It has written that I must provide the original certificate.. but on the other page of the same document sent by my case officer, it was provided that:

DO NOT send any original documents or provide paper copies of documents already attached to the web browser or sent by email, unless specifically asked to do so by your case officer.

I did not sent any original certificate (im online applicant) I just had simply attached scanned copy of that PCC Certificate..

Please advice me??

The other guidance sent along with it is the same guidance sent to everyone. It states...Do not send original unless specifically asked to, you was spcifically asked to send original...... so send it.

Follow the instructions given by your case officer, the instructions are there and they are clear. Don't always rely on information from other people who may or may not know or you could risk your visa.

Character requirement
● Police clearance certificate from India for each applicant aged 16 years or over. Please refer to the enclosed form Character requirements penal clearance certificates for further instructions. You must provide the original certificates.

because here CO has specifically written that YOU MUST PROVIDE THE ORIGINAL CERTIFICATE.. That'swhy im affraide..

If u were also received the same covering and against that you supplied via uploading the document which has resulted in to the document showing MET, then it can be accepted that whatever I have done - no need to worry (as I've also uploaded the PCC on time i.e. within 28 days)

plz advice...
