Ok Does anyone else get bogged down and confused with the paperwork you have to fill in?
Filled forms in sent them off for a PR employer nominated visa, now been contacted by the migration agent, to say they need the police checks done prior to sending forms off???
I thought we waited til we were asked as we are still in the good old freezing cold UK.
Or is it because Oh's future emplyer is paying for the visa that we need to do it before hand
Or has the migration agent got totally confused???
I know I am

Jen, Police Checks are normally requested after the other info has been processed. You can "frontload" them to save time but I don't think you ever have to if you don't want to.

Could it be the future employer wants the police checks. I had to have police checks for my current occupation in the UK. They may just want to check you out before they pay for the visa. Not sure on this, it is only a thought.

Of course hubby phoned up the police in a panic (don't worry he didn't dial 999
) asking what he needed to do so have now filled in forms for the police and have been told they get sent to Scotland Yard and the turnround for getting them back is 30 days apparently. By the way hows things going Buzzy ? are you having a good time?Thanks Nicky the employer is very happy and doesn't need us to have police checks, we've already signed the contract.
Out of pure insane curiosity does anyone know if you have signed a contract of employment with your future employer in Australia and have a job to go to does the visa go through quicker????
Or is it just pot luck how long it takes?
Many Thanks

My Police Checks were back in 15 working days - I think this is a record!
As for your last question - I think this depends on the visa you are going for. Try posting on the immigration forum for a more informed response.
