Hi PH,
Many thanks for starting this forum. I have a question I'm hoping you or anyone would be able to help with. I got my PPR on the 24th of Aug and then found out I needed to get an FBI clearance. I sent my passport ahead anyway while I waited for the police clearance to be sent. This took 3 months - it reached the AVO on the 11th of December. I'd informed the AVO that I was going to apply for the police clearance of course.
My passport's been with them for 4months and not a word from the AVO, not even acknowledging that my passport's with them.
What do you all think I should do? I have an important trip for work next week so.... I wonder if I should request for my passport to be returned, do my trip and then send it back for the visa
