1. I have HSMP approval letter with 6 months validity period.
What does 6 months indicate?
apply for EC during this or
enter in UK during this or
get a job during this period.
2. I have opened a new foreign currency account and deposited 2800 + GBP, now for three months should i maintain it as such or show some transactions?
3. or every month i should transfer monthly salary from local currency account to this account? is it required, thanks

Hi Loodk,

HSMP approval letter is just mean that you are eligible to apply for Tier1 Visa from your local post under transitional arangement. so basically apply your visa during this six month time...
2.3. i think its better to do some transaction time by time and its adviceable to transfer your existing salary into same account.

Thanks tonypetty,
I'll transfer each month my salary from local currency account to foreign currency account. However this will be done manually by withdrawing salary first, converting it in open market to GBP and then remitt in foreign currency account.
Foreign currency acc statement of three months will be attached with visa application but what sort of proof i need to show that the pounds each month are coming from my salary account?
Note that bank is not willing to convert salary automatically in GBP and submit in foreign account, i have to do it myself.

loodk

Hi Loodk,

As far as i know for applying EC under transitional arrangaement one dont need to show again any proof of income in the any period other than the period you claimed for your earning points in your hsmp application. Anyway as a proof of source of funds you can put your local curency bank statement where salary is coming with you cover letter and explain that local currency statement is for source of funds only purpose and orignal FCA St. is for mentainance proof.

Hi Tonypetty

Physical Verfication: BHC will send guys (from integra) to your office address for confirmation. I came to know about this from a reliable source....even couple of months back, a GORA is also accompnied them.

Nowadays, GORA won't be loitering around given security concerns

Why don't u check by abt ur application by contacting embassy directly? 40 days is tooo looooonggg...

I have a few questions to be answered.

1) Do i need to submit tax returns or just payslips?
2) I need to show that i have done a project free lance. Would the company invoice be enough to show this?>
3) All the docs needed to be submitted in original?
4) I maintain two accounts. 1 for my salary and 1 for my funds. Is it going to be OK?
5) Should i send the bank statement in pak rupees or they must be in GBP? Both accounts I have are of Pak rupees
6) Has any one got tier 1 visa from pakistan yet?

Does BHC accepts performance based BONUS as part of previous earnings?

Friends:

One thing more you told me that BHC accepts the bonus if it was mentioned on the salary slip. Let me explain you my case:

My company had deposited monthly salary of Aug in my bank account on 2nd sept. 2008 while performance based bonus was given to me on 23rd sept, 2008 and deposited on the same day in my bank account. In this case; should my company have to mention this bonus on my salary slip of Aug? Please note that both salary and bounus were deposited in my bank account separately. Please guide.
