I am not sure but if your company is UK based and you are going out of country for a long period then that period "will be" counted towards ILR.

In other words in-country.

If you can show that you visit to India was business\work related

People do not realise before saying something.

To the original poster : Do you know how much £1500 is ?

£1500 is more than average take home in UK. Nothing demeaning here. But just giving an idea of GBP to the people who are less exposed to UK economy and stuff.

hi all, why is that many indians have to leave UK after the new HSMP rules.

Diploma in engineering in India is generally after class 10th not 12th as you mentioned and hence may not qualify for degree equivalence. I think going to NARIC is a wise option but i very much doubt it.

mine says 260XXXXXXX. is yours 10 digit ref no.

Minny, I think yours is FLR ref no and 6 digit ref no. is for HSMP approval. Even I got 6 digit ref no. for my HSMP application.

Your post suggests that yours is ILR

Any Idea how much does it cost for courier collection and delivery within UK, through MBE

Can we collect it in person, if its cheaper.

I have a feeling that in country applications may get processed quicker than others as case workers have first hand knowledge of evidences provided. Where as out of country application's evidences may take time...
