Entry Clearance Rule

[rajesh9pl]

Hi All,

Does anyone know the rules of Entry Clerance (EC) for those who in different country for long term (Work Permit holders).

I found below text on HSMP guide:
The entry clearance application should be submitted to the British Embassy, High Commission or Consulate in either your country of origin or country of residence. You will not normally be allowed to submit an application for entry clearance in a country where you are based as a visitor or other temporary basis. Where there is no UK visa issuing post in your country of residence or where the nearest post does not issue entry clearances, another UK visa issuing post will have been designated to handle applications. If you are not sure where to apply, any UK mission will be able to advise you.

However, I am not sure if term country of residence includes Work Permit holders (e.g. L1 or H1 visa of USA).

Thanks,
Rajesh.

Buddy,

First you ask for feedback and once it is given you ask for more evidence to substantiate it !!
Bro, do some homework yourself too ..... search the forum

No offence ..... it's just that there are many cases of people on H1B in US who have applied for HSMP and EC from there and have posted their experiences on the forum. You will get your answers .... make an effort to search the forum.

Like I said, no offence meant .... just an advice from a fellow member. I can understand the dilemma, but bro, you got to help yourself more than others can.

regards

Thanks for your reply and appreciate the response. After getting clues from your reply I searched forum and found below:

I like to quote that I wasn't smart on this occassion to imagine this (H1B or H1-B) search criteria. After search, found many threads associated to my query.

Cheers!.
