Police Checks
I've been waiting 30 days for my UK police checks to come back. I know 40 days is the limit but do they always push it near the limit?
The scottish checks came in last week... it's the ones from down south I'm waiting on.

That's awful.... it's bad enough waiting the first time. Were the checks requested by your CO... if so did you have to ask for an extension on the date for returning them?

Re: Police Checks
We had to ask for an extension and the CO granted it no problem, though ours was for something else. The CO's are nicer than they are made out or at least ours was brilliant.
