I think you should have submitted one original document. A copy of passport may not be sufficient. A driving license, 10th passing certificate or PAN card are good support documents.Proof of Age
Notarised copy of my passport

There is no reason why you shouldn't get points for your degree; REC B.Tech should be in the recognized degrees list.Education
Original degree (B.Tech) certificate from Regional Engg College, India

Appointment letter must be 6 years old so it really isn't a proof. Does your employer's reference letter give some information about the work you did? Remember it should be a proof of "Graduate Level" work.Work Experience
I have more than 6 years of full time graduate level experience in the IT industry. All of this experience is from a single company, a leading IT company in India.
Docs provided were Employer's reference letter (Original) and Appointment letter from employer (Original)

Your payslips will not be considered unless they are attested. Whatever is your excuse for this, it can not be considered by the case worker. Remember it’s very easy to prepare a forge payslip so it is imperative to get it attested by the employer.Past Earnings
This gets a little complicated. In 2005-2006, for which I had to show my past earnings, I was in UK for 6 months (onsite for a client) and the rest 6 months in India.
While I was in UK, I was paid my usual salary in India and an allowance in UK. My Indian salary by itself satisfies the income band requirements for India and the allowance provided when in UK satisfies the income band requirements for the UK.
I submitted my original payslips (printouts from company website, which has company logo etc. Company doesnt provide payslips in paper form and getting the print outs signed by HR is not encouraged) for march 2005 - Feb 2006 along with my annual pay revision letters for the same period which specify my earnings clearly.
For evidence of my earnings in UK, I had provided my original work permit documents from Home Office, which states my allowance in UK. I had also attached my bank statements for that period.

As someone already mentioned even last years tax returns slip could be useful here.In past earning, I didnt submit my tax returns because the financial year in India is April to March and I didnt have the tax returns for the period required.
Why, since in the guidelines its given that a notarised copy of passport is said to be acceptable? Do they not go by their own guidelines? Are we supposed to second guess them all the time?I think you should have submitted one original document.
Baffles me completely!There is no reason why you shouldn't get points for your degree; REC B.Tech should be in the recognized degrees list.
Just because a document is 6 years old does it lose its authenticity? I thought it increases it!Appointment letter must be 6 years old so it really isn't a proof.
Yes, it does. It gives the list of job titles I held in the company and what my responsibilities were during them.Does your employer's reference letter give some information about the work you did? Remember it should be a proof of "Graduate Level" work.
If I decide to reapply, I'll take that into consideration, Thanks. Now that am going for the free review I dont know how to convince them of its authenticity is my concernYour payslips will not be considered unless they are attested. Whatever is your excuse for this, it can not be considered by the case worker. Remember it’s very easy to prepare a forge payslip so it is imperative to get it attested by the employer.
The permit documents mention the allowance before taxes. The allowance credited into our account is after the tax is deducted at source. I mentioned this in the description of my evidence and I met the income band for UK after the tax as well.For your UK allowance, I don’t think bank statements by themselves would suffice. Did they match exactly with your work permit document?
Like they say, hindsight is 20/20As someone already mentioned even last years tax returns slip could be useful here.
Just speculating here (a very long shot): the RECs have been rechristened to National Institute of Technology. Probably, you did not mention this somewere? Unlikely though, any verification agency worth its salt should be able to infer that the NIT's were once the REC's.Quote:

Feed information and explain things to these guys, case workers, in such a way that they need not use their brains or move their mule to verify it.rkc wrote:Just speculating here (a very long shot): the RECs have been rechristened to National Institute of Technology.

After all, the REC's/NIT's are among the premier engineering institutes in India next only to the IIT's and IISc...

Age Proof :
1. Attested passport 2. None = So there is no second evidence to prove ur age = 0 points
Education background
1. Only degree certificate 2 None (No marksheets, no provisional, no academic reference) = 0 points
Salary

Work experience
No detailed work experience = 0 points .
Kindly let me know if i have mentioned the correct scenario wrt the documents
I am not sure which documents you submitted are "computer-generated", but the HSMP Caseworker guidance for "Past Earning" stated that if your paystub are printed on a regular A4 paper, it will NOT be accepted.ChaoticDjinn wrote:All documents are Originals / Computer-generated document printouts.

It's instruction for case worker "If BHC is unable to verify the documents, points awarded are always "ZERO"
Congratulations! I know many of us who applied in 2004 had to wait the better part of a year before they would even LOOK at our HSMP application (Let alone decide on it), so we know how difficult and painful waiting a year in the HO queue can be.ChaoticDjinn wrote:I got my HSMP approval in April '07, after an year since I applied.
