My employer has insisted, at this point, that I allow them to write a "hurry up" letter on my behalf, but I doubt it will do much good! They may ask your employer to call the 'employers checking service' for a 'right to work' certificate. They gave mine a certificate last september and it...

Section 11L is correct. You need to take your initial HSMP approval letter and to be on the safe side I took both my initial HSMP approval letter and my TIer 1 Extension letters from ukba. But the chances are they might not ask you to produce this document but be prepared in case they do. Thanks fo...

I'm gathering all my documents together to apply for ILR at the end of next month, I will be applying by post rather than in person. I'll be applying on the basis of 2 years on HSMP and 3 years on Tier 1 General. In section 11, it appears that section 11L is the correct part to fill out and the firs...

All, I've been in London for a week, totally exhausted but I'm having a blast, have hopefully found a flat and have my first interview tomorrow! I just thought I'd pass along some info I got from a recruiter yesterday: Make sure you bring your original degree with you. It's not a big deal (mine is s...

Hmm, I feel like an idiot then...I went to Barclays just yesterday in South Ken and the guy was really nice, but wouldn't let me open an account without a UK address...I was hoping to open the account to pay the deposit on the flat I found! Lol. But I'm also wondering how I overlooked this when I wa...

Thanks for your input. My understanding is that I should be able to do EC myself even if I am in US (L1 visa) right? Also in my approval letter my consultant name is printed in the "To" address. That should not be a issue right? Please let me know. It doesn't matter that your solicitor's ...

This may be an odd question/comment, but do most of you guys have a specific field your in job wise? IT, Engineering, etc.... I'm really surprised that so many people under 27 are able to claim points for income. I'm from the southern US, and believe me, it's very difficult to make a decent salary ...

Hello all, I was awarded zero points for my Masters based on the fact that my Bachelor degree was in Geology and the Master was in Information Systems. Does anyone know what I need to do, from an education perspective, to be able to claim points for my Masters degree? By the way, here is what the r...

Congratulations!

had requested my employer to give me a letter confirming my salary for the earning periods claimed, they have got back to me asking who the letter should be addressed to, as my employer isnt entertaining the "to whomsoever it may concern" so, who the letter should be addressed to? to the ...

Hi friends, I have visa for 2 years and my current employer notice period is 3 months. I spoke to VFS and they said i need to travel with in 3 months of EC clearance otherwise i need to have a letter so that i will not have any issues in immigration. Please let me know your experiences if your land...

Hello All, I asked my bank to give me the statement from July 2006 to July 2007. The bank manager at HDFC bank printed the transactions using a Dot Matrix printer on Dot Matrix stationary. Though he has put the bank seal and has signed it, I wish to understand from other people whether that is fine...

"By the same token, you might get into the HSMP by getting points for age, but the HO expects that after 2 years, you'll have increased your earnings by enough to no longer need the age points. " please review this point....after 2 yrs the age brackets shift by 2 yrs n u get the same poin...

the letter does not say when the money would be given..But it does say for the first month in UK the company would provide accommodation What is your understanding of the agreement? Are they *providing* accommodations for you? Meaning that they will pay the bill directly? Or are they giving you the...

My elder brother is on HSMP and working in uk for last 3 years .. which documents would be needed from his side while applying for EC ..if i wish to stay at his place ( accommodation ) searching for job. I seem to recall a very recent post where someone posted the template of an accommodation lette...

I don't suppose that there's any inherent reason that the ILR requirements should be necessarily coordinated with the HSMP timeframes, or that the same parameters should apply at the end as at the beginning. After all, MBA grads (from the selected 50-odd business schools) get 75 points for their de...

thanks for the reply Gordon..In my offer letter it is also mentioned that they are going to pay me 10000k GBP for relocation purposes only..that includes air transfer and first month stay. But how is the payment being structured? I was given a relocation "bonus" to move from one area of t...

point well taken.... but as said ...its not necessary the ECO acknowledges yr request of post dated stamp; as in my case and all of my frnds applying from pakistan; the eco didnt consider their post dated request. I know i have to file n FLR again 2nd time; but that creates an issue of age bracket ...
