raman999, I'd think that since you already are working in the UK, and you are just changing status, showing proof that you can get a job might be a little redundant. Also, the HSMP visa you got (congrats, btw) should be indicative of your qualifications/abilities, so getting a job shouldn't be an is...

Hi Well its well know fact that there is no Tax system in Saudi Arabia or United Arab Emirates etc. so no tax return or tax papers. I am sure that they know about Saudi Arabia so that they accepted my full time earnings. My friend, never underestimate ignorance or apathy! Either the caseworker who ...

Since sending the just received documents is a bit of a shot in the dark anyway, why dont you make specific note in your cover letter that you are sending these documents in the new year? That way your cover letter with the missing slips that you send in can call for particular reference to the pack...

Hey guy, I'm not in the area, but I can tell you to make sure that who ever you use is a "Sworn Translator". Your local courthouse / magistrate should have a couple of them on payroll who will be happy to do this for you for a small fee. They will stamp and sign all translations with their...

Friend, BE CAREFUL! I was to get back to the US this year on an H-1B. I had a company ready to sponsor me, and a very nice picture painted. But stuff happened that was beyond both my control and that of the company that was to hire me, and as a result, I will not be going to the US till next year. I...

I really am not too sure on how you'd show that. I personally would include: - A signed letter (on company letterhead) from your employer that says that you are working for them from Jan 2006 to date, and that Paycheck 1+2 got paid in March. I know you said its a pain to get a letter, but I'm afraid...

HSMP_2007, Assuming while you worked while in the UK and got paid a good enough wage, you _do_ have the option of pro-rating your earning rate for 12 months, since you have lived in more than 1 country. Under the new HSMP rules, you can do this per item #38 on page 25 on the HSMP Guidance. So basica...

Re: Interpretation of the HSMP guidelines

Also, if the period I was considering was a whiles back, can I leverage the better exchange rate of the time of my paycheck? Again, this can mean an extra critical 5 points. The exchange Pound rate is taken for the date of last pay slip. Thank you paramjit2k. I followed up on your discussions on th...

Interpretation of the HSMP guidelines

Hi all, I am having a bit of a dilemma. While I agree the guidelines for the NEW HSMP application are clear-cut, I sometimes find them rather retarded in regards to realistic everyday situations. Take for example the Earnings section. Says to provide original paystubs. Ok, I have _most_ of them, but...
