Did you include NARIC letter of comparability in your HSMP application ? If yes, did you include it along with the EC application ? For all you know it could just be a typo error on ECO part. Because under the new scoring criteria there's no provision for 25 marks for qualifications. Suggest you sen...

My opinion: Original wage slips - acceptable. If on plain paper, get them signed and stamped from your HR department. Designation of signatory is helpful. Bank statements to support that - acceptable as long as they mention your employer name against salary credits. Current employement offer letter ...
Take out time to search the forum. This sort of question(s) is answered many times. Read the application guidelines. You'll know what all documents you need to submit. Don't assume that alternatives will work because you "think" they will. It's your future buddy, you'll need to do some groundwork :w...
Hi can some one please confirm as to what all Originals would be retained or taken by the VFS office and what all in copies .... Many have stated the list of documents provided , but they have not mentioned clearly as to which documents will be taken as copy and in how many number ..... Some one pl...
AkashS, One suggestion regarding the HSMP documentation would be that you attach every single document you submitted for your HSMP application. DO NOT miss out anything. In my case, I had attached the entire file-folder "as is" with my EC application as I had sumbitted for HSMP approval :). regards
When you apply for PR using the SET(XYZ) form(s) as and when the time comes, you'll still need to show evidence of earnings and accommodation. But yes, you will not need to meet the HSMP criteria of scoring 75 points !! But and more importantly, make sure you get your initial FLR(HSMP) stamped at su...
Couldn't understand what you are trying to ask :( ! Can you rephrase or be more clear ? From what liitle I understood, let me reply .. If X is the time duration you spend in UK on WP and Y is the time duration you need to spend on HSMP (main). In this case, 1) as long as Y immediately follows X (if ...
In my opinion, evidence that you have arranged for accommodation (even if it for just 1-2 weeks at the time of arrival in UK) goes a long way in getting a positive outcome. You could get a letter from a friend / relative / acquaintance stating they are ready to / will be accommodating you on your ar...
Yes, it is true that you will not be allowed to switch from "HSMP Dependent" to "HSMP main" within the UK. You'll need to return to your home country and apply for an EC at such time. Also, the time you spend as HSMP Dependent is not counted towards ILR. So when you return to UK after an EC on basis...
Nope .... ! I applied for the visa day before yesterday (26-Feb) and I have already received my passport back today morning with a 2 year visa. No interview and no medical test !! VFS counsellors are advised to inform the applicants that the process could take as long as 15 working days, and that th...
Good news is that I received my passport back today - with a 2 year visa! It took less than 48 hours to get it back in my hands so I am pretty happy about that !! The bad news is that I had requested for the visa to be effective mid-April. I had clearly mentioned this in the cover letter and moreove...
Rajeev, From India you'll need to apply for EC using the form VAF1. The applications have to be submitted to VFS nearest to your residence. You can view details on the VFS website www.vfs-uk.co.in View this http://www.immigrationboards.com/viewtopic.php?t=12790 for more details regarding EC from Ind...
Submitted by EC application today at VFS office in Bangalore. The lady wanted to re-arrange my entire HSMP pack which I refused to let her do as I had provided the cover letters, explanations of documentary evidence attached and the original documents in a set format. Were she to change the sequence...
Well, the HSMP documentation is the same as I had submitted for HSMP approval. In fact, I am going to submit the entire folder as it is - with the cover letter, explanations etc. etc. As for the EC and Co-sponsor documentation, it's actually based on my past experiences. This is what I have always p...
Had received HSMP approval in November 2006. Aiming to apply for EC next week (from Bangalore (India)). Here's what I will be submitting: 1. Cover letter requesting for a post dated EC (effective 15-Apr onwards). EC documentation: 1. Duly filled and signed VAF1 application form. 2. Demand draft for ...
You can now enter UK anytime while your EC is valid and there's no time restriction to it. But bear in mind that: 1. Unless you confident of landing a job as soon as you arrive in UK, it's best you travel as soon as you can and start looking for jobs. 2. Your ILR counter starts only when you enter U...
