@Everyone,

at what stage the visa officer will ask for police clearance ? can I lodge my 457 visa without submitting police clearance and submit them later because they will take some time and I do not want to delay my case.

thanks.

Most people don't do it until the case officer requests it which will be shortly before they are ready to grant.

When you say they will take some time, what do you mean? UK police checks normally take just a couple of weeks so I would wait until asked. Some countries can take months though, and personally I would apply for those sooner rather than later. You do not need them before submission though.

UK police checks shouldn't take long. They are only valid for 12 months, so you don't want to apply ridiculously early. Same applies to medicals.

I suspect, from his other threads, that the OP is not referring to UK police checks. He also has numerous other issues including an AAT appeal and a variety of visas for which he seems to be applying. I think a police check could be the least of his worries
