EC in Russia

Post by russianbear » Wed Aug 18, 2004 5:06 pm

I’ve got my EC visa yesterday in UK Embassy in Moscow, Russia. :D

They took my docs 2 weeks ago and submitted them to London. 3 days ago they called me and told that I can come and stamp my EC visa.

Yesterday I arrived at 8-00. The clerk took my passport to stamp a visa, but I was asking to postdate it for 3-4 month. I been told to wait, and was waiting till 9-30. Immigration Officer invited me into meeting room and asked why I need to postdate my EC visa. I show my contract with current employer (UK company, actually) which will finish at the end of this year. Immigration Officer told me that EC visa can be postdated only for 3 month, I accepted that. Also I was told by him, that I have not fly to UK immediately, when my visa is started, but can wait other 2 months. It means I have now 5 months to come to UK, which is fine with me 

Good luck to everybody!

You can fly to UK anytime, there is no restriction on that. Flying too late may affect ur chances of getting FLR (other conditions apply).

Hi,Ajay,

what is FLR?

2 months after the date of my EC visa validity will not affect my chances of getting ILR :)
