Once you have the passport, you can PCC in about a weeks time.

You will have to inform the australian auhorities regarding change of passport and address if required. the formats are available on the site.

I had faced the same difficulty and I got required extention from case officer. So there is nothing to worrry on that.

I don't think this is true...They cannot change address on passport like that!!
Even they did not mention this to me!! If they would have mentioned this to me..I would have never given my passport here in BLR RPO office..instead of that I would have gone to my native place and get the PCC done!!

Address on my passport is my permanent and the address where I am currently staying is the temporary one and also rented place..how they can ask me to change the address on passport like this...

Aman, why is you agent not giving you sincere advice here. I was wondering why were you hopping the passport office and calling police stations here and there, whereas you agent was supposed to do it.. If you are paying him then you should him also.

I have heard a variety of views and complications in getting PCC from other RPO (as just gak mentioned).. One view I heard that RPO are passing a law in which they won't even accept your PCC request until you give then CO request letter or some proof from Aus Immig as to why you need PCC..

Haha..man u kidding with me!! Agents are not there to clear your PCC.. they only give u professional advice related to immigration..like filling the forms..they only guide u on the right way..so that you don't some stupid thing and miss ur visa.. and they are also handy when your case is complex..

I think only problem in getting the PCC is timeframe..its wastage of time..!!

How they came to know the file has reached, did cops called or they went to police station to know the status.... Also are there two police stations involved, your immediate close police station and the distt headquarter police station?.. Did you forget to sign any form in the application which is being faxed?
