For those of you that bought this 8 day decision story... This is just to let you know how impossible it is. Before a settlement visa is passed to a case worker, some verifications are done. Now, what to verify depends on the application and the documents provided but the one verification that is inevitable is the CRIMINAL RECORD CHECK on the sponsor. This is called CRB in the UK and it takes at least 2 weeks before they get a response. If you remember in the application, towards the end where they asked questions regarding criminal records, terror group etc... this check certifies whether information provided there is true or not and UK does not joke with this. This is why non-settlement is quicker because verification is only initiated if there are suspicions on documents provided and all verifications are local based (i.e., nigeria). Now tell me how someone got a decission for non-settlement within 8 days ![]() ![]() |

justwise: police handheld searches targeted register depending on the information they want e.g., absconders register, young offenders, wanted etc. And they do so directly because they have the right to. home office (visa section) has to apply for such information and CRB is a comprehensive check. i case my rest. ![]() |

johnwray: So the police has the right to do that and the embassy who has the important task to decide who comes into the country doesn't? An enhance CRB is only done when one applies to work with vulnerable people otherwise standard CRB is carried out which is what the embassies does and these records are held in a central database accessible by authorized govt agencies which i strongly believed that the immigration is one of them. These checks does not take days anymore rather within minutes your records will appear in front of ECO and the decision will be made in your application. |

word of advise... only the police force has direct right to those info. any other govt agency applies through the force. HO Visa section doesn't even have the right to request for your tax records directly. while they have your consent to request this, they can only apply through the force and this is only in cases where they suspect fraud. enough said, I worked in the ......... office last year through an agency. the info i have just given u is FACT. only the force has direct right to those info. other govt office needs court approval or go through the force. |

If you have ever worked with any immigration agent(which i doubt) then that must be more than 10yrs ago because you arguments here shows that. The argument here is not whether immigration has direct or indirect access to your crime-record..NO, rather its about how fast they can get hold of your record and make decision on your visa application. It does not take ages any more, they can pull out your records within minutes. |
