Hi, If I understand right - You've been in the UK for 4 months; unemployed / on holiday - Were working for the last 8 months in the previous 12 month period ; outside of uk You can use the 8 months of employment to present a pro-rata case. Basically take the income earned in 8 months and do pro-rata...
Thanks Gunjan, iyanu & f2k ! I figured I would hear from them only in June/July ... so this was a major surprise. I don't know if my mail to them complaining about the slow service had anything to do with it. I did mention my ref no in the email. Am chilled about the EC cos the folks at the Brit...

I think what is happening is that they have decided to deal with post dec/jan applications and ensure their new procedure works in clearing 90% of whatever comes in. They probably have 2-3 people dealing with the june-nov lot which is why it is so slow. Once they are able to confirm that the new pro...

Well I was more keen on opportunities in Asset Management/Private Banking/Institutional Banking - Sales/Marketing related.
Looks like one really can't get a job in UK unless you actually move there.... as I am given to understand there is more supply than demand in the areas I am keen on.
Hi, I am keen to know more from those in Banking/Financial Services on their experience in the UK on the job search front. I am extremely sure of getting the HSMP but just not sure on the employment part .... it would be great if members with similar backgrounds could share their experience. Cheers,...
Thanks for your feedback guys. I figured too that there was nothing such as an EU workpermit but most of the recruiters are not very familiar with HSMP. I make it a point to explain HSMP and provide links to it when they ask me about work permit. I guess sometimes one should just say that one has th...
Is EU workpermit the same as a UK one ? I know the name itself probably implies u need to have to be a EU citizen. I have come across jobs which are located in London but they want EU workpermit. Can one get an EU workpermit post HSMP approval ?? Clarifications from those in the know of this issue w...
My app reached Doncaster on the 19th and I was shocked when I recvd an email from HO on the 20th with my ref no. I had also asked for my docs to be returned to an address in UK which was declined. So I called them (the email had a direct phone no) and I was told that it will be sent to the address w...
Minimum requirement depends on which Income country you fall under. I fall under category A for last 3 months and Category D for 9 months prior to that. So am claiming points under the pro-rata rule.
Hi I recently got relocated to the UAE. Now my earnings here are less than that required in the Category A. However my earnings for the last 9 months in India meets the criteria - 1) Do I have to show wage slips for all the 12 months or can I just show for the 9 months in India since that is what I ...
Thanks for the inputs guys. I want to claim 50 points for 4 years of graduate experience with atleast 1 yr of specialist experience. Thats for the period between 1st April 02 to 30th May 03 where I was responsible for a lot of technology related development for an inhouse software that we managed. S...
Hi, I think without this board - HSMP will be a nightmare. Can someone please read thru my work ex reference and tell me how much should I ask for ? 35 or 50 ? I work for a financial services co If I were to ask for 35 and the caseworker felt the evidence in support actually points to 50 - how much ...

Home ministry / Any other local equivalent authority if you are in a state other than Maharashtra. I had to get the above done for my employment visa to Dubai. I had to get my...
Hi, I am planning to apply for the HSMP under 28. I can't inform my employer directly as they may not be too pleased with the idea. I have therefore informed that I need a work experience certificate for educational purpose. What format should it be in ? How elaborate does it have to be ? I am not c...
