" Also I was told by him, that I have not fly to UK immediately, when my visa is started, but can wait other 2 months. It means I have now 5 months to come to UK, which is fine with me " You can fly to UK anytime, there is no restriction on that. Flying too late may affect ur chances of g...

If you have a job in USA, it's still the best option.

You missed passport, didn't u

darik,
I think we don't need to worry about X-Ray, they will take on airport itself. The only think is that we may need to wait for some time. Recently my friend went to London, and he told that no need to worry about X-ray.

So finally you did it, welcome to the club

IMHO you need to show only Indian salary. You can't add UK allowance in Indian salary.

Tx a lot mini that's what i was looking for

I agree with HK. It's better to have school certs also.

Mini,
I got my PAN number when i personally visited IT office and gave my details, and they told me my PAN number.

Puti,
I agree with you, PAN number in mentioned in F-16 so i think F-16 should be okie.

Well not before but after todos:

Don't wear white socks
Don't carry Red umbrella

Above are for G@#s

I'm not planning to carry school certificates, i'll carry degree certificates and all employement related certs, and IT certs.

Do i need to carry school certs also ?

radmanj,
Give details of your benifits then may be i can figure out.
At least for cash benifits, which is apart from the salary, you can claim points. For example you can claim cash bonus you received.

It is written in HSMP Guidelines somewhere i may not recall. But what it says is that you have to show the salary where you have stayed for more than 6 months. Suppose you have been onsite for more than 6 months then you have to show onsites salary/compensation/benifit and you can't show indian sala...

Same with me i have PAN with me for 4+ yrs but without a card. And i don't know what is PAN issue letter?. All i have is the Form 49C photocopy. I got my PAN number when i went and enquired from IT department. They didn't get PAN issue letter. Any one what is this issue letter and how to get it ?

To hang around on net to get the pulse of UK. And to read guide books, at least these are the things i'm doing.
You must find out the condition of hotels if u gonna book hotel in UK.
Tubes, Express, Trams.... list goes on.

And don't expose ur wallet when u r walking on busy London streets.

Go to UK it's happening place :) Weather may be damp and London may be one of the costliest city in the world, but still IMHO UK is THE place to be. And u may be shocked, but to get a work in Canada u need to have a Candaian experience. And you can't get a job untillNunless u have Canadian experiecn...

Tx all.

So do i need to have the PAN CARD with me at customes or the PAN number will do ?
I have PAN number but I don't have PAN CARD with me, and i don't think i'll get it in near future.

Yeh have applied for PF SSN, but yet to get.

Do i need to get Income Tax clearance before leaving India on HSMP VISA ?

I doubt the credibility of DHC Chennai.
Better you contact Home Office in UK, and explain them your situation.
If HSMP is on hold then there should have been a news from HO.

Guys don't start this confusing topic again. We already closed this topic and the truth is: The Start date is the Start Date stamped in your EC. The start date and the End date is Stamped in ur EC. That's all. If you are in confusion look into ur EC. And it has nothing to do with the HSMP Approval d...

Tx all

What a warm welcome from K

Getting ready for tickets. Should i take one way ticket or return ?
I prefer one way, there is no return and it gives me more fund for applying EC for my spouse.

Do immigration officers at airport gonna raise eyebrows for one way ticket ?

Better to be truthful rather then hiding it :) You need to describe the Refusals, approved VISAs anyway will be in ur passport. I don't think refusal of VISA for any other country will impact ur EC, provided the refusal was not because of some suspicious reasons. Now i have a question, how they gonn...
