Post ur thoughts...on this please

I just got to know that INTEGRA verification has been done.....

My designation in prev company was Consultant and in current company it is Member Technical.
Integra has called up my current employer and have asked if my designation is "Consultant" and my employer replied saying "no" and my designation is "Member Technical".....

I dont understand why these INTEGRA ppl ares o careless....

Will this effect my EC....I have got no clue

Venky and others , just one doubt - in the section on job offers etc - i have mentioned that my office has agreed to find place ment for me in UK branch once the visa is stamped

will they be calling up again my employers to cross question on the above ? i saw a recent post which mentioned another call to employer by bhc on the job offer

my manager is on two week vacation - no idea abt mobile connectivity for the period - if they call someone in HR about this ; no one will be able to answer on this point.

really really worried - how have others updated in this section in the ec form ? i have an email from my manager with the UK team vacancies that she sent to me in december for me to use after getting visa - can i forward this to BHC will that help :?: :?: :?: :?: :?:

:cry: :cry: :cry:

I attached print outs of some email discussions with consultants, my current employer and my previous employer.

Just chill. If they need to verify something, they'll call you or mail you. So don't worry.

Vidhya,

The case worker might call your manager about the UK job offer. They did to me.

They called my manager who is not aware of who is going onsite and asked the logistics team to help them but they (BHC) said they need the word from him and will call after 2 days.

My friend in logistics gave all the info to my manager but I dont know whether they have called him again.

I didnt even give the accomodation letter, my HR told me to write as 'company sponsored accomodation' and given the address but no prrof of letter from my end...

I am thinking of so many things now... :(

They shd. give back your original letter...At UK immigration they ask for it..
Canot belive that VFS/BHC is so careless...I read in the forum that you need to send them e mail and they will return it to you
