EC Info - Urgent

Post by ap_in » Tue Aug 07, 2007 10:31 am

I got my HSMP approval this month from Home Office. I did my HSMP through a representative(consultant) in Bangalore. I might go to USA this month for a year in L1 Visa to work. My question is

- Will I be able to do my EC in USA?
- Should I do this through the same representative who did my HSMP approval documentation or I can do the EC documentation by myself and send it to consulate. Please advice as I am not sure what to do now.

Thanks in advance.

You can apply for EC on your own.

I think you should be able to apply for EC via one of the UK consulates in the US, since you would be considered a US resident on the L1 visa (does that sound right?). AG

Thanks for your input. My understanding is that I should be able to do EC myself even if I am in US (L1 visa) right? Also in my approval letter my consultant name is printed in the "To" address. That should not be a issue right? Please let me know.

It doesn't matter that your solicitor's address is in the to address, mine was addressed that way too.

Thank you very much...in case if EC gets rejected will they send our approval letter back or they will retain it. Also will I be able to reapply again for the EC with the same approval letter. Also do I need to again give GBP 200 for it. Please let me know...

Yes, the process is that you can Apeal OR re-apply. But due to time constraints and procesing periods you can go for re-applying. I got rejected in my first stance and then re-applied within 2 days and got the EC done within 2 weeks (tok long coz of mis communication from the BHC office).

The amount for re-applying should be 200 pounds.
If the opportunity doesn't knock, build a door.
