The consulates in the U.S. are so large and have so many people working at them, that even if we were to get a positive response about getting EC approval with the current HSMP approval, the caseworker we'd see when going back may not agree and may not give EC. We think it's not worth the risk of having a refusal for EC on our record and having my husband's student visa marked out and not being able to return to the UK.onetime wrote:oops..prev msg had typos!!
me not from US...
why don't u write to consulate in US and enquire if you can get EC based on a letter that says apply for FLR...its a bit of a subjective issue, I agree...EC officers may or may not object....but how does reapplying solve your problem unless you go out of UK?

btw, yes, you can be in the UK while an out-of-country application is being processed. but you do have to go back to your home country to get EC.
its risky applying for EC while you are out of the country, remember you will need documentation from your resident country e.g bank statements, bills. also remember that they will look thru your passport and the last immigration stamp will show that you entering the UK. what if they want to interview you?bani wrote:good luck rella!

We were planning on going to the consulate in person -- even though there is a mail option and it is going to add a ton of time and expense to travel to the consulate -- because we felt it important to explain the entire situation.f2k wrote:its risky applying for EC while you are out of the country, remember you will need documentation from your resident country e.g bank statements, bills. also remember that they will look thru your passport and the last immigration stamp will show that you entering the UK. what if they want to interview you?bani wrote:good luck rella!
