Thanks for the feedback Goldfish. I was wondering what the options would be if I got a UK job but after June 08. This means I would have less than 12 months of income proof for FLR in June 09. I understand my options to continue in UK would be: - change to Work permit - or re-apply for new Tier 1 ap...
Hello, I was wondering if I could get some advice from experienced members here... Here is a summary of my status: - HSMP approved 02 Mar 2007 - EC approved 26 Jun 2007 (valid for 2 years) - First UK Entry was 18 Feb 2008 - Searching for a suitable UK job (while living outside UK now) for quite some...
Many thanks! This is very useful:) What if I m staying for just a week or less for the interview and return date to UK again not yet determined (I understand within 3 months though)... would I still have to register? I have been reading the "IMMIGRATION DIRECTORATES' INSTRUCTIONS" on HO si...
Hi, Can anyone advise about how long the police registration process takes? Also where can this be done? At any police station across the country? And do I need any other documents besides my passport with EC stamp? I am following the same approach as above: already have EC approval for my HSMP and ...
Hi, Many of us - HSMP applicants - have non-UK academic degrees (Bachelors, Master and/or PhD) but also have NARIC proof of equivalence of these degrees to UK degrees so as to score on HSMP. On the job search front, has anyone had some experience with how UK employers generally perceive NARIC... Is ...
Yes, I also cant find any mention of the 6 month rule in the new guidance. For the 3 month limit, it is mentioned in paragragh 68 of the new guidance: "Any secondment that requires you to be outside the UK for an unbroken period of over three months will make your previous stay in the UK inelig...

Hello, Does anyone know if you get easier visiting access to EU Schengen states if you are a holder of an HSMP visa.... I was told Swiss visit visa for example is no longer required if you have HSMP... I've just been asked by a UK recruiter about the potential ease of my mobility for a job that will...
Hi, I m just wondering if anyone in Egypt with approved HSMP has had any actual experience with Entry Clearance from the British Embassy in Cairo...? If so, please share your experiences here... What are the requirements for EC application there? How long do they take reviewing it? and do they norma...
Good morning to All :) I agree we should challenge this requirement... I've already emailed the Consul here and waiting to hear back from him... I'll let you know the feedback... I suggest all those concerned write to them as well to put more pressure on them to act... They probably won't bother to ...
Hello All, I was trying to apply for EC from Jeddah also but was surprised with this final exit stamp requirement... With HSMP it is given that we will probably go to UK with no job secured yet there & we start our search... Although we initally pledge to make UK our home country, the HSMP revol...

Hi, This is a very interesting point here from Farah... Does this mean that the "6 months per 5 years" rule no longer applies for the (HSMP)ILR and only the 3-month stretch limit per stay (outside UK) applies??? Is my understanding here correct?? Because it seems like good news!! Experienc...
Hi: I'm about to send off my HSMP application (claiming 35 pts for my MBA & 45 for previous earnings) but just have a question about employability evidence... there is no mention of it in the new guidance but will it help to include things like resume, relevant UK job postings and communications...
