Usually it is easier to claim points for specialist skills if you have a academic certification (read degree / qualification) as a result of specialist study through research or coursework in a specific field. I think voational or professional certifications are perhaps difficult to prove as "s...
Don't think there a minimum requirement specified anywhere for HSMP in particular.
Generally, 6.5 overall considered a decent score. That's good enough for university admissions in UK. Doctors require 7.0 overall to sit the PLAB exam.
Hi smiles345, Looks like you haven't read through the guidance :-( The earnings are considered against the country where the applicant has been working/residing during the 12 months prior to the application being made. It is not based on the applicant’s nationality. As you said you're 29, and in the...

Hi uk.destiny, Whether it an out-country of in-country application, the address is the same, as below:- Work Permits (UK) HSMP PO Box 3975 Sheffield S1 9BL. If you wish to send in your application through courier, you must send the application to: Immigration & Nationality Directorate, Work Perm...
Hi Vishalsunr Being spoon-fed is convenient, right ?? :lol: :lol: Did you bother reading the guidance notes ?? The review address is given on page 5 para 29 :shock: I guess, you are in a tearing hurry to send the review, so here you go - Highly Skilled Migrant Programme (HSMP) PO Box 3468 Sheffield ...
Hi Moustafa, I must appreciate your efforts to plan in advance. Most of us fail on this front !! Maybe you're aware of these already, but if you're not then the following is a good starting point to understand what caseworkers look for in the HSMP applications. I call it the "HSMP bible". ...
Hi Varionsanty, On behalf of each member of this discussion board, may I sincerely request you to NOT post your queries into each and every topic that you seem to come across. It disturbs the flow of discussion, and quite frankly, I found it quite irritating to come across the same thing over and ov...
Varionsanty You have tried to post your query in almost all the recent posts without taking consideration whether that post deals with an issue similar to your or not !! It would have been much better if you had started a new post to bring your concern to the attention of the forum members. Anyways...

If you realizze anytime after starting that you don't like the job or the money, you can always start looking again. But who knows how long it...
Hi, Bank statement(s) cannot be considered as an independent evidence of past earnings. Only if you cannot provide all payslips, can you use bankstatements for the missing payslips. As per the caseworker guidance notes - " If the applicant cannot provide all the payslips, bank statements could ...

Please note that work experience seems ...
Hi, I didn't mean that working in an organization managed / owned by someone known is not allowed as per HSMP. I said a caseworker could either "doubt" the authenticity of such a reference letter or doubt the size/scope of the organization (CMDs usually don't sign reference letters). This ...
In my opinion, the fact that your experience letter has been signed by the CEO/CMD of the organization seems out of line. If I were a caseworker, I would have doubts about the size/scope/authenticity of an organization where a CMD signs a reference letter for an employee (and that too for one who ha...
Hi Steve81, Before I answer your queries, I would like to know whether you're working in NHS in the medical field (doctors, researcher etc.) or in the non-medical field (technologist, IT, logistics etc. etc.). I ask so becuase the answers would be different, specially with respect to WP !!! Personal...
Medical jobs ?? Need only look at one place http://www.bmjcareers.com/tpl/jobsCurrent.php As for WP, employers (trusts & hospitals, as the case may be) need to apply just like any other employer. Only recently a new form for WP applications (employer applications to HO for WP) has been rolled ou...
One example - your ability to sustain yourself in UK on "currently" available funds (read your savings) while you search for jobs in UK. That's the reason evidence of "savings" are mandatory along with EC / Visa applications. ECO know that there'll definite outflow of money (expe...

As per thhe internal caseworker guidance notes - "It is important to have the job description for each post held, to make sure what the person is doing, as quite often the same job title can be used for very different duties and responsibilities". And vice versa could be true as well :? re...
