I have UK work experience. But i don't have the NI number since i was on deputation and my company did not give the NI number even on request.
But i have the P60 form, so could i use this as a proof of working in UK. However i could still produce my bank statements as proof. Only thing is NI number alone can't be produced, so could i still go ahead with HSMP processing with P60 and bank statements as UK employment proof??
Pls Pls help me..
Thanks,
Raj

Yes, definitely you can proceed without NI also.
I got Tier1 6 months ago, with only P60, bank statements, salary slips etc (for my stay and work here on a Work Permit).
Then last month I got a job here and then 2 weeks ago got my NI.
So as my case goes NI is not a prerequisite and your UK earnings can be proved by the other 3 things as well.

Status now.
Guess they change it at the end of the business hour every day.
Don't know what it is going to be.

Congrats.. People from blr applied on or after 20th March 2009 any update on status? One question that i have is,status enquiry that you do from these phone numbers, is it any different from the one that you do from vfs website. until now i've been trying to track the status from the vfs website itself.
