Hi,

HCI website says that the application fee is " £175.00 (£173+£2) for each OCI (fresh) application including minors. "

My question is - Does a family applying at the same time is considered as ONE application or each individual will be treated as seperate application?

Thanks in advance

Hi, I am also looking for the information on the following questions. Could someone throw light on it. TIA. I am planning to apply for Extension by end of next month as my HSMP visa is expiring in late August 2009. I had come to UK under HSMP in Sept 2007. I was going through the form for my self ...

I also did the same without mentioning in the cover letter and it worked. I think what they need is that it should be on companys letter head.

I recently got my birth certificate translated from Global Translators. I liked there services. Also I did not get this notarized as its not mentioned in the HSMP Guidance notes. You might need to check FLR guidance notes. Regarding name, I am not sure but I doubt if anyone will consider this to be ...

Sorry, I think I did not make my question clear. If you are currently in UK on a work permit and want to switch to HSMP, so after initial approval, do you need to send a copy of workpermit as well with HSMP approval letter.

Hi,

Do we need to send a copy of workpermit while applying for FLR (in country application)? Or visa on the passport is sufficient evidence of current status in UK?

Thanks,

Hi I have a question on the following situation. If a person is working in UK on a work permit and gets HSMP approved and passport stamped, does he need to inform his current employer that he has now got the HSMP. I am assuming that the person is continuing with the same employer for sometime while ...

Check the following site: http://www.visafrance.co.uk/reqTourist.php The applicant MUST be resident in the UK, e.g. Requires Leave To Remain in the UK as a Student, working holiday maker, work permit holder, HSMP etc... My uncle also came on a visitor visa and he could not get schengen visa. Whereas ...

As far I know, you cannot get visa for another country when you are already on a visitor visa. For example, if I am in UK on a visitor visa, I can not get visa for Schengen states. Its only possible if you are on a work permit or resident visa.

I do not think a person on UK Visitor visa can travel to any other country from UK. Did you check on the visa law for the country you are planning to take your mother to?

I have recently used Global Translators. Their service is very good. I hope this should also be accepted by Homeoffice.

I checked with my company and they say that they have agreement with UK IR which gives special exemption on the employee compensation. This is only because the company is a foreign employer.

Even I am not sure on this. My feeling is that it should not be an issue if we provide bank slips and employer letter. I think we will have to take that chance.

Hi destiniation_london

Have you applied for HSMP? Just wanted to know how did you manage the difference between P60 and Wage slips?

Thanks,

Hi Aero_london, Applyhsmp Could you please update us on the status if you have already applied? I am also in the same situation and wanted to know what should be the exceptional reason given for not having tax documentation for UK? Does HO accept the reason that company is paying the tax directly ...

Hi RG1,

Can't I claim even if I have salary slips, UK bank statements and a letter from employer? I mean this is part of my earnings for which I have all the proofs except for P60.

Thanks,

They pay fixed amount per month. I do not have NI number. Its one of the top consulting firms from India. We are partly paid in India and i have tax return for that. But I need to include the UK salary to gain the points. So not sure if HO will approve it without P60.

Hi I am on an assignment in UK and do not have P60 form as my company pays the net salary. Has anyone from UK applied for HSMP without P60, showing UK salary? If so, could you please share your experience whether it got approved or not. And what's the reason you gave for exceptional consideration ...

Hi Pantaiema Thanks for the prompt reply. I know the whole problem is not having tax information. Our company does not give us any information on the tax. So not sure how to handle this in the HSMP application. So just wanted to know if a.) I should honestly mention that I only get net salary or b ...

Hi, I am in UK on an assignment and get paid in UK and home country. However my company does not file tax in UK, and I will be considering this income for calculating the past earnings. As I do not have tax return for UK salary, will it be a good enough reason to give that my company gives the net ...

Hi Has anyone recently got their document(s) translated into English, from any regional langague, through a translator in UK? Or if any knows a register translator in UK which is recognised by Homeoffice. I checked with homeoffice and they do not provide any list. Also, checked on the net but not ...

Hi I do not have a birth certificate so i am thinking of using my indian driving license as a proof. However my license is quite old, around 10 years, and its made from a small town that time. It's a small booklet kind of license and I am not sure if homeoffice can accept it. Could you please advice ...

Hi, I have original Form 16 and ITR1 acknowlegement. But there is a small difference on the way Gross Salary is shown on both the documents. Gross Salary on Form 16 shows the total amount before any exemptions where as on the Income Tax return, it shows the Gross Salary (Actually Gross Taxable ...
