I spotted the change: they corrected the typo that said Sec 3C started on page 46. It still starts on page 47, as it did in the form that came out in April!

I was going to send my April-version application tomorrow morning. I'm so glad I decided to check Immigrationboards first. Thanks, guys!

Another American here. I spent about 3 years living in the UK during my postgraduate studies and really liked it there. I made several very close friendships and got involved in some voluntary work that means a lot to me. I didn't want to leave in early 2004, but my student visa was expiring and I c...

I did show one, not sure if it helped my case but I got my EC from Los Angeles last week. Do you want to see the spreadsheet sent? Send me your e-mail address by PM (private message) if so.

Hi NbtD

I received my Entry Clearance from Los Angeles last week. I showed $3500 in my checking account plus an accommodation letter (= free place to stay until I can find my own place), and my job offer (I start my job on 8 Oct, first payday is 26 Oct).

Good luck!

That sounds ridiculous. What's the source of your information?

The most up-to-date information will always be on the HSMP website, where we all must go to obtain the HSMP Guidance and forms. Is there a good reason why the contact information should be repeated on this forum, where (as you pointed out) it may become out-of-date? I'm just asking a question becaus...

Dear pantaeima, How could be 100% sure if you dont have Naric Database. The only educated guess is that my awarding institution is among top three universtities in my home country and i have seen lot of people are getting approval even lower rated universities. Is this guess will work? nsm2010 If y...

How's that?

he is using that ignore feature you spoke about. You did not give him the answer he desired, sorry.

I paid them Rs. 50K without knowing their OISC membership number and as soon as they assigned me the process consultant I asked him for the OISC membership status. Sorry to hear you're feeling ripped off. Due diligence can take some time but it is always better to spend time than lose money. I just...

am not sure what might be taking so long and if there is anything that I could do to help my case. As others have said, your case is definitely not unusual. However if you want to submit a request for Urgent Treatment to expedite the caseworker's review of your application, download the Request for...

got a REJECTION. They have sent doucments by airmail, I secifically requested for a courier pick :( Now the wait starts to know the reason for REFUSAL! cdraina, now that a decision has been made you can phone the HSMP helpline and speak with the caseworker to find out the reasons for refusal. It wa...

Your definition sounds accurate, but what did your friend say that was "different"? I'm curious now!

Just curious , why is it convenient to have a UK bank account when not in UK ? what are the advantages ? It's been convenient for me because: *Sometimes friends in the UK want me to send them something from the US, and they can pay me back by putting pounds in my bank account (on-line transfer) *I ...

You love her enough to get her pregnant and you want her to stay in the UK...but you don't love her enough to marry her? Whoa.

Keval, you have answered your own questions. If you are afraid of being sacked, don't talk to your boss about HSMP! On the other hand, if you were to discuss the topic with him by saying, "I know it costs you a fee every year for me to be on a Work Permit. What if I obtain my own HSMP visa, which wi...

I do not have friends in the UK to arrange a courier collection from HSMP and courier firms in India will only arrange this service from within the UK and not from India- More so when HSMP refuses to sign the courier papers on collection the couriers refuse altogether. There may be people in the UK...

sparo wrote:btw ...can u fax a request for review ??

The official HSMP application review request form has the fax number on it. I faxed my request for review and it was approved.

So YES.

Your case is not unusual. Have patience. You can send a request for urgent treatment (form available for download on the HSMP site within the workingintheuk.gov.uk domain) if you can't wait. If you are so worried why not apply for Urgent Treatment?!?! You act as though you have not received this ad...

For a review request of initial decision, do we need to send all the documents again? Or just the review request letter? The HO keeps a photocopy of every item that you submit with an initial application. They will use their own photocopies when you submit a request for review. You should fax only ...

Rule #1 of anything involving money or shelter: get it in writing. I hope you will never find yourself in a situation like this again. Good luck.

It is on page 19 of the Guidance! The real question is can people read?

Just to back up gordon's reply: Absolutely every single payslip for the period claimed should be sent. I had problems with my initial HSMP application because the caseworker added up the "This Period You Earned" figure from each payslip and expected the total to match what I claimed on my HSMP appli...

do you know any of the details as regards paperwork and process that are necesary to get married in the US? presumably it varies from state to state?
