My application for EC

stitcher · Post by **stitcher** » Fri Nov 19, 2004 7:30 am

I applied for EC at the British Consulate Hong Kong. on the 18-Nov. They had asked me to bring bank statements, HSMP letter, proof of accomodation and passport. I got a call the same day from the officer requesting me to submit my original work experience and degree certificates, which I did on the 19-Nov that is today. Infact I submitted all marksheets and diploma certificates also.

I was told I would be called. I did not recieve any call so I mailed them. They replied saying no decision has been made yet.

Though most of the cases in HK are delt with the same day and since only one other applicant was present today, I am getting a little worried

..
any idea what they are wondering about ???

and btw my passport is valid from 1997 - 2017 .. so the officer asked me if this is my second passport and asked me to submit the old passport. I said this is my one and only passport. When I got a call the officer again repeated the same question and when I submitted the documents again today I was asked the same thing again .. i think they are a little doubtful that I have another passport ..

good luck, stitcher! it seems to me that, because you are not a hong kong national, they are trying to verify the validity of your passport. and this is probably taking time. i hope it is not such a long wait.

btw, is the EC sticky thread meant to be frozen? i tried to post my EC application experience there but it is locked. too bad, because i found to be a helpful thread when i went for EC.
