Court Records IR1/CR1

[Lindsaymm88 0]

Hello,

I keep seeing 'court records' for convictions mentioned as part of the documents that should be brought to an interview.

Is this required if a conviction is listed on the ACRO police certificate or only in no live trace instances?

My partner has a conviction from about 5 years ago that was listed on her ACRO police cert. Does she need to bring anything else in relation to that incident to her interview?

Also, the ACRO police cert is from April-15 Partner and kids had medical in May-15, but these will expire in Nov. We are looking to travel in Dec/Jan, so have now booked in another medical for 19 Oct, but the ACRO is over 6 months old. Knightsbridge say that it needs to be less than 12 months old, but the embassy website indicates it needs to be less than 6 months old when you attend the medical? Which is correct?

Obviously my instinct would be with the embassy website, but if you attended a medical with a 5 month old ACRO cert, then you might not interview until it is 7 months old, so I expect that they are really saying that the ACRO needs to be less than 12 months at the interview and you need to travel within 6 months of the medical (so don't attend the mediacal with an 11 month old ACRO report)?

Apologies if this is confusing!

Thanks for any help here!

Yep it's confusing me.

Basically a UK police cert is good for 12 months for everybody, So as long as it is good at the medical and at the interview you are okay.

Portions of the medical are good for only 6 months, meaning the visa expiration will be 6months from medical date. If you need visa to be extended, you do just part of the medical again. TB clearance is the one thing I know expires.

Did I answer your question?

Oh forgot the police conviction thing. They need to see what the conviction and disposition was, other than your word. Some only say No Live Trace and nothing more, so people order a Subject Access Report which details the charge.
