@Ron ******

are specialist cave rescue divers exempt? 😊

@Daniel *************

some are shorter than a year?

The rest (mostly) just looks like they want all the original docs?

Thanks. Good luck to the OP 👍

Yes, either Penang or Malaysia. For education yes.

@Robert ******

thanks Robert.

Ok. We’ve made several applications where it’s been non - imm b single application (with employer documents) then WP application after. Interesting.

Isn’t a non imm b single visa/valid current visa required prior to a WP application? That’s the way we’ve always had to do it. Visa first. Also, received my WP 4 days ago, no issue.

Ironically the U.K. scrutinises individuals that may have married for a visa, it seems the opposite is true in this case 😮 can you imagine a U.K. immigration officer telling your gf to marry you so she could stay in the UK longer? 🤭

thanks for the info. I’ve read about people getting FBI related checks for visa applications, that wasn’t my point. There are without doubt differences from country to country. My point was if it is a police check from your own country then it may have to be certified by your embassy then legalised by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs prior to applying for a visa. Assuming (as it is a visa forum) that’s what it’s for. Criminal checks (now) required for a work permit application (in education) don’t appear to have this requirement. At the moment.
