Hi F2k,
Thankx for ur reply.
I totally requested 85 and HSMP team awarded me 60 points.
Qualification = 25
Work experience = 35
Significant achievement in your field =0
Partner’s achievements = 0
Two reasons for awarding 0 points by HSMP team for Partner’s achievements category
1. The Master of Arts qualification, gained in Pakistan is not equivalent to a British Bachelor. It is equivalent to a British Higher GCE Advanced.
2. You have not provided sufficient evidence to show that applicant and his wife have been living together at the same address so we are unable to award points for this category.
WHY I THINK THIS DECISION IS NOT CORRECT?
1. Because applicant’s wife has total 17 years as full-time regular education include 16 years for her Master in Arts and One year for her Post-Graduate Diploma in English Language Teaching
I also contacted British council to advise me about the equivalence of Pakistan’s Master of Arts against British degree. They advise me to visit
www.educationuk.org/pk then open the advice link on top bar and then find the equivalence chart for British & Pakistani Qualification.
This chart clearly shows that 16 years of Pakistan’s Master of Arts is equal to First degree Professional Qualification (British Bachelor of Arts).
This chart also shows that British Higher GCE is equivalent to 13 years of study of Pakistan’s education.
Beside marriage certificate (Provided original and attested from foreign office ), I provided more then 15 documents along with my HSMP application in different sections clearly show that the applicant and his wife live together from last 4 years and 10 months.
Following were the documents which I provided at the time of application.Onething more I am living in a combine family system with my wife and son in present house along with my mother and my elder brother family. As this house is allotted to my elder brother by his parent department, the tenancy agreement and all utility bills (Electricity, Gas, Telephone , Water etc.) is on his name and his parent department automatically deduct these bills from his salary every month
Spouse Passport. (On Husband’s (Applicant) Name & Address
Spouse Nation Identity Card (On Husband’s Name & Address)
Applicant Son’s Birthday certificate
Applicant’s Bank Statement
Applicant’s foreign currency Bank Statement
Applicant’s Bank Letter
Applicant’s Passport
Applicant’s National Identity Card
Certificate From Union Council City District Government
Applicant’s Registration With Engineering Council
Mobile Phone Tax And Bill Statement
Interview Call Letter From British Council
Letter Employer
At last I intentionally included a new document (Family doctor certificate) to support my previously provided documents to prove that applicant is living with his wife
not sure what will be the outcome...but I am really optimistic
cheers,
