indian passport holders - please take the time to read the last page of your passport. your passport does NOT belong to you. It is the property of the indian government and must not be sent outside of any country by post. it can only accompany the holder. so please dont send your passport to HO. if ...

3rd world country with 3rd world thinking!

ha ha you are the 3rd class northie still sitting in 3rd world india - your level of english proves that.

the UK govt. welcomes 3rd class guys like you, which is why i am outta here

If this is the case,just shut up and logoff from this board.We don't need boosters here. BYW i know u r not even qualified for HSMP as u don't even have a Degree. hey catch whats a "booster" got to do in this context? do you speak english? how typical of the UK government to issue a HSMP ...

hmm interesting. i got mine too back in september 2003 when the points were 75. i never knew know how many points i got because at that time the HO just issued a letter saying that i qualified. its a bit sad that the gap counted against you. didnt you have any placement assistance from your uni? tel...

i know what i am doing...

i have no need to be jealous of anyone, but i think you better start looking for "highly skilled" high street jobs in the UK.... with your "HS"MP visa

oh do you?

is there no "dude catching" job in the UK, which is why you are still sitting in your home country?

or do you find the agents "peculiar" like 'teeboy'

HA HA

i am sure you deserve an HSMP visa for this "highly skilled" job.

is that any of your business? its my wish that i will move wherever i want to. if it is bothering you, i have a job offer in the US so i will work there until my AUS pr is processed.... it takes a year or so for that anyway the AUS pr is valid for 5 years so you can go there anytime before the end o...

i think londonite's case is a bit exceptional. the normal procedure is to call the nearest (to your home) jobcentreplus office and tell them that you need a new NI number. they will take your name and phone number. after a few days( cant say how many days, but it took a month for me ), someone from ...

I am happy the government knows this more than him! hmm.. possibly, but i can definitely say that the government knows better that YOU teeboy have you seen this? "UK HSMP to get tougher" - JULY 2004 http://www.workpermit.com/news/2004_07_21/uk/hsmp_news.htm Top 10% of the workforce!! ha h...

am replying to what "madankumars" said I do not know where he is from but I stand tall to tell him that I am Highly Skilled. I hold a Bachelors Degree in Communications Engineering, MSc in Telecommunications and Information Systems from one of UK's topmost universities. I am a member of t...

Madan ...I am sure you would be the first person to bring your poorly Father (from Madras) to the UK or Australia to benefit from the 'first Class' health services if there was room for that... i think you are the only person in this entire country who says NHS is "first class". to be hon...

well, by the way i forgot to add that i got an IT job in a london based IT/management consulting company, 1 week after coming here -- paying over 50K. i am a .net and biztalk specialist with approximately 6+ years of experience

i dont want to discourage prospective HSMP applicants.... I came here in Jan'04 after spending 4 years in australia, with the idea of settling down, but... the uk is not what i see as a place to settle down. i dont see any improvement in my quality of life compared to living in india (australia is a...

i think this shows exactly how the so called "highly skilled" migrants are not quite what the claim to be!

unless HO increases its treshold again, the HSMP will lost its shine and will be just another backdoor way to come into this country.

ajayxyz where are you mate?

i am not too keen to about ILR, coz i am planning to leave the country for good in about 3-6 months at the latest.

having said that, can i apply for an early extension.

hey guys my hsmp visa finishes on 01/01/05. According to the HO website I must submit my passport 2 months before my visa expires (i.e. on 01/11/04) My father is not too well at the moment and I would like to visit him back in madras during the christmas vacation, so it would be extremely inconvenie...
