Thanks CoolestGuyC for posting the reply from the BHC. It's been some time now, did you submit accommodation proof after all? If you did, what type of proof was it? A invitation letter from a friend?

I asked vfs and was told by one person that it's compulsory and another that it is optional!

Re: HSMP letter Holder : which documents required for EC now

1. as the VFS9 and appendixA form suggest that , if one has HSMP letter then , we need to skip section for Attributes and Eng lan. requirement. Now does it mean that I also do not need to provide documents related to it? anyway I am going to provide original HSMP letter with the application. What o...

See 1.3 - Validity of entry clearance and leave to enter Thanks sushdmehta. According to that, an intended travel date of up to 3 months at the time of EC application is allowed. That pretty much matches the 89 days that I was told by the VAC. I'm not sure about the following part though. 'For appl...

Thank you T90! Just to confirm, that's 3 years from the intended travel date stated when applying for EC? I was told by the visa application centre that that can be 89 days from the date of EC application.

The topic must've been brought up before but I just can't seem to find anything on it....

Enter within 6 months?

I have received some rather disturbing and contradicting responses from the UK Border and Immigration Agency and my local VFS centre, which handles the processing of UK visas. The HSMP approval letter is valid for 6 months and states that it must be used to apply for a UK visa within that period. Mu...

Yes, it is but you would have to meet certain requirements yourself. You'd also have to provide documentation concerning the sponsor and evidence that the two of you are related.
