After getting a job in UK , what are the documents that a UK employer asks for or what are the documents one needs to submit to them? for example here in India one needs to submit photocopies of graduation certificate and marks cards , appointment and relieving docs of all old employers to the new c...
Ash: I was really not very serious about this booking coz i just wanted that document for the EC appli. So i went to booking.com and sorted by cheapest first. And in the first page i randomly selected one hotel "caswell", some GBP four hundred something for 15 days . i think it is GBP33 an...
Congratulations aK_g for getting your EC!! i donot agree with your following point :- c) I didn't attach any cover letter intentionally because in my view no one has time to go through that and case worker will prefer to get information from the EC form. because in my case i wrote a cover letter and...
one question out of curiosity :- why consider London only ? surely there must be other cities in UK which are good for IT and which must be cheaper ? can anyone throw some light on this ?
No , I didnot submit last employers exp letter or payslip since I'm with my current employer since 4 years. I just submitted current employers exp letter and latest sal increment letter.
Hi Friends, First, I would like to thank you all for making this forum a great source of information. The info I found here has helped me a lot for HSMP + EC. Recently I got my EC visa. I applied for the EC from VFS , Bangalore , India on 5th Dec 2007. I received the visa on 2 Jan 2008. The visa is ...
Hi All , While filling the EC form VAF2 , I'm not clear what the answer to "Q5.6 Have you made an application to the Home Office to remain in the UK in the last 10 years?" should be? Should I mention the recent (one and only that I have made) HSMP application details here ? Regards, wanna_...
Hi All , I will be applying for EC - HSMP soon from Bangalore, India. I have dependents: wife and 2-year old son. I plan to go to UK first , secure a job and house and then get them both to UK.

Hi All , I will be applying for EC soon from Bangalore, India. To prepare myself for the Integra screening , I need to know:- When they call our current employer , do they mention which visa we are applying for ? ie HSMP / employment ? or do they just say "uk visa" ? what do they ask ? I h...
I got a letter from my employer , but its a simple one sentence letter, NO breakup. Getting a salary breakup letter will be difficult! I read in the old caseworkers manuals about letter from employer , but there is no mention about breakup details. However it says for letter from CA there has to be ...
Hi HolaHSMP , I too have exactly the same problem , please check my posting: http://www.immigrationboards.com/viewtopic.php?t=16229 I plan to give a letter from my CA explaining the difference between the two gross salary amounts.

hsmp0804 : Should not the letter from bank have a table showing the concerned transactions/deposit entries ? I donot think a single sentence saying such-and-such is good. It should be backed up by details of the said transactions or a table showing the same. Is it neccessary to send contact details ...
SYH :- "Some banks feel there is a legal liability if you want them to say you are getting income from a source, to them that is not their function. " you are right! In my letter from bank they added at the end: - "This certificate is issued at the specific request of the customer wit...
I donot see why getting letter from bank sud b tough . If you have a salary account with them , they normally will go out of their way to please you. Also tell them clearly why you want that letter.

Hi Guys, Thanx for your responses. I spent quite some time today studying my various documents. I found out a few things. Firstly , the amount on my payslips , Form 16 and ITR are different ! This is because the meaning of "gross salary" is different for all 3. For Form 16 "gross amou...
1) I guess it should be ok as long as it is signed by a finance guy. Just make sure that you provide contact details of the finance person who has signed the letter on a different page. 2) More evidence is always better! If you plan to send those bank statements get a letter from bank stating that t...

Inspite of searching in this forum I'm not able to get a conclusive answer for my question:- There is a difference in the gross earnings amount on my ITR and my payslips (adding up all months). This is due to deductions like p...
Thanks for your reply, Wazir ! I still have a few doubts :- Can you print them out and ask your HR to attest them? NO , my HR will not work with 12 payslips , but they can give me ONE document mentioning all payments made in 12 months. ("Salary Certificate") . Is this good enough for HO ? ...
Hi All , I'm planning to apply for HSMP from Bangalore , India. I'm hoping people who have applied recently from India answer a few questions:- 1) Past earnings: you know , most Indian IT employers donot give out monthly pay slips, its online or emailed.So, can we submit a "salary certificate&q...
