Hi Enable, I do understand that you are applying for EC on basis of HSMP. Anyways, given your circumstances, it seems that you will have to ask one of your friends to sponsor you "financially". For this, you will need a letter from your friend confirming his intention to: a) accommodate yo...

Hi Vishal, You seem to be in a real hurry .... expecting an answer in less than 4 hours of posting your query :lol: Fax the urgent treatment form and the job offer (which should ideally mention your date of joining). If you don't have one, ask your potential employer to issue one to you. regards

Suggest you get a letter of comparability from NARIC regarding equivalence of your diploma to British graduate degree. Though you have stated 10+4 diploma, it essentially means you entered the programme immediately after secondary school exams (10th grade) rather than after senior secondary exams (1...

Did your reference letter(s) include detailed description of your job / responsibilities? Without that detail in the reference letter, it is difficult to get points.

Hi Enable, In that case, payslips are a problem. But no worries, you can submit the other 2 evidences. With personal experience I can say that it should work as I have been issued Visitors visa in the past even when I was not employed (twice infact !!) and therefore I did not submit any payslips.
