You should return the UK before the visa expires and make that your start date of your HSMP. There is consideration for absences related to pregnancy so I'd try to minimize your time away as you aren't the one who is pregnant Thanks for the repsonse. We are currently already in the UK on the HSMP v...

Hi All, NOTE: I accidently posted this in the general immigration forum. Sorry for the cross post, but it is related to HSMP so I am re-posting here to get replies. Earlier this year, I finally got my HSMP visa approved. Soon after, my wife fell pregnant, and after much discussion, we have decided t...

I submitted as much info as possible. I submitted basically everything that was required for Salaried Employee, Independent Contractor and the requirements for Self Employed. I think as long as it is relevant (and you don't believe it will hinder your application....as you said about your unsigned c...

I think that you'll find you are able to work in the U.K. Ireland is not part of the U.K. Northern Ireland is, but Ireland isn't. So you should be able to work in Scotland, Northern Ireland, Wales and England....but not Ireland.

I hope this makes sense.

Thanks,
Chris

Hi hsmp28122006 The reason I am sending all those documents is becuase the Entry Clearance doesn't actually state what we need to send in - "make sure you have provided all relevant orignial supporting documentation, including your passport. Details can be on our our info leafelets..." So...

Hi mate,

I would think that you would be better off getting them signed and stamped. Better to be safe than sorry. If the slips say they are generated and don't need to be stamped, I would think that it is still OK to sign them even if they didn't need it.

Good luck,
Chris

Hi, Can anyone answer what needs to be filled out for Q28 and Q31 of the HSMP Application? Q28 asks about relevant country code from the guidance notes. Do I put "United Kingdom" or "A" here? I can't see any country codes specified in the guidance notes other than the full countr...

Hi all, Just to let you know my progress on this one. I called my accountant to get them to certify that as a director of a limited company, I have to submit a self assessment return and don't have a P60 or P45. I was told...."Oh, you do have a P60. It is right here. Shall I send it to you?&quo...

Hi, Funnily enough, I was just looking at the following when I saw your post; <http://www.theskillsite.com/uk-immigration/hsmp-skilled-immigration/hsmp-covering-letter.htm> *********** <BEWARE> *************** I am only posting this as a point of reference. It seems to be a letter covering the previ...

Hi All, I am about to apply for my HSMP application as soon as my business bank account statements and UK Naric letter arrive. My one remaining issue is what to supply for a tax return. As I work as a self employed contractor through my own limited company, all I have is a self assessment tax return...

I called the British High Commision in Canberra last night, and confirmed that I can apply for HSMP Approval here in the UK, and then apply for entry clearance from Australia when I get home. I can also do this via the post....there is no need to travel to Canberra. Also, the processing time in Aust...

Am I just dreaming thinking that I could apply for HSMP and FLR before Feb 26 (I already know the answer to this....I am merely looking for confirmation) :( Sorry for replying to my own post, but can anyone confirm if it is actually OK to get HSMP approval whilst in the UK and then apply for leave ...

Yeah....I have been there before...but it is a hell of a long way to go from Perth

Am I just dreaming thinking that I could apply for HSMP and FLR before Feb 26 (I already know the answer to this....I am merely looking for confirmation)

Are you talking about PEO at Croydon. I dont think they handle FLR - HSMP. Bugger! I just re-read the FLR guidelines and saw that I can't apply in person. Shockboy, did you have any luck when you phoned them? I guess we are going to have to apply when we are in Australia. Can this be done in any ca...

I'd love to hear what you find out mate. We are heading home to Oz for 6 weeks in March. I'd really like to have all this visa stuff sorted out before then. In the meantime...I'll just keep my fingers crossed

Hi, Has anyone ever gone in person (or tried to arrange to possibly do this)? I am also leaving this all quite late. I am about to submit my HSMP application later this week with a view to getting it back in early Feb. Our visa is up in March and we plan to go up to London to apply in person. What d...

yep - you sure do can you state exactly what it says for the initial HSMP application re: age? i'm too lazy to look :) 27 or under - 20 points 28 or 29 - 10 points 30 or 31 - 5 points 32 and over - 0 points And yes ukboy...I now realise that what you are saying could very well be correct...but what...

it really couldnt be much clearer, for HSMP renewal anyway: 29 and under: 20 points 30 or 31: 10 points 32 or 33: 5 points Oh crap. Sorry. I was looking at the HSMP application guidelines. Not the HSMP renewal ones. Gee, I didn't even realise you have to go through some points based system for leav...

What should be done in this case for self employed/independent contractors? All I have is a self assessment return (which isn't acceptable) but doesn't cover the period I am claiming for either? I am following someone else's advice and posting my original company bank statements along with my origin...

I think you are right miki. I think if you are 30 or 31 years old, then you can claim 5 points.
