the Original Letter from Home Office conferring your leave..

According to the new HSMP guidance,

"the Original Letter from Home Office conferring your leave to remain as a student in UK" is a must if claiming 5 points of UK experience.

Does anybody here know about this letter? I applied student visa in Beijing in 2002 and collect the passport back from the embassy, there was not such a letter?

in that case you need to show the notarised copy of your student visa pages and state it as an exceptional case.

I am really confused about this "compelling reason" as the HO stated it should be cases like war or natural disaster.

I will have nothing to say if HO insisted that anyone would have received such a letter.... Did you guys received that?

for me, i just said 'moved places several times since then, therefore couldn't locate it'. No problem with it. as long as you provide your certificate and notarised visa pages..

Playpig,

I mentioned the same justification for my application and it was accepted so I guess it'll work for you too.
