A birth certificate not bearing your name, may not work!! Get a new one issued with your name on it, if possible.

Best regards,

Can anyone who has got his EC approved recently, indicate the timelines for Integra verification, as in: (1) How many days after submitting the application at VFS did someone from Integra contact the employer? - was it a phone call or a formal letter? (2) and the University? Best Regards, push_hsmp

If you go back to your own country and apply for EC, I suspect that the result is going to be the same. The first thing that you should do is to get the NARIC certification- caseworkers look at NARIC database while verifying the equivalency of any degree to a UK Bachelors or Master's course. I am a ...

Please dont take me otherwise, but I still can not believe that the university does not have a telephone number !! Every Univ has to meet certain criteria before they are granted (and continue to hold) the status of a University by UGC. And the most basic thing is the contact detail. Have you visite...

You can relax dude. your salary evidence looks proper. A minor difference in the tax return amount and the gross income as calculated using the salary slips will not affect your application, as long as lower of the two amounts (especially the one on ITR) exceeds the limit for the band that you have ...

It will be better if you provide details of the degree that you used to claim the HSMP points. If you used your MBA degree for the purpose, it is required that you provide details of the same. Integra Verification has not started as yet as I have submitted my application recently. I am expecting tha...

I also thought that we ought to fill in section 7 but got info from some of the successful EC applicants and they informed that it has to be left blank. Not man HSMP holders do have a job while applying for EC and thus no information about the employer, reference number of WP, date till valid etc. I...

Ya that should be perfectly fine.
This is what many people do. Some arrange to get a letter from a family member/friend who is already in UK.

Hi,

The VFS people did not allow me to submit the copy of my degree (for EC under HSMP). I could submit just the marksheet.

I was wondering if we can send the documents directly to Integra? Has anyone ever tried it?

I have read from other ppls post that one needs around 3500 GBP per applicant. You can show support from your parents. Get a letter from them to this effect and present their bank statements. As far as funds are concerned - the more the better it is for you... regards, push_hsmp How much fund I need...

You do not have to attach any docs with the the pro-forma points form. Just fill it up and the VFS will take it along with the application... regards, hi Push_Hsmp, Please help with this query : 1. Along with the VAF 1 Form whole bunch of ducument. 2. Aong with the Integra Screen Form - Educational ...

Thanks aj_sp_007, Thats not a good thing to hear.... :cry: . They should atleast keep us updated on what is happening on the verification front ( if not in advance then atleast once, when they are done with each of the stages - employer/educational records). I am more worried as the VFS ppl did not ...

Hi Kumarmaj, Congrats on getting the HSMP approval. The EC process is again all about preparing your application carefully and properly managing the document verification process (A third party agency will call up your employer and University to verify your documents). Please ensure that there is so...

Hi,

Is it possible to track the progress on Integra Verification process? The VFS site just says that the application has been forwarded to the BHC.

Thanks aj_sp_007, You are right in saying that they are just a courier agency (sort of) but what was appalling was complete lack of understanding (& cooperation) of the person attending me. However, through a lot of persuasion and ego massaging I was able to achieve almost all that I wanted. In ...

I applied for EC at Delhi. (1) The guy made me fill a Integra form which is slightly different from the one available on the website. (2) He did not allow me to submit photocopies of all the pages of the main applicant's passport (3) Refused to accept copy of Degree Certificate instead asked for Fin...

You will get 30 marks for your qualification. Provide the NARIC Evaluation report and the original copy of your degree. regards, push_hsmp Hello, Today I am in receipt of NARIC Assessment report as under : (1) Country of qualification : INDIA Title of Award : Bachelor of Laws Awarding Institution : ...

It may take some days before they charge your card. And not in all cases do the applicants get a referenc number. So, if that happens in your case too, just call up the customer helpline and they will give you the reference number. Wait for a few days, however.

Guys please help.

thanks.

Did you use to get your salary in cash? If bank account is a problem then why do not you provide the primary evidence i.e. just the Income Tax return & the Salary slips? In absence of these two, you will have to provide the your Bank Statements & Letter from the employer, without which your ...

The case worker will re-assess your eligibility under the HSMP scheme even for EC. If you do not supply the requisite evidence then you run the risk of being disqualified!! I was reading somewhere on the forum that somone's ECapplication got rejected because he did not submit the Date of Birth certi...

Look at the following thread. You should get some answers.

(1) In country applicants - around 7-8 days; Out of country applicants - 15 days - may exceed if the caseworker decides to send the documents to BHC for verification.
