Yes, a format/tips for Entry Clearance would be very helpful!
Question - I've just received my HSMP approval; is the EC a pretty simple "procedural" process, or is it very possible to be rejected?
Also, I'm not yet ready to leave for UK immediately, what's the recommended time frame to submit EC after HSMP, and then leave for the UK once received EC?
Many thanks,

XFS

Hi,

What does officially headed paper exactly mean, is it somethin like "xxx university, regitars office" at the upper left of the letter or sth else?

It would be very nice if sone makes it clear or even put a full sample.

thx,

[niruv]

capwinters,
Original letter mean that it should be on the university(awarding body of your bachelors degree) letter head which should be sealed and signed by the authorities.
