I'd appreciate some advise please. A close friend has Indefinite Leave to Remain in the UK and sponsored the spouse for a spousal visa. The visa was refused for only one reason: All the documents required to ascertain financial status were not submitted. They didn't know about the other documents th...

Thanks all,
Based on how things evolved, it seems the FLR team waited for the HSMP result.
HSMP has been approved and FLR granted.

Essential: Book hotel before applying for EC and include evidence of hotel reservation in your EC application.

No need to buy flight ticket before EC.

Hi tundefaboye, Employer's letter simply showing gross income is not likely to be adequate. Your employer should state the exact amount earned between Sept 2005 and Aug 2006 (for example). You might want to argue that this would add up to your gross income but from observations, that is how exployer...

Yes you can. The card holder filling and signing the payment section is the only requirement.

Some people have used it successfully.

Hi, first of all student dependant cannot apply for HSMP in U.K. She has to aplly from India only. But a student can change stauts in U.K. Are you sure about this? I would think the lady can apply from the UK but after getting her approval, she would need to return to India for Entry Clearance. I t...

They decide what they want to verify and do so.

The waiting period is sometimes horrendous but keep cool!

According to the guidelines, Work Experience is independent of Degree.

So, provided the Work Experience is graduate level, the lack of a degree is irrelevant.

You'll be okay.

Hello all forum members, Please give me advice in this situation. A few days ago I received my HSMP refusal. They didn’t give me points for past earning because as they said not enough evidence. As I know 2 form of evidence need for past earning. And the best one is tax return. I live in a country ...

Query 1: There shouldn't be any problem. Simply provide all your evidences. Query 2: There is also no problem with this. In your cover letter, simply state the period which the tax year of your country covers. By now, you should be in possession of the tax certificate for year 2004. That should show...

Yes, definitely. Simply provide employers' references in respect of the periods.

Coolraju,
You can combine the earnings.
Simply supply evidence in support of each of the earnings individually and show tax returns in support of both.

Be sure your documents are in line with HSMP requirements and that you submit originals as evidences. Note that Work Experience references have to contain certain specified information like beginning and end dates of each job title. If the first set you submitted did not meet the HSMP format, then g...

Simply re-apply and be careful to observe the guidelines to the letter.

All the best.

I tend to agree that the agency is 'strange' - it put together an application that was scored zero. I expect any agency worth its salt to be sure of what it submits. However, many agencies seem not to really be up to the task. You can make a fresh application but with that same agency? BTW, what do ...

Thanks John,
Will explore that option.

Congrats alexkutty, that's very encouraging!

Thanks MWazir.

Please advise: A friend in the UK is yet to get a response to his HSMP application and the current visa is due to expire in a few days. He does not qualify for FLR without HSMP approval. Has already sent an Urgent Request Form but no response yet. Can he make an application for FLR before the HSMP i...

Notarised copy: A photocopy of a document that is attested to by a Notary Public as authentic. The Notary Public would have sighted the original before validating the copy. How to get notarised copy: Seek out a 'Notary Public' in your environment. Ask lawyers around you. All the documents you send h...

rkc,
You have absolutely *nothing* to worry about.
You submitted one valid evidence and that is what will be considered. The other evidence will simply be disregarded.

Your quote would apply if the only evidence you supplied was the photocopy of your licence.

I agree with Narulade.
Attach all the evidences for the merger/change of name and claim the points for the salary with relevant evidences. There should be no problem.

Do a search for 'Entry Clearance' or EC on this board and you'll get comprehensive information.

Essentially, two important issues to be addressed: Funding and Accommodation.

Yes, the HSMP team uses it. It's mentioned in the guidelines in the section for people who are applying as self-employed in the UK.

Cool

Madmax, The letter actually explains what points are awarded for every section, against the ones you claimed, and also provides explanation if there are differences. So do not worry about that ... Regards, Hany Mine wasn't like that. Simply said I qualified and that to qualify, one needs to have sc...
