my BA is from Boston Uni in the US. i used NARIC Letter of Comparability....

i personally thought the "certificate of comparability" was a waste of money

i have the same letter which sates... "In addition to your letter of comparability you may wish to recieve a UK NARIC Certificate of Comparability. etc..." i ignored them.

i mentioned the NARIC in my cover letter, and I filed it along with the other education items... even though it's not mentioned in the guidance notes/checklist.

Well freebirds
Well nothing is missing. Man better u get signed the employer letter,so try ur level best for this anyways atleast they r on letter head it might work. Well banks statement are not needed since u providing the ITR and payslip. In ITR make sure it covers the period u r claming 4 earinings point. If u want to attach Banks statments as third proof then make sure the paysllips and transaction for salary transfer in bank are mapped to each other i.e the same figures on both.
Well transcript is not need. Your Original degree + NARIC letter is enough. Moreover make sure Letter from University is on Letter Head and signed.

Regards
Hasan

Hey freebirds,

Surely u can send Additional evidence..See FAQ...

7. Can I send additional documents after I have made the initial application?

You should send in all the required supporting evidence with your application. Failure to do so is likely to lead to the refusal of your application. You may send in additional documents provided they reach the HSMP team before a decision has been considered. Please send any clearly identifiable additional documents directly to the HSMP Team in Sheffield.

freebirds,

Resume is not required with your form.

Important: Do not put things that are not required, this will cause delay in processing the application, and sometimes may lead to rejection, in case they find any inconsistency in the information submitted by you in different documents.
