I guess the more you can show the better. I believe you need to show about GBP 2,800 per applicant so about GBP 5,600 should be the safe, unless you have a job offer.

I had left these sections blank initially, but the VFS officer made me put in N/A in all these sections.

Thanks Renuga, I applied on my own, got a lot of help from this website. I had informed my direct supervisor about my plans and after taking his consent, I attached his business card with the application. They called him on his land line number to basically verify my joining date, net salary and des...

If you asked for a courier delivery I guess you should get the passport by tomorrow.

I am sure this suspense is frustrating...

All the best..

Thanks Achtung,

When would you be planning to go to the UK? Also, what field would you be looking for a job in?

Thank hsmppune. The status on the VFS website is as follows: Application date 14 Dec 2007 Status Application is collected on 04 Jan 2008 However, after the VFS told me that my passport is ready for collection, I checked the VFS website and the status was still the same old one "Sent to BHC on 1...

My timelines:

Applied at Mumbai VFS: 14th December
Integra call: Monday, 24th December

I applied on the 14th and have given a date of 27th January. Hope to get it by then. My integra verification happened on Monday.

All the best.

Thanks. That is reassuring. Have you moved to the UK?

We applied from Vile Parle, Mumbai, India.

I applied for my HSMP EC along with my wife as the dependent on the 14th. Had a couple of questions: 1. As a part of my integra verification, my employer received a verification call this afternoon at 1:30 (which is usually lunch time at most of the offices). Unfortunately, my boss was away from his...

I sent my review request via fax.

There are a lot of holidays coming up. All the best.

Well I first applied for my initial approval and got a rejection in about 10-12 working days. The reason for refusal was that I had provided only 2 wage slips covering the 12 month period I had claimed points for. Most likely, the case worker just saw 2 pages and assumed that I had not provided my s...

Hi YS,

I got mine the next day.

All the best.

I agree with you. Despite all the days off for their so called trainings, they have absolutely no clue on the the document requirements. Since they decide what documents should not be included and what documents are inappropriate, they should also be in a position to give us a list of documents requ...

Hi Victoria,

I applied for my EC along with my wife as the dependent on the 14th. We submitted our marriage certificate, however, did not provide any photo or wedding card. Do you this this could pose as a problem?

Thanks.

Hi CD, I applied for my HSMP visa along with my wife as a dependent. I had submitted my original birth certificate and wanted to submit my wifes PAN card DL for name proof and age. They refused to accept the originals so submitted a xerox. Not too worried as I am the primary applicant and not my wif...

Congrats freetomingle!! I applied for my EC yesterday along with my wife as a dependent. Expecting a decision by mid-January, as there are a lot of holidays in the next couple of weeks. What is the field you are working in at the moment? I am looking for something in investment banking / PE / VC / e...

Thanks rvag. That is re-assuring. I had checked with others in the same position as mine prior to applying and they apparently left those sections blank as well.
