Police Clearing Certificates
I have just received acknowledgement that my application has been received. As I Live in London do I need to get the police forms for the national computer or just the metropolitan one? And is it worth doing so before they are requested?

It depends on how brave you are. If you do it too soon and your visa takes a while to come through you may not have long to validate (or move out). You generally have a year from your meds or PCC whichever is earlier. Do it too soon and you may run out of time to validate the visa and therefore lose it
They have to get the result back to you within 40 days.
