EC after getting a work permit

Post by lifofifo » Thu Oct 26, 2006 9:19 pm

Currently, I'm in India and I have a job offer from a company in UK. They're ready to apply for my work permit there. And if the work permit is appoved, I'd need to apply for EC here in India. I have some queries regarding the same.

- How long does it take to get EC in India for work permit holder ? I read it's 1-2 weeks for HSMP. Is it same for work permit holder ?

- What are the chances of getting the EC cleared ?

- Any idea on what all documents I'll need to apply for EC ?

Thanks,
Pratik

The guidence notes for applying for EC in India can be found here:

http://www.ukvisas.gov.uk/

If you follow the instructions properly and provide all the necessary supporting documentation you will get your EC without any problems.

The people who usually get rejected are the ones who don't read the guidance notes properly!
In a few years time we'll look back on immigration control like we look back on American prohibition in the thirties - futile and counter-productive.
