Guest andypcrosby Posted October 23, 2011 Help and advice needed. We have finally got to the medical and police check stage of our application but we are not sure of the best route to take for my wifes police check. She is originally from the Ukraine and so we need to find out the quickest and easiest way to get her certificate from there. I have read that we have to contact our nearest ukraine consulate in london which we have done but have heard nothing back. Another option is to fly there and hope to get it that way but this costs a lot of money and time off work is an issue for both of us. Last is an online Ukrainian Translation firm who claim to be able to retrieve and send a certifiacte within a few business days but im not sure if it will be 100% genuine as they claim. Any help and advice on this issue would be really appreciated. Thanks, Andy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jawaustralia 10 Posted May 2, 2013 We live in London but are in Kiev two or three times a years visiting the in-laws. Have had a few trips there organising documents so that my partner could do her MSc in London (getting apostille's, certified translations etc). I used to live in Canberra and Sydney also in Oz for about 20 years so I know Australia pretty well and how picky they can be. My wife is also eligible for her British Passport early next year, so once we have that she will be applying for her Australian spouse visa once we have that and we will travel together there. Anyway, we found a good agency in Kiev (next to the Circus area) which wasn't too expensive and seemed reputable which we used for all of our documents. We had to get these documents for the Indefinite Leave to Remain in the UK. Anyway, if you have any questions am happy to help out if I can, no doubt you have probably sorted this all out by now anyway. Good luck Cheers James.

Quinkla 2,650 Posted May 2, 2013 I would encourage your wife to telephone the Ukranian Consulate in the first instance. It often helps to be dealing with a real person who can then tell you about timescales, difficulties, etc. Feb 2010 Prospective Marriage Visa | Nov 2010 Temporary Partner Visa | Nov 2012 Permanent Partner Visa | Jan 2015 Australian Citizenship Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
