U can also be self sposonred but u have to explain why you want to blow all your life savings on one course???

the account must have enough turnover and current balaance to show you can easily afford to bear all the related expenses

bank statements and any other documents to show financial muscle

i just got a one year student visa last week from the british diplomatuc post in my country and i paid only a deposit fee of 500 pounds to city university to comfirm my place.
a friend got 18 months just last week as well.

as per the approval letter do not have a heart attack. my name was wrongly spelt on the approval letter as well what i did was to send an email to the caseworker that signed the letter. firstname.lastname@ind.homeoffice.gsi.gov.uk quoting ur reference number and birth date. tell him/her what your co...

there is enough infor on nigerians aplying for EC on this forum.
you can pm me after checking that link up.

I think i have to agree with kayalami, something dosent add up and the caseworker may have made a decision on a balance of probabilities. I know very well applications are refused if some claims made do not add up.. we may not know for sure in your case But I will advise you to review your applicati...

same packaging and no damage as well

i dint attach it and got approved
i dont think its necesary for hsmp approval
its more relevant at EC stage

funmi,
how long did it take??

time factor,
how does a cover letter look like.. i mean what's the format

I have a feeling here that you are misguiding all people here. I can't believe that you had given your correct birth certificate and you were not given 5 points also. Guys, be aware. Have you come across any such case when no points were given to the applicant? yes i have come across 0 points twice...

Also, which form to be completed. Thank you. GoldenHeart congrats please check this link out http:/...

Is there any harm in calling HSMP team frequently and asking for status?
I mean once or twice in a week.

Regards
SK

once in 2 weeks is ok

rohit11,
it wont be accepted , you have to find a way around it

u mean without even conducting interviews? definitely not without interviews... we all know that recruitment isnt based only on choosing someone with the skill set... other factors come into play depending on the industry and corporate culture but they should give more hsmp visa holders a chance at...

this situation u have described is general in all countries of the world.. life isnt generally a bed of roses. there will always be challenges.

I have read your post and all the other ones you have written on this same subject. I thought you originally said that the BHC had an idea some of your documents were perhaps not genuine and that is why they refused you, and thus gave you zero points for all categories? Is there much point having a...

Hi yodiyokun, You have mentioned it takes 3 weeks time for applications within UK ? is it evident for all the applications ? Most people i know that applied in june/ july this month got their decision within 4 weeks (both in and out of country applicants) so i guess the processing is getting faster
