To my knowledge, the form required for EC is VAF1 (Review October 2006).in form IM2A (Revised 12/01) for Application for United Kingdom entry clearance
I received approval from the NY consulate last week...I bet you did the same thing I did and chose the work permit visa in the online system? It seems counterintuitive to me, but you actually need to choose "permit free employment" and the HSMP becomes an option in the next menu.begster999 wrote:Hi Juan and push_hsmp,
I think you are both correct. I was probably looking at the wrong visa application form. BTW, I'm in the US.
Juan, thanks for the URL!

Here's what my hooray post, with the details of what I submitted, etc.begster999 wrote:Amy,
I meant to indicate the form name/number. Did you use the Non-Settlement application form VAF1 for your visa and EC?
Thanks!
Bob
Well, I'd rather not say exactly how much, given that the whole world can read this boardbegster999 wrote:Amy,
I feel bad asking you this, but can you tell me/us how much liquid funds you had in the bank when you applied for the EC? It'll help me prepare my application better as I really have no idea what amount is considered "good and/or sufficient."
Thanks very much!!!

BobBut I've seen others quote 3500 GBP as enough...that seems barebones low to me for London living, but I bet with flatsharing, etc, it could be done.
I was able to show quite a bit more than that (simply due to a recent inheritance, not any work on my part!), but I also created a somewhat comfortable budget that I submitted with my application. So, I would gather that anything more than 5000 GBP is more than sufficient, especially if you can show that you plan to budget wisely.

Thank you for the information, both about average funds and creating a budget! I would've never thought of creating a budget. Great point to remember!
