Hi Guys,
I had one basic question w.r.t EC.
Do the payslips need to be sealed and signed by the company?
I get online generated pay slips, which my company claims does
not need and attestation or letter head.
Pls advice.
Thanks,
M

I have really stopped counting days now!!
Its been a hard month, I think I encountered more holidays than working days, and waiting isn't easy(EC)
Is there anybody else who applied in November and still waiting?

Hi Guys,
I had submitted my EC papers at vfs new delhi on 18th December and my current and previous employer got a integra call on 21st Dec only.Yesterday I Called BHC and they asked me to call around 12th Jan because EC takes atleast 15 working days .
This is very frustration because i had to join in london company on 7th jan 2008 and now i hope I will loose my job and need to serch again if i blessed by BHC .

Hi gnitin78,
You told current and previous employer.
r u talking about the new company ur going to join or your previous and current employers.
I have a question to every body. The company I'm working now is 3rd company, so can I expect call to all my previous employers???

Very much you can expect verification to happen in all the previous companies, but a broad opinion aroung ppl who got their EC before is the verification take place at current employer..
Reg. my case no luck today also..
...any body got some updates wit u.??

india2uk,
Too ambitious
...We still cant able to crack what they send in the email or to whom they send or what basis they send..its very tough to get to this level for finding their email id...anyways if someone can find, its good..but what will you do with it?

Hi marupa,
Congrats on your EC.
So when are you planning to fly?
Thanks for your wishes for us wait-listers:). Considering I applied on 19th December, I think its not my place to start cribbing so soon, right friends?
Cheers

Hi All,
My timelines are
Applied from VFS Chennai : 23rd November
Mailed BHC on 19th December and they informed that they have received my integra verification report.
Called BHC yesterday, they asked me to call next week
But surprise I called VFS today and they said that the passport has arrived.
So I went in and collected
Visa stamped from 3-1-2008 to 3-1-2010
I will be travelling with my family on the 4th week of Jan and I have arranged work from my current employer.
All the best to all in the wait list!!
This forum is rocking, I am sure I would have shelled out a fortune on a immigration consultant if not for this forum

Hi Lion,
MY HR got a call on 18th of december and she did not receive mail by integra people. so if i know the mail id again i can ask my HR to reply to that mail. i called BHC yesterday but they are telling awaiting for the integra report.

india2uk,
integra doesn't send mail in all cases. In some cases only the phone call is sufficient.
By the way the contents of the mail vary. In my case the mail contains scanned copy of my sal slip and offer letter. they only question integra has asked my HR is "Please can you confirm if these are genuine documents?"
For some other folks it has been a long set of questions....

Hey folks,
Just tell me what does this mean..I mailed the chennai BHC toknow my visa status today morning..and was lazing around doing nothing and suddenly i saw i had a missed call in my mobile from BHC.I was taken aback and was thinking why should they call me or am i dreaming.So i decided to call them up again and ask why did they call up and said i had a missed call.They asked me my passport details and verified saying my integra is over,but it will take more than a week for decision making as there is a huge back log.i said ok and asked them again 'if there is anyother reason for them to call me up" and they said i have verified with all the case workers and this is the reason i guess they have called u.(very funny!)but after keeping the fone down i received a mail from chennai BHC stating this
"Dear Sir
We received your application at our office on 12 December 2007. The
turnaround time for HSMP applications is minimum 25 working days at present
due to the Christmas holidays. Please do not call or e-mail regarding the
progress of your application status before 25 January 2008.
Yours faithfully
Casework Section
Fact is i applied only on 17th december and i dont think they have rightly mentioned the date.
Now what should i think!! whether i will get the passport next week or should i wait till 25th to enquire about it again!!

venkatesh.balakumar,
this is so confusing, also for me i had called the BHC today. They said the same story as "huge back logs"..then i asked wt abt the integra report..they said its come, but we wont give the date et.c...
Then they themselves said its more than 1 month now, if you in hurry you can send a fax or email to fasten the decision...
i duno wt to do...

Vidya,
You are right, you can expect the Integra to happpen anytime and please be informed to ur HR...seems Integra is taking revenge to all applicants by sending absurd queries and creating panic...all de best..

i really wonder why they call up just to say integra verification is over but it will take another week to make decision instead of me making the call..lol..perhaps are they pretending to show their dedicated service! lol
