Onye, I will advise you talk to your current employers to get you a work permit for now so you can have enough time tow ork on your HSMP application. As for your HSMP application, did you include a cover note explaining your application cercumstances including you tax clearance? You can send in your...
You can state clearly your reason for applying alone and promising to have your family join you there after. As for the expiration of the HSMP letter, it does not follow since your family will be appying as your dependant. All they will need then is an evidence that you have theHSMP visa and some su...
My opinion is that you can apply for the HSMP entry clearance visa (or FLR as it may apply to you) from UK as long as you have a valid residence/work permit irrespective of applying for HSMP in country or out country or when you applied.
It is not of any use including your proof of english requirement since you got your HSMP approval based on the old rules. You will definitely need it when processing your LTR in two years (that is if the rules don't change again). All you need to do now is to prove to the EC officeer that you can su...
The caseworker will assess your application based on the new criteria independent of your former application(s). A lot of people on this forum got approved at there 2nd or 3rd attempts. All the best.
You really don't have to claim points for UK experience just because you have a UK degree, it is best you ignore that part.
It is not compulsory you claim all your points as long as the points you are claiming is suffecient to get you accross the 75 points needed.
I am in the same position here as well. My reference letter states that "English Language is basically the medium used in all Nigerian universities in Communicating and teaching" Do you guys think this will scale through? uniprinciple What did your letter state as per the English reference? I hope m...
There are two basic step: Getting the HSMP approval letter and the the EC (HSMP visa). The HSMP approval letter is valid for six months from the day it was approved, hence you will have to present it to the local BHC for the EC within six months. The EC is normal supposed to be for 2 years and has n...
Markie is right,
HO will always get to know your old ref number by using your surname and date of birth, this I believe is the first step taken before entering your information into the database.
In my case, i got exactly thesame ref number as my first application.
Hadihassan, Do you know of anybody that sent his/her HSMP application to Work Permits (UK) HSMP PO.Box 3975 Sheffield S1 9BL via a courier service and has gotten a reference (atleast an aknowledgement) from HSMP? I would really like to know because I am a little worried sending the application to th...
hadihassan is right, I just came accross it now on the page 19 of the guidance note. Its a pity I sent my application two days ago to the PO.Box address using DHL. I guess this will lead to a little delay in the processing time, lets keep our fingers crossed.
Your EC is valid for 2 years hence technically,you can enter UK anytime within that period (but not advisable because the signed an undertaken to make UK your home).Note that it is always better to move to UK as early as possible because of the 5 years countdown for ILR and also getting a job on tim...
1971, Just wondering why the HSMP guys did not send some of your reference letters back. Were the references real? I feel your application taking about three months at that time might be because they wanted to confirm some of the references. So it is possible they discovered or suspected something p...
