WH Visa & Police Checks
Is it usual for AHC to request copies of police records for a WH Visa?
I ticked the box on the application to show I had a conviction and detailed the driving offence. They replied with a very stern letter requesting the police record. This is a pain as it seems this will delay things by at least 40 days.
I am hoping this is a formality and that a drving offence is not a barrier to getting a WH Visa?
Does anyone have any knowledge/experience of this?

Relax. From other similar threads on this board, a non-serious driving offence will not matter at all and some posters even say that speeding offences did not even figure in the police form. I think they are being prudent and checking whether it was a more serious offence (eg killing somebody through drunk driving etc).

Hi,
Relax! 8-)
In 1994 I got 3 points for 99.1mph on the motorway between glasgow and edinburgh,
since then they have obviously dropped off my license.
I have my police record and it mentions nothing about it.
