Prem12 your quote that there is no other sector that has pay as high as IT is neither correct or factual (just do a google search). For your information, the IT boom burst 7 years ago and IT pay is no different from any other average sector. Infact, it is now harder for IT professionals to justify a...

thanks, I have learnt something through this whole process. Every country has its own EC policy. For those applying from other countries its best to contact the local British High Commission. I went with a long list of documents (since thats what most do here) and the visa officer looked at me with ...

Got EC - thanks to this board...

Cheers!!!

I have been on this board for a short while and it has proven to be most useful. I have read many threads including HSMP case worker manuals for stage 1 approval and FLR through links on this forum. However, I haven't come across any case worker notes on EC. Therefore, I thought the links below woul...

My employer letter was simple. In my opinion, as long as the information can be corroborated with an income tax form or wagslips then thats it. Employer contact details are also needed on the cover letter. VV Sample of my employer letter VV COMPANY LOGO AND ADDRESS MY ADDRESS DATE Dear Mr XXXX Re: G...

OFCHARITY, what you have written makes a lot of sense!!!!

Since you have already submitted the application, its just a matter of keeping fingers crossed and waiting.

Are the gross details on the letter 100% the same as the gross details on the payslips (ie currency) without any discrepancies? Does the gross amount match 100% the gross amount on the payslips without any discrepancies? Is the letter on headed paper and signed? If the answer is yes to all three the...

Going by past experiences, royal mail special delivery is the best under the Royal Mail options during strikes. However that may still be an extra £4 for a deliver that takes longer than usual. Others like DHL, FedEx are obviously not affected and you can find out from them and the HO if thats poss...

I bet EC from NZ would be similar to EC from the USA (old commonwealth). Try to draw parallels from here:

I suggest you use your hand writing to fill it up. Somehow unlike CV's or cover letters, people still prefer and trust the old fashioned hand writing when it comes to such application forms.

The best thing to do is write to the professional bodies that assess the professional qualifications and ask them to produce a letter which shows the equivalency. You do not need a NARIC letter for UK qualifications. Please note that the HO accepts letters from "appropriate" professional b...

Send the P60 (but don't tick the box for tax return in the previous earnings section). Explain that your P60 covers only part of the period and that you have supplied 1. Bank statements and/or 2. Letter from employer in addition to your wage slips. At the end of the application form on the last page...

Good!!!! Now log yourself out of the forum and post your student visa extension application NOW via guaranteed next day 9am by Royal Mail. It has to reach Croydon before the expiry date. That will give you the time you need to complete the HSMP appeal process. All the best.

Your application was for initial approval and not FLR so the best course of action is leaving and appealing from abroad otherwise you risk being an overstayer on your student visa. All the best.

What do you mean by " [quote="quincey121"]They found resumes on me...[/quote] In any case, whats important is that you successfully obtained a tourist visa post event. More than anyone, you already know what questions to expect when this event is raised. Most likely you will be asked ...

Use all three possible methods immediately:
1. Fax
2. E-mail
3. Telephone

Mate, you've said it, integra applies to EC from India. I suggest you go to the British High Commission website of your country. BHC policy varies from country to country and not all have an integra system. Integra might not even apply in your case anyway!

It should say this is valid for 6 months

Any one of these is acceptable for age assessment:

Original birth certificate
Original full driving licence
Notarised copy of personal details passport page

Use the same HSMP1 guidance notes, the website of your local british high commission. HSMP1 notes on EC is very limited so it wouldn't hurt e-mailing or calling them as well for further guidance.

As long as the gross and net shows on your payslip and the net corroborates with salary on your bank account then you are ok and good to go.

Anything else like it showing on a seperate letter and not payslip and bank account would be unacceptable.

Hi, just a few questions: 1. Are the salary slips orginal formal payslips or plain paper payslips? 2. Did you provide only e-mail id for employer checks? 3. Is it a formal HR e-mail or private yahoo/hotmail of someone who works in HR? 4. I assume the bank statements you provided are for the overseas...
