I am in a similar situation i.e.- approval letter dated beyond 07-Nov. I tend to agree with Administrator and hope BIA interprets the judgment in the same way :!:. Also, IMHO, as long as the approval letter states that the application was assessed against 65 qualifying points (under new rules it cha...

It seems that the HO has done away with the provision of "switching" to a dependent visa without having to leave UK for anyone thinking of switching to a dependent of a Tier 1 applicant / visa holder !! Only those who are in UK in a "dependent" category will be able to extend the...

10-15% Hilke is normal in any IT Job. Even if you perform just below average or hardly meet your targets. So 25-35% at least, not a big deal at all... That's very true for India, with some companies offering 15-20 percent hike even to non-performers in an effort to retain their labor pool. But this...

If it's in the financial services sector it's a little on the low side. But in any other industrysector that would be a very good rate! What's the going rate for financial services sector??

Hi, Someone known to me has been offered a contract job for three months @ GBP 400 per day. The guy has about 11 years of experience in IT services management (not into software at all). Just wanted to get some idea if this rate is bad / good / excellent .. as neither he or I I have any clue of how ...

Other than immovable assets (property) and employment/income from employment, what other things can be used to prove that a person will return to his country after expiry of his leave to enter / visa.

Some conditions: 1. There's no significant gap (1 month or more) between you quitting your job in 2001 and arriving in UK. 2.

Hi, First Step: Apply for HSMP approval. Fee expected to be GBP 400 from April 2007 onwards. And there's no refund even if it is rejected ! Second Step: Upon HSMP approval, apply for HSMP visa (if one is within UK already) or Entry Clearance (if you reside outside UK) within 6 months of the issue da...

If you can score required points based on earnings from your main job, there's no need to mention your earnings from the other. But do note that if you don't score enough points from one job earnings, then you'll need to include the earnings from second job - and you must provide necessary documenta...

Sit back and relax !

Santosh, 1. Do you have someone in India or UK who can sponsor you financially ?? If not, this could be trouble !! 2. Do you have someone in UK who could provide you with accommodation ? If not, try any of the online hotel booking sites and book acco. for 2 weeks. That's enough for EC purposes. Book...

NARIC responds back to your application between 5-15 working days of receiving necessary documents and payment. Delivery to your doorstep is another story altogether.

I read somewhere that I have to submit the notarized copies of my spouse passport as well as my passport. Need to confirm this. Thanks for the reply. Wrong information. You DO NOT need to submit notarized copy of your spouse's passport for any reason whatsoever during the HSMP application (you as t...

As far as I know, reference checks at EC stage are done ONLY if the ECO suspects the authenticity of claims / supporting documentation. I have been travelling to UK since a decade on personal / business trips but never had this sort of reference check done on any of my EC applications. I had applied...

Why do you need to furnish passport details when applying for HSMP ?? For age ??

Anyways, it doesn't matter if your passport doesn't have your spouse's name !!

freebirds,

Adding to my earlier post, in my case I had provided the tenancy agreement of my co-sponsor in UK, and a letter from the housing society to confirm that I could stay with the tenant.

That's an increase of 65 quids for HSMP, bringing it up to GBP 400. FLR is going up by 15 quids to GBP 350 !!

Not 100% sure but I don't think you need to travel back to your country to apply for a "HSMP dependent" visa. I think you can do it within UK using the FLR(O) form. No, you don't necessarily need to have your spouse's name in your passport or vice versa. In addition to the marriage certifi...
