I didn't utelise the services of any lawyer/ consultant. if you have a time and interest you should go in details through this discussion board.

I must admitt that this board helped me alot in preparation of my case and i got approval.

I think it is not essential that you should hold a BA & MA degree in same discipline or subject. i would advise to send both BA and MA transcript / degrees. You will be able to score 15 points when you proof that you have done a 15 years study and degrees / transcripts are one of strong document...

I am afraid its not a requirement coz i came to UK on HSMP this April without being asked about protector. Protector is an official stamp particularly for the government employees in Pakistan and normaly for those laymen who go middle east on work permit. It shows that the holder is going abroad wit...

I would advise you to write to NARIC and get an assesment certificate from them which would carry much weight and authenticity rather only sending this chart.

Hi

i think by now you should have heard something from Home Office concerning your extension application. Any Update?

Dear Mr SAC If you carefully read my comments you will find that i Stated FOR PAKISTANI MA THE POINTS ARE AWARDED WHICH IS FOR UK BACHELROS. i didn't stated whether UK bachelor is of four years or etc I still insist the pakistani Masters are likely to get bachelor (15) points if they presented their...

yes for Pakistani MA u are likely to get a points of Bachelor level in HSMP.

No body seems to comment ???

Thanks you all for your valuable inputs. What i have gathered is that one needs to be economically active to get an extension; but i have gone through the FLR guidance and apart from this rule there is also a point " If you are not economically active you will need to provide evidence to show t...

Thanks for your reply
I shall be looking forward for a positive news at your end

Best of luck

Hi I came to UK on HSMP in Mid April 06 though i was given EC in January 06. I was not much enthusiastic coz i was sure i will get a job keeping in view the experience i had. Unfortunately it didn't work like what i was expecting. I am still job less and searching for job. My hubby got a job and we ...

Shall i assume that so far no application for extension is rejected?

Any knowhow about the cases where HSMP extension has actually been rejected?

Any Update on your application for FLR? I am more or less in a same situation and interested to find out the results of your application.

It doesn't really matter whether the call was from Embassy or HO you can make clearification to both. But I think calling HO is bit resource intensive and secondly the verfification is always done by the British High Commission immigration / visa section. So i think in order to save time & money...

I understand that HSMP holders can get one year extension if they are unable to get a job in first year of their HSMP visa but show that they are actively searching for a work. (HSMP with one year EC ) I am wondering if there is any one who got Four years extension withOUT getting a job ya self empl...

You can apply for HSMP- in country application. If you have two years visa valid on your passport i dont think it can be cancelled upon request of your spouse right now. The problem can come when you apply for extension if the immigration section/ HO have a written application from your wife which s...

I don't think it can create a serious problem for you. You dont have to provide numbers to HO rather you should try to call a British Embassy of your country and talk to Immigration/ Visa section for clearification. I personally think they wanted to verify whether you are employed by the same compan...

Thanks alot for all valuable contributions. I hope this would help lots of other poeple especially those who were not use to get the government funded health treatments in their country of origin. Yes i am registered with a GP though i do not have a NHS card but i wanted to clear it coz some of the ...

Thank you for your feed back. Yes i have referred to Fertility treatment by NHS in particular. A slight explanation would help further. What if a treatments is to be taken by a HSMP visa holder who is without a job but his/her dependent is contributing towards National Insurance. It is a scenario wh...

I have gone through the forum and couldn't find to the point answer therefore i am putting this down here for the moderators and experts to comment on it. I understand that HSMP visa holders are not entitled to receive / claim any benefits in UK but curious to find out whether HSMP holder is entitle...

I contact them on phone and send them email. I was advised over the phone to send the letter back, but they made mistake repeadly and thats y it took three month. I specifically requested them to alter the date of issue so that i dont face porblem in getting EC. Fortunately they changed the date of ...

It happened to me as well. My HSMP was approved in Aug 2005 and i got the correct letter in November 2005, isn't it funny? Initially they type my Date of birth wrong, when i send my letter back asking them for correction. Second time they typed my year of birth only so i was asked to send it back . ...

I am on HSMP First year visa and i am suppose to apply for extension in December this year. i arrived last month and still searching for job. I know it is too early to ask these question but your reply will help me . I would like to know what docs are required for extension. and normally how much sa...
