Hi Guys

the NZIS site states that police certs are valid 6 months to the date the application is lodged - does this mean the date they recieve the application or the date its assigned to a co? I'm worried cos my candian police check expires soon - i seem to be running out of time!

Also, when obtaining a cert for my kiwi hubby to sponsor me, does he still need the ACPO or is a subject access enough for him? I have no probs with the former, but he's struggling to find proof of addresses that are acceptable! To be honest the only thing from holding us back on posting the application is his police check!!

Can i send in my application to be lodged, then forward his certificate later?? Cos NZIS says as long as it doesn't reach 12 months during processing then its fine.

ARRGGHH!! sorry for all the questions, i've tried calling and emailing people but i'm not getting answers! The peeps on this forum seem to have a better idea most of the time! xx
