Success on PIC 4020 Matter from AAT. Public Interest Criterion 4020, more commonly known as PIC 4020, is the Department’s main defence against fraud in visa applications. The objective of PIC 4020 is to make visa applicants responsible for the information they provide, and the integrity of any documents they submit to support their applications. PIC 4020 covers three main types of fraud: 1. False or Misleading Information that is connected to a criteria for the visa that an individual has applied for. An example of this declaring that you have no criminal convictions, when you have previously had a criminal conviction. Another example is declaring previous work experience that has not actually be undertaken. 2. Providing a fake of bogus document. The document does not need to be connected to any visa criteria, it merely needs to be given to attract attention under PIC 4020. 3. Concerns regarding an applicant’s identity; resulting in the Department being unable to satisfy themselves that the person making the visa application is who they say they are.
