EC Application - My Findings

reincarnation · Post by **reincarnation** » Sat Oct 06, 2007 6:49 pm

Q6.8 - 100% sure
Q6.11 - Thinking logically...yes, as you are showing that 3 lakhs is being transfered from your dad and remaining is yours, and also your gift deed says that your dad is helping you out on this, I guess...the answer should be partly funded you and your dad. Well, this is ofcourse thinking logically, but have to hear abt others exp on this forum...

Thanks.

Unfortunately not. The problem is that I have just 1 bank account - HSBC and the balance at the time of application will be around Â£6000. Also in June, July and August there are regular credits of Â£1000 every month.

What I was thinking is that I get my dad to sponsor me initially as there is close to Â£4500 in his account as liquid cash and another Â£10,000 on fixed deposits. As I am single and also have a job offer, will that pose to be a problem.

Also if I show my bank statement for the period I claimed my points on earning (December 2005 - November 2006) will that help. Or do they need the current one.

Please kindly advise

sorry freetomingle i am unable to advice you any further as i strongly feel that one has to show their bank statement irrespective of more funds or less.

you may check with VFS guys or shoot an email to Chennai.VisaEnquiry@fco.gov.uk just asking whether bank statements are mandatory cos i have never come across anyone applying for visa without submitting bank statements.

all the best!

freetomingle · Post by **freetomingle** » Mon Oct 29, 2007 10:36 am

Thanks anyway. I shall of course be applying from Calcutta.

VFS did advise my dad that the bank statements should come either from the applicant or from anyone who is acting as sponsor. But I just wanted to double check.

Finally, do you think this will be an issue.

I have two queries regarding the funds:
1. how much fund and for how long should you have the funds in your Account? I mean If I get approved my load today then would I be able to apply for EC in next week?
2. Can we show insurance, PF, PPF and other savings in funds?

freetomingle · Post by **freetomingle** » Sun Nov 04, 2007 1:40 pm

Hi,

I shall be applying for EC from India very soon.

I have the following queries on the particular section of the VAF 2 Form:

a) Have you ever been refused visa to the UK? - Ifirst came to the UK On a Working Holiday and early this year on a Student Visa. However, I was refused a HSMP initial application thrice before finally getting approval last month. So what should I write there. Is an initial in-country application for HSMP regarded as visa refusal. Please clarify

b) Have you made any application to the Home Office in the last 10 years for Leave to Remain in the UK - Again what should I say here. I first applied for a HSMP in September 2006. Will my previous applications to the home office for initial HSMP approval be counted towards applications for leave to remain. Please clarify my queries asap.

Thanks

No. Initial approvals are not considered as Visa application.

Will my previous applications to the home office for initial HSMP approval be counted towards applications for leave to remain. Please clarify my queries asap.
Was your HSMP approved in 2006? were you an incountry applicant?

Thanks

My last employer may not provide that

Thanks in advance,
