Got HSMP approval after 2nd exceptional review after 6 month

[lion686]

Guys,

Am posting this for my collegue who applied for HSMP with me last year and it got rejected for past earnings..He applied for a review and then it got rejected. but still he dint give up and he went on to go for a exceptional review or complaint..he did this in august 2007. now on last friday on feb 15th 2008, he got the HSMP approval letter.

But the doubts are right now hes working with me in UK on a work permit...he came here on january..please see the following queries.

1) can he apply for Entry clearance by staying in UK itslef or should he go to india for entry clearence?
2) He claimed Indian salary for HSMP initial approval & if he can apply for HSMP visa from being in UK itslef,wil it be FLR??...in tat case he cant submit any payslips since hes getting only allowance here and not payslips...

Seniors Please help in this regard, thanks in adavnce..

1. As your friend is in UK on 'Work Permit', he can shift to HSMP, just by applying for FLR.

Even in the approval letter it would be mentioned clearly:
'Applying withing UK' and 'Applying from outside UK'.

If your friend is on a dependent visa, he will have to go back and get EC.

2. Yes its FLR.... He can show his earning what he get here by means of payslips or bank statements.

Cheers!!!

gauravgupta2808,

hi thanks for inputs.

my friend is not on dependent WP..he is having a valid WP till Dec 2008.now if he can apply for FLR, what proof tat he has to submit, i mean with respect to savings, salary slip etc?

can you please give some details about this?

asim_khan,

my friends claimed earnings with a break of 2 months in between since he chaged companies during this period.hence he dint have paylips..so the HO rejected mentioning the claim is out of 12 month period, which he fought with a complaint pointing to the earlier version of guidance dint tell anytg abt breaks in between...thus he got approved..

Hi lion686,

For income proof : Wage-slips that should be of last 3 months - sealed and signed.
Original Bank statements showing credit of your salary and it would have your bank balance.

In case your saving are in an account which doesnot issue statements, you can ask the bank to issue a letter that <so and so> person is holding account with <so and so> balance...
This is enough to get FLR...

In my case i had sent the FLR team same wage-slips & bank statements that I used to get the initial approval.

Cheers!!
