Question about Police Check?

[Diya234]

I am from India but I went to UK for 1.5 years. I already have my Indian police check but the UK one is taking forever.

I applied last month but I still haven't heard anything back.

So my question is, should I still submit my application with letter of explanation mentioning this delay, or should I wait even more until I receive my UK police clearance before submitting?

I considered the same thing last year when it was taking forever to get a pcc from Dubai. Decided to wait. I recommend you do likewise. This issue was discussed elsewhere recently, where this was written:

HI
Appreciate if anyone could answer

Can I apply for spousal PR ( inland ) without PCC ? PCC from India is taking approx 6 weeks and I was thinking of sending the application without it and then upload PCC onto portal once I have it.

I applied for inland in Feb 2023 without the police certificate ,my application got returned because I didn't have my police certificate. I wouldn't waste my time applying for it unless you have everything..I applied in Feb 5 and my application got returned in Mar 14..it took me 3 weeks to get the police clearance.
