Hi I’m currently in the Uk getting my paperwork for my non o visa as the parent of my daughter who has an ed visa. Can I check to see whether it is now necessary to have the police check done? Not that I have anything to hide it’s just another added cost as I have to pay to get it done quickly? I shall heading to the London embassy beginning of January?

Thank you and merry Christmas

do not confuse a Non-immigrant Type O visa with a Non-Immigrant Type O-A visa <-note the A after the O). They are completely different visas and work differently.

The O-A visa requires the police back ground check and the medical certificate'

Brilliant I’m not sure what I was looking at, but I’ve never had to do this before.
