Form 1101 (Australian Police Records Check) states (on page 3) that the processing time is 30 days.

For those of you who have experience in getting one, could you please post a reply stating how long yours took? Thanks!

Georgias

Please, could someone help out on this one? My partner and I have an interview with DIMIA in mid-January and we may have to postpone it if we haven't received back the Australian Police Check. Postponing it would mean wasted flights and accommodation, so it's a big worry!

If DIMIA keep their word, they should have it finished by Christmas, but because it's Christmas, I'm worried that there may be extra delays in the processing, not to mention the post. Thanks for your help!

Hi,
i applied for my oZ police checks back in july and it took about 2 weeks in all to get them back(that includes the posting time both ways as well) so it was a very fast, efficient service.
cheers

Mine took months. Sorry. However, so did a lot of peoples between about Jan-May this year. The DIMIA were aware of this problem and gave extensions where need be. I think 'generally' they do keep to their guidelines though. Often CO's will allow for something like a police check to be added at a later stage, just check with your CO well in advance to see if this can be done.

Cheers

Check my Signature posted on the 25/11/04 no word yet.

Immigration lawyer thinks they are taking about 4 weeks at the moment....

Mine didn't take very long at all - less than 4 weeks I think. However, I had to get it reissued cos there was a discrepancy between my date of birth - written in 2 places on the form but incorrect for one of them. They were really helpful when I called them about it though.

Received mine back last night so it took about 20 days.. not to bad.

Just waiting for the UK police to get their finger out of their **** now.
I wonder if scotland yard is sitting around drinking chamapane because its Christmas.

Georgias hope you read this.. I'll drop you a mail when I get a chance.
