The letter was a general "Contact if you want to for any info" letter, i guess there was some section on the form that said - "Please provide contact info blah blah" so i just added that letter in, in these stricter times, i just wanted to make sure all goes smooth. Did u provid...
Not really sure why they asked, but as per my HR, she said she has been receiving a lot of calls recently, looks like the HO is now confirming a larger percentage of applications than before. there was no confirmation when i applied last year, nothing what so ever and i got my conf letter sooper fa...
Important information you have shared here. Appricaiate it. You have mentioned "The date's Mr xxxxxxxxx was employed with your company?" Does this mean your X employer or you are still employed with the company and asked for confirmation between specifiec dates? Also why do u think they ma...
I agree with chetanojha too. but you have nothing to worry about here. So pay your fine that way you dont have to go to court (and you are not convict!). Declare it in the application that you did paid your Fixed Penalty Fine and did not had to appear in court and let HO decide weather this is somet...
Hi , You will need to declare these in your application even if this is not criminal conviction. I have called ho (as I am-was in similar situation) and they told me to include any conviction including traffic offences. Though they said it will not effect your application as its only minor offence. ...
CSK when you say you got "I got reply as standard as "5 weeeks before expiry blah blah blah....."" ... did they told you that the same text which is in guidence note. or did they said again that you have to have a reason ? Please eloborate your point !! thx guys im dreaming abt t...
Thanks jayceesh for the reply, I think I'll email ho for asking "can I" and use the reply in the application. Hopefully it should be ok. Thanks You can apply as early as possible depending on your circumstances which may vary. I am currently on a 1+4+3 HSMP now! Dates - 22 Jul 2005 to 22 J...
Gud stuff Jayceesh, Thanks for such a detail reply. I am going to email home office and will use that email with my application. I think it would be best idea to apply in person. You can apply as early as possible depending on your circumstances which may vary. I am currently on a 1+4+3 HSMP now! Da...
Thanks everyone for your input. Could anyone please share if the one who got the visa 8 months and 1 year early had provided a reason? I dont know what is consider as "valid reason"
:D If they give you 10 replies, ask them till you receive the reply you want :-) and then use it in your application. Since the reply came from HO itself, they cannot deny the fact and you will be in win situation there. Brillirent, It was very valuable. I'll ask ho. but as you know they will give m...
As far as I know there is no time limit for one to be out of employment (its not in someone's hand how long you are going to be unemployed!!). But you should be "actively looking for employment"... during this time.. Hi, Can anyone please advise if there is any maximum duration that you ca...
Brillirent, It was very valuable. I'll ask ho. but as you know they will give me 10 different replies for the same question!!! but I'll have another go... Anyone else have any input in this? Thanks Hi psdesai, I haven't done it myself. But as per the text in email received from HO, I can say you can...
Thanks chetanojha for the reply, In my case is about 10 months early extension! I havent heard anyone yet who applied this early and got extension. (doesnt mean there wont be anyone out there!) Do you have to give a valid reason (if poss. please pm or share the reason you have given if any)? If so t...
Hi Guys, I know this topic have been discussed before but I can not conclude to any definite answer. I am on HSMP visa due to expire in March 2010. Due to current economic climate I wish to extend my visa ASAP. There are other reasons such as becoming self employed, buying house etc. (I was on work ...
My advise is dont panic. be honest.
you know you havent done anything wrong so dont get nervous in the interview and talk to it in the end!!
if they are not convinced then there are measures in law and as far as you are honest and right then you will not have any problem
How did u know about all these points on each bands.
Even homeoffice is not briefed about this!
Its only a brief statement of what we already know.
Dont spread roumours man. not helping....
Could you please let us know the home office number that you have called? thx NionLight I do not agree with you. Even in the announcement, nowhere has this been mentioned that the changes will be applied to the current hsmp holders. This has just been our speculation and panic that we all ave create...
Hi RMP, Thanks for the info. U said your visa is expiring in dec 2009 and you have applied now. my visa is expiring march 2010 and I have emailed twice to bia and their replied were as follows: -------------------------- (1) We recommend that applicants submit an application for an extension around ...
I contacted HO for the same reason . I have to apply for extension becouse of these B"*it changes which are due in April. I got following reply via email. "We recommend that applicants submit an application for an extension around 5 weeks before their visa expires, however, this is not man...
I have asked home office and there is no strict rule for the time limit . Please find my reply. "We recommend that applicants submit an application for an extension around 5 weeks before their visa expires, however, this is not mandatory – applications can be submitted at any time before the ...
