Hey there yes both me and my sponsor (wife) gave UK police certificates. She was not asked to provide an Australian one.

Wanted to share my timelines as I have just received both 309 & 100

• Applied 24th March 2021
• 26th March RFI as (no attachments attached in application)
• 8th April Medical and Police checks completed
• 27th May RFI (details on a previous conviction requested)
• 28th July 309 & 100 Granted

We did not go through an agent and did the application ourselves. It was all pretty straightforward. When we submitted and paid we thought we would have a couple of weeks to get the attachments on the application as no one seemed to get assigned a Case officer straight away. Not in our case we got a RFI for everything the next day  

Very excited but expected a good 12 months + wait so 4 months has shocked us a bit. 

Hey Dizzee. As soon as you submit the application and pay the monies it opens up a portal to submit all your documentation.

At the rate of vaccination I would expect almost everything to be getting back to normal by then.

Not sure that’s the case , whilst I’m sure it will pick up I think the rollout has been a bit of a disaster. Think I read at this rate it will be July 2022 by the time everyone is vaccinated

Looking for guidance. I was requested Police checks within 28 days deadline. That deadline is up on Wednesday and I still have not received the police certificate, the 12th working day was yesterday to which ACRO quote the timeline although they say there can be COVID delays. Do you think it would be acceptable to upload the confirmation email from ACRO to show that I have made attempt to get the information requested and then follow on the Cert when it arrives? 
 

thanks I’m advance

I got an appointment at the Knightsbridge clinic quickly - called on the Monday and my appointment was on a Thursday (I think they could have got me in even sooner). They said they generally have pretty good availability, so just give them a ring. The health check results do get uploaded automatically yes (or at least that's what happened with me - if there was an issue with them I suppose they could call you first, I'm not entirely sure).

Thanks for this it’s really helpful. I have printed out my referral letter and was going to call the Knightsbridge medical place tomorrow morning at 9. I’m pretty flexible to go whenever so would be nice if I could get it in before the Easter weekend. 

I need to book a health check in London. Does anyone know the availability of appointments. Assuming there is a quick turnaround to get the appointment as I have 28 days to get this done? Also does the Health check automatically get applied to your application?
