amhilde, I had a IT contract which ended (after 3 extensions of 4 months each which helped me to get the 3 year HSMP extension) and have been looking for a opening for a couple of months now. BTW i am a DBA admin. Maybe my views about Asians/ UK / Jobs is contrived of the fact that I have yet to get ...

Guys I am in a similar situation
When you get in front of these people for interviews , being an Asian I think will be a disadvantage. I am in Uk for the past 4 months without a job and am running short on my cash reserves. So am planning to go back to my country in a few weeks time.

Hi all,

What bank balance do you need to have for EC from India. I am applying for dependent visa for my wife.

Thanks all,
Cheers,

I had 2 months before expiry. I guess you could do the same. I have read a few posts here where they have returned passports of people applied too early (2.5 months). So did not want to take a chance there.
All the best.

cheers,

Tech,

I sent it by Royal mail 'Special Delivery' and the HO sent it back by recorded delivery.

Cheers,

Sorry for the confusion, This is exactly what it says. I think it is a standard letter that everyone gets on FLR approval.

Cheers,

rckybhardwaj : Yes I got that letter.

Papafaith: NO, This is for the FLR(IED) HSMP extension for 3 years, The time frames for approval are now about 1 to 2 weeks from what I have read from a few posts here.

Cheers,
