hi daslimy,

Congrats on your EC!!!

Can you please confirm if your stamping has the same issues as mine? Refer to the other thread on this.

Thanks

Hi kmehta,

Thanks for your response.

Can you please answer the following questions in your context:

1) Is her passport in her maiden name?
2) Do your passports endorse the fact that you are married to each other?

Regards
hsmppune

thanks Vidya. I would celebrate more freely once I am sure theres no issue with the way my EC has been stamped. For details you will have to visit the thread. Other folks, sorry for the new thread. But if this is really an issue, it might also happen with others, so I created a new reference point. ...

Hi All, I have received my passports. My EC has been stamped along with my wife's. However I have some issues with the stamping, please refer to the new thread i created for this purpose and provide your inputs. My timelines: Applied at Pune VFS: 19th December, 2007 Received Integra call: 28th Decem...

Hi Forum, I just got my passports from the BHC. The good news is both me and my wife's passports are stamped. I had applied for my wife as my dependant. Theres something funny which I noticed on the passports: 1) On my visa stamp, theres a column which says "No of Dependants", and it shows...

I agree with Andy and am from pune too. You dont need naric certification.

Good luck with your application.

India2uk, congrats on your EC, that too post dated. I used a consultant for my hsmp+ec application, and he told me the consulate does not issue post dated visas anymore. I guess I need to give him a piece of my mind soon. Other looking for post-dated EC, cheer up as we now know post dated EC is in f...

Yeah this has been happening with everyone, you will see 3-4 redundant replies from a lot of people:).

Hi Vishal, I think Vidya is right. However, its easier said than done. This process surely breaks all your resolve to be patient. I called the BHC this morning at the following numbers at around 10 30 and they told me to call tomorrow afternoon for a status, and at 4 this evening my status changed t...

Hi Lion,

Thanks for the answers pal.

Yes, will keep the forum in the loop.

Cheers

Hi Lion,

Thanks for the answers pal.

Yes, will keep the forum in the loop.

Thanks Winmano, good luck for your application too. Others, I had a few queries on the process: 1) When it says handed over to Blue Dart, would that be in Mumbai, or at Pune VFS where I submitted my application? 2) At the time of courier delivery, will the guy just cross-check with the VFS receipt, ...

Hi Forum, My status just changed to: "Processed application delivered to Blue Dart on 07 Jan 2008" I had applied at Pune VFS on 19th December. My wife had applied with me as a dependant. One small query, do I need to be present at my home address when the courier arrives, or my parents can...

Congrats Chakshu,

I guess thats your name right?

Great going, you have exactly the same timelines as mine except that I have not got a decision on my EC application yet.

So when are you flying?

Good luck

I agree with Lion on this.

Venkatesh, it would be good to follow just one thread. I understand it gives people who have applied to Chennai BHC a better visibility, however, it does leave the other members browsing two or more threads for related information.

Hi Venkatesh,

I also mailed on Thursday, however have not get any response till now.

I think you were one of the lucky cases they replied to:).

Regards

Hi HSMPQueries,

I applied as the principal applicant with my wife as dependant at VFS Pune, on 19th December.

The fact that you got your EC today makes me hope I might also get my EC sometime next week.

Amen

Cheers

Hey HSMPQueries, Congrats on your EC, and all the best for the impending battle. Can you please paste your status as on VFS site here, so people who cannot get in touch with Mumbai BHC so regularly, can get some clue on their status online. There was a thread today where people reasoned why cases in...

Hi marupa,

Congrats on your EC.

So when are you planning to fly?

Thanks for your wishes for us wait-listers:). Considering I applied on 19th December, I think its not my place to start cribbing so soon, right friends?

Cheers

Hi venkatesh,

Can you please let us know what id did you send the inquiry mail on?

would it be this for a Pune/Mumbai applicant:

Bombay.VisaEnquiries@fco.gov.uk

Hi Forum, I am planning to fly to the UK sometime in Feb on an HSMP visa. Though I do not have EC yet, I am trying to get some things done before things become all hectic. Can someone point me to some kind of checklist for the things which you should take care of when finally making a move to the UK...

I agree Arsenal.

I will try moving it to the relevant forum.

Hi Folks, I am planning to fly to the UK sometime in Feb. Though I do not have EC yet, I am trying to get some things done before things become all hectic. Can someone point me to some kind of checklist for the things which you should take care of when finally making a move to the UK? Any other poin...

Hi Hanif, The decision mail only says that a decision has been taken on your application, and doesnt mention if its approval or rejection. Earlier, HO used to tell the decision on phone, however recently they stopped doing that due to some policy change. I came to know my decision only when I receiv...
