Totomony Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 if you have the reference number , you can check online , but for me because our MA did not give us any reference number , so we just can wait for MA update Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crunchy Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 Hi Guys I have a small question about overseas police check if someone can answer. I and my wife applied for 186 in april and our overseas police check at that time was only 3 months old . The application is still in progress and may take a few months before it gets finalized. As the police checks are apparently valid for 12 months so is there any chances of visa officer requesting for a new police check even we never left australia since then and the existing one is still valid and still have 8 or nine months validity on it? Because while here in Australia getting the police check done from my country is very difficult. So we should better start working on it now if there is a possibility of requesting another police check by DIBP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crunchy Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 Hi mateOverseas police check is valid for 6 month not for 12 month only AFP is valid for a year,I knew it coz I submitted 2 times my overseas police check in between a year. ..so make sure mate Hi buddy Thanks for your help . On DIBP website they say its valid for 12 months that's i though i should ask . Did they actually ask you for an overseas police check twice in twelve months or it is only a matter of being ready to get another check as there is a strong chance of them asking again .

I heard the pcc could work forever for the country where u ve never back and lived in, in another word it's impossible to commit a crime while u r not there, so a ten years old pcc still works as long as u have never back that place.
