Hi everyone, does anyone know if there is any way to track the backcheck process to see if any have not responded yet? Also do we get confirmation once it is completed? Thanks!

Hey guys!

So Procius are taking care of my references and I was just wondering how common it is for them to ask for a 5 year employment history letter from HMRC?? My friend has been asked for one but I'm panicking as 2 of my referenced jobs were cash in hand (3 months each in different years) and I'm struggling to think of ways to prove them..

I've not got any gaps in my 5 year timeline and my bosses are happy to give a reference.

Any thoughts?


Thank you! x

You can just call Backcheck and ask them what they have received and have not. I called them yesterday and they said they are waiting on 1 reference then it has to go through quality check.

Anyone know how long it takes to go through quality check - is it a few weeks or less than that?

Does everyone have to apply for this HMRC letter thing for all past work?

NO.. its only if you have breaks in your employment that you can not prove where you, and so this is a way of doing it.

Hello,
Can anyone give me any help on completing a Spanish Criminal Record Check? I am unsure on how to pay the fee etc.

Hi Guys

I am in the process of joining BA - Just waiting on my Dubai crim check - does anybody know how long it roughly takes? I have been told it is up to 12 weeks!

Hi Amy

I had to do this as well. Do you still have contacts that live there? I did it myself rather than sending it through the embassy, as its quicker to get someone to hand it in for you. Were you ex Emirates crew? I got friends to pick it up on their flight and hand it in on my behalf, then another friend picked it up and brought it with her on a Heathrow flight. It made it a lot quicker as once they hand it in it was only a couple of days until they could pick it up. But still the security process overall takes so long I'm still waiting since October.

Hey Chloe, i am ex emirates too and thinking of doing the check myself as one of my friends has an LHR flight so can take it back with her. Just wondering what did you send back just the fingerprints etc that the embassy ask for? Or did you fill out the actual form and send that? I really cant cope with it taking 6-12 weeks!
