Hi Sarah, Your timeline sounds similar to mine, my husband the applicant just got through the RFI a couple of days ago. On there was police checks for him and sonship form. I was surprised that they didn't require me the sponsor to do police checks. When you got requested to do yours the AFP, did they only require you do Australian police checks? And is this because you haven't lived anywhere else for longer than 12 months?

Hey guys I'm trying to seek some advise. We applied on 5th May 2019, RFI 28th January 2020. In the request was the police checks for applicant and the sponsors application form - can't believe we missed this! I was just wondering is not every sponsor required to do the police checks? Has anyone else been approved and not had their sponsor do the police checks? My only concern is we submit the RFI, and then we get a second one asking for my (the sponsor) police checks. Ive lived in a few countries and one of them been the united arab of emirates, and I know their police check system is so slow on average 3 months to get the certificate once submitting and this is if you do it in person in Dubai. Am I better getting a head start and doing this now. Or if its the case not all sponsors get requested to do the police checks, is it best to wait and hope they don't request this? Any advice would be greatly appreciated! And Good Luck to everyone

Hey, Congratulations! Im also hoping to go home this year too. My partner just got RFI to do police checks and the sponsor form. But nothing regarding me (the sponsor) to do health or police checks. Im just trying to find out if not all sponsors are require to do a police check. Was this something you had to do? Would appreciate any advise

Hey There, Im sure you won't be much longer now! Just a quick question when you got your RFI, was the police checks just for yourself or for your husband the sponsor too?
