Are you sure you need a police check from China, I may be wrong but my understanding is that you only need a police check from another country if you lived there for 6 or more consecutive months, not 6 months or more of accumulative visits. A letter explaining the situation will not do anygood if you do need a check though. Call or email them I say. Best of luck

Thanks for your reply ![Smile](https://britishexpats.com/forum/images/smilies/smile.gif)
Thing is I'm not even sure if I was arrested, it was so long ago and nothing came of it other than a telling off and an angry parent collecting me from the station. Saying that, the question also says, have you ever 'committed'... :/ I'm confused about what to put now![Sad](https://britishexpats.com/forum/images/smilies/sad.gif)

Honestly mate If I were you I'd answer no to the questions. I think your shooting your self in the foot if you say yes to anything when there is nothing recorded on your police check and there are no records to find anywhere in the police database. You clearly don't have any criminal record as show on your police check which is what immigration are concerned about.

Hi folks,
I'm a bit stuck as to how to fill in my education history. Basically I've got my GCSES, dropped out of college but then in the last few years, I've done like an introductory course through the Open University.
On the declarations form, it asks for highest level obtained, I'm tempted just to put 'Open University Certificate in Maths', or something equally vague. Or I guess I could just put I've not done any higher education? The main form also wants the same information, and of course there's the attached CV too.
Anyone in a similar position?

Hey, can someone who already has a working holiday permit tell me the IMM number of it? Is it IMM1102? It's just so I know I'm applying for a replacement of the right thing!
Thanks.
Thanks.

Finally sent my forms today, think I must have double checked them about ten times.
Good luck everyone!

I sent mine just before Christmas too (from Canada) and tracking still has it in limbo between having left canada and not having arrived in England yet. It'll be interesting to see how quickly applications are processed this year

When you think about it, it is really only the same as a Canadian moving between provinces or an American moving between US states.
For those people who are currently in Canada and have been for some time on a long stay travel insurance policy, how have you gone about renewing it for another year?

Do I need an offer of employment letter?
What do I write under 'Details of Intended Work in Canada' on the 'Application for Work Permit Made Outside of Canada' form?
My potential employer will only discuss employment opportunities once I obtain my visa.

Hi
1. No. You are applying for an open work permit, allows you to work almost anywhere, except health services;child care;primary or secondary education
2. Put unknown.
