i did not send my intial approval as it is not a must and not listed in the things to submit on the FLR(IED) form. they ask your the HSMP reference number and based on that they can verifiy the EC on your passport and all, so they do not require the original hsmp approval letter. that said, u should...

Keshav, Definitely give the Home Office a call and see if they would be able to inform you over the phone or at least send you a copy of the letter.

basically, do you want to work in Commerce (accounts), show your Bachelor' and Master's Certs. the certs ar the evidence of your qualification.

what's ACCA? seems to be some sort of accounting.javascript:emoticon(':roll:') Rolling Eyes "1) do you hold relevant qualification and/or membership to work in your choosen field (in the uk)" ANS: eg. If you are IT guy, you need IT certificates; you need to be qualified and/or be a member of the doc...

since you can show your "gross annual salary" it should be fine. lot of consultants/contractors will be in the same boat as you. tax statement for which country? some countries have different financial years. eg. i came from US where they have Jan to Dec; here in UK they have Apr to Mar. as long as ...
