Hi there, I applied for my 820 visa in December 2017. I am now wondering when would be a good time to submit my police clearance & medical cert considering that they are only vail for 12 months. Should I do it soon(ish) or wait till asked by a CO?

ALSO, I need to apply for a BVB for April this year. WHen would be a good time to do this also? My BVA comes into effect 5th feb.


Thank you for any help!!!

BVB - 2 months before will give them plenty of time.

Medical and police clearences - Either 8-14 months after you apply (based on current wait times) or wait until you are contacted. There's no correct answer to this. Just remember the wait can be long so the sooner you do them the more hance there is they will be out of date and you will need to redo them.

At the end of the day if they expire the cost to get a fresh set done is minimal.

Thank you. Would you know how i go about applying for bvb? Is it a request form on the immi website that I can email?

Note on BVB - Immi site says no more then 3 months before and no later then 2 weeks before. I will stand by the 2 months.
