Well, there was a similar problem my friend faced. She works for a Indian company that starts with T and ends with S, and the reason she gave was applying for home loan and they said it's not in the company policy to seal and sign pay slips. They infact said ask the bank representative to speak to u...

Dear friends, How is the market for Qt / Symbian in the VOIP area in Telecom sector for development / test development roles ? I realise that market is tough / bad / competitive for any / all positions. But would anybody in this area / domain throw some light ? Although certifications are an added a...

@Nishant:

No, that should no be a problem.

Mine was also a similar case, PDF documents, with no logo. I got it sealed and signed by HR and worked for me.

Best luck with your app.

Ok guys, here's an update. He got in and is in the UK now. He travelled almost after 18 months of getting his Visa. There is NO activation of visa within stipulated time blah. Only question, officer asked him was reason for delay. He gave his reasons and got in. Thanks a lot guys once again, for the...

Ok he got through and is in the UK now. The officer didn't even bother "the silly stapler pin holes":)

Only questions asked was for reason in delay, for which he gave his reasons and he got through.

Thanks guys once again.

Thanks Mohan, for sharing your experience. Should sound reassuring for the folks in J2EE domain.

And best luck to you with your job hunt. Your positive attitude will definitely help you go a long way.

Interesting discussion going on here. And I would have thought like this, being in Joy's position, take the 30K offer come into the UK and then look out to move into a better paying job! Although I agree is difficult, but what even more difficult in the 1st place is to secure a job before coming int...

Brilliant post Kenfrapin. Very clear picture of the current situation. Thanks !

Dear friends, Although late, it's time I gave back to this wonderful forum. Just when I was contemplating going to an agency (who were charging INR 50K ) I discovered this forum which gave me the wealth of information and the confidence to apply by myself. Which is what I did and got my visa ! So he...

Ok will tell you my case, My company offer letter, payslips etc have my full name with initial expanded. For eg., Paul John Smith. Where John is the first name and Smith is the middle name, Paul is the sir name. Whereas my bank statement, mark sheets have only my full name with initial not expanded,...

Thanks Arun. Sounds reassuring.

I also keep telling him he worries too much. Will keep you guys posted.

Thanks Pranvayu. Although it was the photo on the passport in your colleague's case, it does give some hope, that 2 small stapler pin holes in the visa shouldn't really be a matter of concern.

Hello friends, Again, this query is behalf of the same friend. When he travelled into another country last year where he had submitted 2 copies of his photographs for visa on arrival, they used one and stapled the other one to a page in his passport. Unfortunately it was the page which had his Tier ...

Yes he is and no it's not a cost cutting move. A work permit can't be processed for him coz he's not yet 12 months old with the company.

It was the same case for me. My company got aquired and the last two months were of the new companies, I just mentioned it in the cover letter and infact got the signatures and seal of the same HR on it. So worked out for me

Thanks Arun and Shepard. He is on Tier 1 and is entering for the 1st time on the Tier 1. His source is his current company immigration cell, who are saying this and aren't providing any documentary evidence as such, but are refusing his travel on this basis. Although the management are trying their ...

Oh and I searched the forum before posting that query and found this, http://www.immigrationboards.com/viewtopic.php?p=192486&sid=fc0af54f72fa5c77ab625db4230b5cf0 Quote: Please note that you are also required to activate your Tier One visa by passing through Immigration once it is valid.

Hello folks, I am posting this query on behalf of a friend, He got his Tier 1 visa in December 08', and hasn't travelled into the UK yet on that visa. He is now planning to travel in about a weeks time, for a long term assignment. He now has information from a source that he will not be allowed entr...

Thanks sushdmehta.

Hello friends, I plan to submit my application sometime in mid / end of october. I have reading this forum for sometime and appreciate the wealth of knowledge shared here. I have 2 questions, 1.
