Hi all,

Thank you so much for all the useful information on this wonderful website.

My cousin is going to apply for naturalisation in the coming weeks and we have 2 questions and would be grateful if anyone can help.

-) Is it usual when requesting a SAR request from the police that they ask you for additional information, e.g. to confirm if you have been arrested in a particular year, etc.? The thing person does not remember details of an arrest or exact offence (no charge case dropped before going to court)...
Why doesn't cousing just ask for a DBS check to see what they have on the database?
If he didn't go to court and wasn't convicted there's nothing to declare as far as I know.

-) How can one find out what results of police record search done (by UKVI) part of their previous visa applications has returned?
You can't - they don't normally discuss their findings with the applicant. Which Visa did he apply for?

Thanks in advance
