Well, the first thing to do is....ask your sponsors!!! We don't know what they would say! As the Commonwealth Scholarship, I think, is for people from developing countries in the Commonwealth, they do require you to return home. So you can't apply for HSMP without getting their permission - there's no two ways about this. So you can only ask them and see what they say. It is not an entirely unreasonable thing that they require you to return home - you applied knowing they required this of you and accepted it; they don't want to train all these people only for them to stay and use their skills here, so there's nothing to be disappointed about if they refuse you.CoolestGuyB wrote:I'm a prospective in-country applicant for the HSMP visa. I came to the UK (after some years of work experience in my home country) for postgraduate studies under the Commonwealth Scholarship which ends in September 2007. My intention now is to stay back in the UK to pursue a career, which is why I'm planning to apply for the HSMP visa.
Going through the HSMP application forms/ guidance notes recently, I discovered that students who are/were(?) under scholarship schemes like mine are required to obtain a letter of permission to apply for the HSMP from their sponsoring scholarship agency. My dilemma now is the fear that the UK Commonwealth Scholarship Commission may not be willing to issue me the required letter considering the commitment made initially to return to my home country after the postgraduate programme.
I will very much appreciate any advice you can give on how I can resolve this issue which has been bothering me for quite some time now.
Thanks so much.
