Australian Federal Police Check - incorrect request

[NZ_ozzie]

Hi all helpful people,

Maybe someone has been through same problem as me and can guide me.
I received my AOR last week and I just realized my Australian Police Check is incorrect form.
The reason is supposed to be 35 and not 33(Immigration) so I have applied for the correct one today.
The average processing time for AFP check is 20 days.
Do I email CIC and say I have sent through incorrect PCC and waiting for the correct one or would they open up my file and reject it straight away?

Thanks

Definitely email them, they have rejected for this before. I think if you have an 'active' email or however they track it, that might help delay/avoid the rejection so you can provide the new one in time.

thanks for the reply....Can you please explain what you mean by 'active' email ?

If you contact them it should leave a record on your account, and until they reply or deal with it I would consider it 'active', i.e. they have to address it rather than just reject your whole application.

I will create a CSE for Police Clearance with request proofs and hopefully they will wait..otherwise back in the queue
