EC - VAF1 2004 Non Settlement or VAF2 2004 Settlement

[Ashwin2005]

Can anyone please advise which form we should fill for EC application for HSMP entry

I am seeing from the embassy web site there are two forms available: VAF1 2004 Non Settlement or VAF2 2004 Settlement.

As HSMP holder, we go for settling in UK, then should we fill VAF2 2004 Settlement?

No, VAF1 is the form to use.

VAF2 is only appropriate if the applicant wants a fiancé(e) visa, or a spouse visa (spouse of someone who is a British Citizen or a person already having ILR), or wants an unmarried person's visa (having already lived with someone outside the UK for at least two years).

Also, no doubt the VAF2 form will soon be adapted to cope with Civil Partnerships and a version of a fiancé(e) visa allied to a CP.

All other out-of-UK applications need to be made on the VAF1.

Thanks very much John for the information.
