Hi All,
My passport has now been stamped with HSMP EC visa for two years. I applied at VFS, Bangalore (to be processed by British Deputy High Commission, Chennai) on 4-9-2006 and got it back on 6-9-1980. No interview for me (probably because i have Schengen visa on my passport? ).
I submitted the following documents (all original):
1. HSMP Approval letter
2. Job Offer letter
2. All documents sent for HSMP as requested by VFS including exp letter from current/previous employers, pay-slips, degree certificates etc.
3. last 3 years tax returns
4. last six months bank statements showing enough funds in my savings account (around 4000 pounds)
5. Hotel booking confirmation for initial 2 weeks
6. Current address proof
I fly to UK in the last week of October. This is one month late than initially planned but then my current employer insisted on me serving two months notice period
. My UK employer has fortunately accepted this delay in joining.
So let me once again thank everyone for their support and help and wish all HSMP aspirants all the very best. I will, of course, be contributing to this forum regularly.
regards
