Some posts on EC state : [1.] Says VAYU (EC in CANBERRA) - Just spoke to the EC lady at the UK high commission in Canberra.

A lot depends on how you present matters ..... honestly, precisely and arresting attention.

I don't think u will be refused entry on a valid visitors visa.
As for the HSMP, be persistent with the tracing of the additional document. Alternatively, u cld re-send or re-apply.

Need help with marketing jobs/qualifications, preferably from a marketer or a recruiter specialising in that area.

Good ol' big American heart, Quiz.
Will return the favor whenever I make it.

I second F2K and Bani.
The HO understands.

My experience tells me that in writing an HSMP application,
Common Sense + Honesty + Attention to Detail > the services of a 'quick-fix' Solicitor.

I am among the '5 week' quickies. I received the approval and the originals today. :shock: They seem to be in order. Haven't checked completely yet. 8) Some of the documents like sealed college transcripts are in fact unopened ! :o When I first saw the envelope, I thought it was a call for more/orig...
