Edit: I'm guessing that the standard service for the police cirtificate is cutting it a bit fine if the application door opens any day now?

You don't need a police cert until it opens - a lot of people are waiting to get theirs and then will apply for the express service.

HTH.

Hi all,

Still nothing I see, I have been checking a few times a day but never bother on weekends as I assume they don't work on weekends.

Did anyone manage to confirm whether the 72 hour advanced notice rumour was true, or whether it'll be a case of what happened with croatia for the UK?

I'm holding out for the optimistic thoughts.

If they are holders of non visa requiring passports they can accompany but cannot work or study. They usually accompany the IEC LOI holder and get issued visitor records at the Port of Entry. The children can attend school.
Normally very few families do it this way as its hard for the other family member to get a work permit. Most IEC applicants are single due to the age restrictions.
Supporting a family on just one wage can be very hard.

Yes I totally understand majority of people do it alone, but we may as well give this a shot seen as LMIAs are hard to come by these days. My partners occupation is classed as semi skilled and we believe his wage will support us.

Only other thing is to whether myself and the children should be mentioned on his IEC app at all?
