I read the guidelines and noted that I need to show a minimum balance of 533 pounds in my account for the preceding 3 months. Well this month just towards the end I ended up short by 4 p...

Thanks guys - @Pradeep - I think you will be ok - but if you are not sure apparently you can send a request to the Homeoffice to send you a copy of the data you need. It apparently takes around 40days - no good for me - but you may aswell check and see to cover all your bases. Il let you know how my...

We pay the government for something we cant claim back... it gets more apparent every passing day that the UK Government is simpply usi...

Hello Ashik,

Unfortunately - Ben has only reiterated what is already there - he clearly has not mentioned HSMP holders - only made a mention to Tier 1 holders and as nionlight and confusedhsmp have already pointed - this is the source of the problem.

At the moment Im waiting - Like some of you guys have already mentioned there has been nothing official - I think it would be crazy to apply this rule to everyone in such short notice. However its the HO and crazy ideas are not beyond them.

Hope for the best plan for the worst.

Just wanted to let you know that I succesfully got my HSMP visa despite having been served an IS151A. The lawyer who helped me was very supportive and I would be happy to recommend him to anyone who is interested,

Hi from my experience that is exactly what you will get - a letter of comparability. You will still need to produce the original certificate since when you apply for the comparability all they do is they look at the qualification that you claim you have and equate it to the existing National Qualifi...
