@ss786,

Congrats friend for getting EC. I got it from Islamabad as well and my visa stamp has similar sort of irregularity. Its not our headache as the people who stamped it should have taken care of this.

As far as all info is there, we are not bothered:)

Best of Luck

@Maidy First of all congrats for your visa . Check your dependants passports as well, is their any written on their passport? Visa STamp also indicates name of the dependants as well. No matter if someone tells u that its not a mistake, its still good if you will consult BHC for this issue. They mus...

@ bhatti_pk

i apologise for late reply friend. ITR is not necessary at all. as your salary slip is already showing ur tax deduction. BHC are more concerned about authenticiy of your bank statement and transactions.

@hum786, It doesnt make any difference if you are filing it from Lhr or ISB. As per my analysis, BHC sends all passports back on friday to Gerry's and then from Monday onwards you may collect passport from Gerry's office. Another issue is that Gerry's people dont change your status immediately. i wa...

@hum786 My Whole process for EC took 22 Days. BHC now takes atleast 15 working days for whole process. Normally they call your employer on 10th-12th working day after your submission date. But there can be delay if either your degrees need further verification or as waitingforec mentioned that if yo...

@shah175 Dear Friend, If you have applied on 7th of April,then you dont have toworry about any new rules including IELTS. IELTS band 6 is enough even for EC as you are right your HSMP Approval letter will be a proof that you have fulfilled IELTS requirement. 6.5 is a requirement only if you apply fo...

@caling97 New HSMP Rules will be applied in June 2008. So if you apply before that then definietly old rules will be applied and there is no requirement for maintenance fund in old scheme. As far as showing amount for EC is concerned, its better to show as much as possible. I showed approximately 1m...

@ caling97 Thanks. I applied under old scheme. But as per my knowledge from the new guidance sheet, if you are applying on August 1st, then you must have 2800 Pounds available from 1st of may till 31st july. I would suggest that its better to wait for one more month if you have to fulfillthis condit...

@waitingforec Thanks buddy for information. Yes i applied under HSMP scheme. I tried to get info about protector stamp and you are right the people are not clear themselves. It is just that sometimes immigration officers at our airports are not aware of the differences between work permit and HSMP e...
