Hi All, Integra screen verification can be done in 2 ways: 1 Self by paying the required fees. this is optional. 2. If you dont get it done yourself, BHC would get it done and the fees is already covered under Rs 18000 fess. This is mandatory i.e. if you dont get verification done yourself, BHC woul...

twisha,
well i dont agree to you, see the applications success rate at http://trackitt.com/ ive been tracking HSMP for almost 2 yrs, and these days seem to be the fastest to me. You have a good document set, i dont see any issues.

Hi,
HSMP.Workpermits@ind.homeoffice.gsi.gov.uk is the correct email address. I have got 4 replies from HSMP team from the same email address. What is the reason code of mail bounching? whats the error message that you are getting?

Yes you may skip it and with HSMP you have every right to go and then search for work rather than having job before going.

Bingo!
I must say that its a comprehensive documentation. Go ahead! Results should come within a month.

Hi,
You should tick other and then write HSMP for yourself and HSMP dependant for your dependents.

Hi Twisha, Well, I was the main applicant for HSMP and not my wife. For HSMP approval, you should send the marriage certificate which states the maiden name (Twisha Swami) and your husband Mr. Bhardwaj. In the cover letter, you SHOULD specify this and explain and few of the docs in are maiden name a...

Hi,
The same was the case with my wife when we applied for EC in April. We used here name as per passport, as you can apply as per the name in passport only (maiden name) and we got the visa. So you can safely go by this route With the employers, you can have your married name in their records.

Hi Gaurav,
This should be sufficiently perfect.

Same here,
I applied on 12th April in Delhi. Apart from form and HSMP Performa, VFS asked me to fill up the integra form and submit the photocpies of the documents for integra verification.

Go through the article http://www.workpermit.com/news/2006_03_27/uk/points_based_system_not_affect_it.htm It states " Overseas IT specialists migrating to the UK will most likely to be awarded the highest status in the UK Home Office's points-based immigration system. The points ranking system ...

Hi All, Since Entry Clearance is taking a lot of time these days after integra screen verification has started, I thought it would be worth to start a thread to post our EC timelines. Whether approved or refused and if refused why? Hope you all would kindly submit your information. EC filing date: F...

Hi,
Can someone please confirm that if i apply for EC after 1st april, do i need to give increased fees of £200 instead of £85 ? my decision has already been taken on 20/03 but the documents have been delayed. i dont know why?

Hi, I got a mail from HO that "your decision letter and documents have been sent to your representative by special delivery ZI XXXX XXX 3GB as supplied with your application. " 1. I am confused as I have not specified any representative. 2. I have heard that HO sends the docs airmail. What...

Hi,
I am probably being stupid, the form has an entry valid from. To my belief, VISA credit cards only have expiry date and not valid from. Am i correct?
