent NZ police checks expired, they will request you to renew it, and of course you got 28 days to respond. But again it normally takes 20 working days to get NZ police clearance, and you want to get it as soon as possible. In that case you would need to call NZ office, tell them (nicely) to help to put your application in fast track (which takes one day only), NZ officer will ask you to send them by email the request of Australia government, and boom it is done overnight (in my case). Hope that helps!

Hi Dhakalbinod its Vic team 12

PR has just been Granted this morning, what a good start for the week! I have been a silent reader in this forum for nearly two years, and would love to thank you guys so much for helping each others and make a day pass by easier because I know waiting in this process is really hard. I come to this forum every single day and seeing someone's PR granted makes me feel stronger as I know I get closer to it. And today I cannot believe that it is my day to share my story, and I hope this will help someone else. So the very first thing I want you guys to keep in mind is that if you have been to New Zealand before, please make sure you renew your police clearence every six months. The NZ police checks will normally take 20 working days or 1 month to get the outcome, so be prepared. If it is a request from Australia Home Affairs, you can actually call NZ office, send them the request and get the outcome in 1 day which is fast track and I would say the guys in NZ office are amazingly nice people, but renew the police checks in advance is always the best way. Besides the police checks, please download and fill out the Consent to Disclosure of Information Form and submit along with the police checks to immi account as this will allow your case officer to confirm with NZ office that there is no other page on your records. Please remember this as it took me two months from the day of request to get me PR, I blamed myself so many times to the delay of the process lol. Anyways, hang in there, be patience although it is hard, keep praying and your time will definitely come.
