certified court record

We have seen cases in the past in which immigration officers have requested raised seals. We have advised the people to comply since doing so is usually better than arguing with immigration officer. There is of course merit in arguing that a disposition which has an original signature by a court official and a stamp of the court should be good enough. Your choices would appear to be arguing either on paper or in person that what you already submitted should be accepted or taking the trouble to contact the court and police in Australia for court disposition and arrest record containing raised seals or an explanation by each agency that it does not provide raised seals. The best solution would probably have been to argue the matter with the officer and/or his or her supervisor at the time of the interview.
