PCC

[sandiego]

When we submit documents initially to Buffalo, do we need to attach police clearance certificates? My uderstanding is they will again ask for PCC at a later stage, right?

thanks,

if you are with the new process for FSW1, definite PCC goes to the visa office with other documents. If the PCC from your current country of residence expire before you get your PR, they may ask you for a new PCC. Thats what i heard.

Yes. thats correct.

You need to submit PCC with your full application to Buffalo

Just copied from EG7.pdf

Note: If you are including your police certificates with your application to the CIO, please ensure that your certificates were not issued more than three months earlier. Police certificates are generally valid for 12 months from the date they are issued. However, if a final decision is not made on your application before the expiry of your police certificate, the visa office may request that you provide a new one.

I submitted mine with all document to CIO, so PCC date a month or so before. So if they strictly apply the 12 month validity clause and my case not finalised within 12 months of PCC date then I "may" be asked for new one.
