Under the new guidelines, you can attach bank statements only when you are seeking "exceptional circumstances" e.g.- not attaching IT returns !! If one can get enough points with their "net" salary itself, I see no harm in attaching bank statements (under exceptional circumstance...
Send only those documents that clearly and precisely support your application. Sending additional and irrelevant documents will just give an excuse to the caseworker to bring out mistakes in your application / supporting documentation !! e.g. - what's the use of an offer letter, where the salary st...

The command paper on Managed migration mentioned the very changes to HSMP that have infact now been introduced since 07-Nov.

And I am also conscious of the possibility that if I apply for EC too soon and get a 1 yr visa only, I'll not be a...
Emre, Don't even think about it :shock: :shock: Reserving my comments on the organizational ability to pick out fakes from originals, the important thing to note is that the Home Office decides whether you are eligible to enter UK temporarily or permanently. So don't try something stupid that is sur...
Today, I finally received by documents back with the "priceless" letter of approval from the UK Home Office. The letter is dated 16-Nov-06. Surprisingly, the HO office returned the documents in the folder :D . I had thought they will tear up the documents from the file and what I'll probab...

Unfortunately, this person cannot qualify for extension as it is, since there is no scoring criteria for work experience anymore.

Siva12345, One needs to inform HO in advance that you have arranged for courier services. As per the guidance notes, I had faxed a letter to HO mentioning this request 1 week after sending in my application (around 25th Oct) . When I called HO a couple of days later, they confirmed that my request h...

Yes - If you are in UK on a dependent visa, then you'll need to return to your home country to apply for EC (entry clearance) on basis of HSMP. regards Hi, I was wondering do I have to go overseas to apply LTR for HSMP after getting the approval letter as I am holding a dependent visa. Please help m...
If the current address in the HSMP form is one outside UK - in that case HO neither couriers the documents, nor does it send the documents by registered post. There is no way of tracing the progress. All such documents are sent by "normal airmail". Only UK deliveries are sent by registered...
