Thanks for your email. The checklist is a reference tool for you and your case officer. It may notalways be accurate as it is only updated when your case officer isassessing your application. Health and character will be required however you case officer has not yetrequested it from you so we therefore recommend you wait for the formalrequest letter before proceeding. Health and character results are generally valid for 12 months from thedate of issue, the earliest expiry date determines your initial entry date,should your visa be granted. Waiting until your case officer requests will reduce the risk of you havingto obtain the documents twice due to expiry and potential lengthy delays inensuring all legal requirements are met in relation to your application.
