Qualification & English Lang. evidence in extension appl

[MonaM]

Hi All,

Do we need to send the evidences for Qualification ( if same as in initial application ) and English language requirement in the extension application??

I had my initail HSMP approved in June 2007.

The guidance says that we need not send the documents for the above in extension application.

Can somebody tell me, if it is really OK with UKBA, and if somebody got their extension VISA approved with the above conditions.

Thanks and Regards,
Mona

No need to show any documentation for English Language requirement for extension applications.
You may better carry the original degree certificate, just in case if they asks for it.

Yup you should. The application itself covers it in the relevant section.

no need for english language but i will strongly advice u to do for the qualification and if possible add a letter from the university stating the start and end date of course and the degree awarded.

With this if verification is need (which they do) they can easily get hold of ur department or contact on letter instead of the trouble of going through the university's general enquiries which could take ages.

Was caught up in this yesterday and as a result they could not reach decison on my application as they still waiting for university to confirm detail. I finally manage to get the name of the person they were trying to contact and she did finally emailed them but by then it was too late says HO to proceed on the application - am still waiting their decision and not sure how long it will take.

Although i presented my certificate, they said it only has the day the degree was awarded but not start date.
