Apart from FBI pcc, you will need a local/state PCC as well. Do it asap and upload it without any delay.

No Sishir, still waiting for any update
Iām also based out of USA and I uploaded FBI PCC into the National PCC section. WIll it be a concern? Do I need to re-upload the FBI PCC under FBI section?
I donāt think so as they can go through all the documents under āCharacter, Evidence ofā and figure out which one belongs to state/local/fbi etc. I have merged India PCC, local US PCC and FBI pcc into single pdf and uploaded under āFBI Clearanceā document type. i have kept file name as <MyName_MostRecent_NonExpired_PCC_combined.pdf> . Lets seeā¦ Main concern is that you should have all three available under āCharacter, Evidence ofā .
after 60 days of invitation, if we not submit application with in 60 days than more 60 days given than after its expire.
This is the Response i got from ombudsman.
Remember I didnāt contact DHA GFU deliberately so that it doesnāt go negative against me. Some clients got harsh responses after they contacted GFU. A friend of mine even got Natural Justice Letter.
Dear Mr Aktar,
I refer to your online complaint dated 22 December 2019 about the Department of Home Affairs (Home Affairs).
I have considered your complaint and have decided not to investigate it. The Ombudsmanās Office generally declines to investigate a matter until it has been raised as a formal complaint with the agency involved. This provides the agency with an opportunity to resolve the matter first and we have found it is usually a more efficient way of resolving a complaint.
The information you have provided does not indicate that you have raised a formal complaint with the Global Feedback Unit (GFU). The GFU is Home Affairsā formal complaint handling area, and it can be contacted by phoning 133 177 or via its online feedback form. The GFU will generally respond to complaints within 15 business days, after acknowledgement.
If you are dissatisfied with the response you receive from the GFU you are welcome to return to the Ombudsmanās Office via our online form with the following:
ļ· The date you lodged your complaint with the GFU
ļ· Your complaint reference number
ļ· A copy (or details) of the GFUās response
ļ· A summary of the reasons you are dissatisfied with the response.
As the above option appears available to you to pursue in the first instance I have closed your complaint and a copy will remain on file.
Unless you are responding to a request for information made by the Ombudsmanās Office within the timeframe specified please do not reply to this email. Any emails sent to this address which are not a response to a request for information are unlikely to be responded to. If your complaint is closed and you have new information to provide, you can submit a new complaint using the contact details on our website.
We are working to improve our services to you and have engaged Customer Service Benchmarking Australia (CSBA) to survey people who have contacted the Office about our performance. Completion of the survey is voluntary and any information you provide will be kept secure and confidential. If you do not wish to be surveyed, you can let us know by replying to this e-mail.
Yours sincerely
Cynthia
