Hi, I am planning to apply for Tier 1 General VISA in next 2 months. I have done M.Tech, had around 3 years of exp in MNC and qualify for it. My important doubt is can I search for job in UK by staying in India? I was paid decent amount here (6lacs), so thinking of searching for the job being here....

Also bear in mind that you will need NI also to work
All the best

I came to the UK on the HSMP with expiry date September 2009. To extend my visa, I could not qualify as my earnings were not enough. I contacted a Solicitor in March 2009 who told me to start a company and claim that additional earnings. I was still not able to qualify as the earnings were still no...

So it depends on u i feel its better u select the option of proof already show in inital HSMP application.

@ clin10,

Congrats!

I hope it turns out well for those of us still waiting. . I m really nervous

@ Inukonhsmp,

I just received my reference & acknowledgement letter from HO via the post.
Have you received yours?

I sent my application which reached the HO on Friday 9 Oct. also.
I used postal order, i am yet to receive any acknowledgement.

If i dont get an acknowledgement/ref no before friday 16 oct, then i will start to worry. i will advise you to do the same. Its going to be fine.

congrats!

Did you include a self addressed special delivery envelop? just wondering why its so fast? Congratulations

i sent my application yesterday but i forgot to include a self addressed Special delivery envelop! With the ongoing strike, i have a lot to worry about
