I think if you could show them any worldwide known certifications like MCSE, MCT, CCNA, CCEA... would be an advantage, and also might help in other areas as work experience, but I dont think it's a requirement. I've sent all my certificates with my application, I advise ppl in IT to do the same, it ...

Hi samree,

Sorry to here about the decision, surely must have been some misunderstanding... Have you tried to call and talk to your caseworker?
What evidence did you provide for work experience besides the letters?

Good Luck!

If you apply for EC with dependents you should show the EC officer that the accomodation you chose is suitable for you and your dependents, ie. can't be a crowded place, need to have enough rooms/space for everybody. I guess if you apply alone it would be easier for the EC officer to believe that so...

Hi Ravi, I think the requirements are different depending on the country you are applying from. I suppose it's not necessary to provide all 6 bank statements, if you could just provide some old ones and a current one showing funds would be enough. I also dont think it's needed to provide Education C...

Sometimes we have to give up a few things in other to achieve others. It's just how life is... If you don't risk, and always place safe you will never achieve higher goals... My advice is go for it! There are great opportunities in IT, and I am sure if your will is strong enough and you have determi...

i think first you should check with the Charging Team if your application has been charged (charging.workpermits@ind.homeoffice.gsi.gov.uk). If it has, you choose ask the HSMP for your reference number (HSMP.Workpermits@ind.homeoffice.gsi.gov.uk).

Good Luck!

Hi, I have seen many postings saying that HO is flooded with new applications and that it may take about 32 weeks to process. I am wondering if this is really true, as I've also seen applications being processed in less than a week or even just a few days. I would like to know if Home Office is keep...

WOWOWOWOW you are a really lucky guy!!!!!
Do you have any idea why your application was processed so fast? Have you asked for Urgent Treatment??

I've seen ppl here asking for Urgent Treatment without job offers... Please, can anyone advice me if the e-mails I mentioned earlier are enough?

Thank you,
LBF.

Then I guess you should mark "No".

I have received many e-mails stating that my qualifications are excellent for the position but due to the start time of the job (which is usually immediatly or soon) I do not qualify.

Can I use those e-mails to call for Urgent Treatment? I have about 5 of them from different recruiting agencies.

Hi,

What documents do we have to provide with the urgent treatment form?

Thank you,

LBF.

I received my acknowledge a few days after receiving my reference number. Still waiting for a decision...

I'm considering using FEDEX. I read once that someone sent HSMP a FEDEX form already filled out with his address and signed, so the HSMP could provide the form during collection, as they dont sign anything... Does anybody have any other ideas for courier collection? It seems very difficult because U...

Hello,

I have a question, after you receive the approval from HO how much time you have to apply for EC?

Thanks,
LBF.

Mine was received on May 24... still waiting for a decision...

Ha,

Have you tried asking for urgent treatment?

hmmm I think they can only postpone it for 3 months... not 6... You better check that out. But you can also wait up to 3 months with the HO approval letter before applying for EC... that would get you the 6 months you need...

Is it only required for extensions? i mean, does hsmp fresh applications also have to go to the police?

I'm not sure the purpose of this procedure... can anybody clarify?

Thanks

Hello, I've read in many posts the problems of courier pickup. Essencially the HSMP team doesnt sign the airmail form and the courier doesnt accept the collection without a signature. Has anybody found a work around for this problem??! I have already contacted DHL and Fedex and neither of them accep...
