Hello All.
I have been reading posts in this site from quite a long time.. almost all the posts. I have applied for my HSMP and got my visa yesterday.... Thought I will share my experience to everyone.
What did I do to apply for HSMP to HO
Sent following docs: claiming 90 points
Applied from INDIA.
----- Salary in India 35 points -- 6010 GBP --------
1. 12 Months payslips
2. 12 Months bankstatements
----- Education 35 points --------------
3. Masters certificate [did not sent memos]
4. Degree certificate [did not sent memos]
------ Age 20 points --------------------
5. Full driving license .Card
------- English language ---------------
6. Letter from university. For Degree
After I sent these docs to HO using FEDEX it took about 20 days for getting a decision. When I called HO from India to arrange for a courier collection they said that the docs have been posted using Royal mail. Then I had to wait for 20 more days for it to come to my residence.
After I got my approval. I started preparing for EC.
What docs I sent for EC.
1. Covering letter
2. All documents that I sent to HO [SEE ABOVE]
3. All memos. 10th, Intermediate, Degree, PG
4. 3 Months bank statements & 3 Month payslips ( along with 12 months that I sent to HO)
5. ITR (New saral form)
6. Letter from friend for support, his passport copy and copy of tenancy agrement and his bank statements for 2 months
7. My Bank balance showing 5000 gbp. My friend was only sponsering accommodation so I was supporting myself for financials
8. Jobsearch and email communication with UK job agencies.
9. HSMP proforma available in UK IN INDIA SITE
10. Integra docs. (Photo copy of some of the above docs)
Thats all.. The VFS guys were very friendly..they have sent me back twice when I did not get all the above docs.. I mean they said that the docs are missing but were willing to take the application.. Its upto us to give them required docs that they ask. They really know what the required docs are for BHC
Thats it... It took about 15 days to get the EC with 2 years visa.
Thanks folks for all you advice.
Best regards,
