So many reference numbers - which is which?

Post by CullenD » Thu May 21, 2009 10:19 am

Ok crew,

So its time to submit my application for Tier One Extension. I currently have a HSMP.

On my HSMP Entrance Clearance visa in my passport, there is a:
- Big Red number in the top right hand corner
- A smaller VAF number just below that

On my initial Home Office approval letter from 2 years ago, there is a:
- 'Our reference' number
- and also a space for 'Your Reference', but no number beside it

So, my questions are this, on the application form, which goes where for:

B10: Home Office Reference Number(s)

B11: Give details of any current or previous worker reference numbers(s) under work permit arrangements (if applicable)

D4: Please enter the reference number on the entry clearance or visa which can be found on the applicants passport or travel documentation

Any advice would be much appreciated

Thanks in advance
Dave

B10: not sure

B11: Doesn't apply to you as you hold a HSMP. Leave Blank

D4: The red number in the top right hand corner of your EC.

Hope that helps

:)

I have recently got extension. You generally receive letter from HO along with your Visa. You can use reference no. mentioned on your work permit "letter". In my case,I didn't had letter with me so I use the number printed on "top right hand corner" of the visa stamped page.
