Tecnik Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 I am going on holiday also while waiting for my 186. I will not need to get any new Police Checks. You will be fine in that respect. If they have not opened your file and your police checks are over 12 months old. They will likely ask for new ones when they open your file. So, just to clarify this issue...in about 20 days we'll be flying to our home country for a 3 weeks stay.We lodged 186 nom and visa last 20th April. Do we need to provide a new PCC (LR country)? Our MA didn't say anything about this when we asked if we could travel in/out. @Thakur g, the immi website says: "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." Therefore, an holiday (to your home country) should not be enough for a new PCC. Also considering that the PCC is valid for 12 months. Please advise if I'm wrong.

Mohsin Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 No ur processing will not be on hold ....they will process nd may be ask for ur new passport but it will not be on hold You mean to say they will assess the other documents and CO already asked my MA about expired passport. unfortunately my files open 1 day after my passport expired, otherwise the story would be other way around.

[emoji6] Your PCC should be valid (12 months from the DOI) when the CO open your file, So check your PCC and if it expires before SEP-2016, apply one immediately. "Short travel to home country after submitting the application", you don't need to worry because, The PCC requirements based on what you mentioned in the visa application (Last 10 years stay).

Sal32 Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 Hi Everyone, I'm am currently in the middle of my 186 process. My nomination was approved last Thursday 02/06/2016 (processing centre NSW). My nomination and application were submitted at different times, My employer nomination was submitted on 03/12/2015 and my visa application 13/03/2016. All my information on my application is on file so the case officer will have everything needed to make a decision on my application. I know the visa application takes 6 months from the date it is submitted, my question is, now my nomination has been approved will a case officer open my file to process my application even though my application has only been in since March or will I be waiting until the 6 months has passed from my application date until I hear anything ? Thanks ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
