Seeking Advice for EC

[santosh_kotha]

Hi Friends.

People from this forum helped me a lot to make a successful HSMP application. Now I am looking forward for my EC. I had lot of questions regarding my EC. It would be great if someone could advice on my case. I went through all the posts under this forum but no where I found a case which was similar to mine. So guys.. Pleaseeee help me

I was in UK on working holiday visa for 1.8 years. My visa got expired on 5th Nov and returned back home on the same date. I had worked for one Investment banking on temporarly basis. I showed those earnings for my HSMP application. I showed my earnings only 10 months from Jan 2006 to Oct 2006 (which is enough to get max points). I submitted all original pay slips, bank statements, P60 and P45. Now here is my problem.

I have returned back to India on Nov 5th (on my last day of visa). Since that date I am not working. I have no income. I have joined one institute to learn some courses. I dont have any bank accounts in India. For EC, I think I need to submit recent payslips, referance letter from previous employer and last 6 months bank statements. But in my case, as I am not working at the moment I dont have any payslips and bank statements. I can show only payslips and bank statements upto Oct 2006. I can not show last three months. Morever as I had worked on temporarly basis, I can not get any reference letter from the previous employer. Please answer the following questions.

1. So in my case what should I show for financial support.
2. How can I justify my last three months in my EC application. I mean, how can I support myself that I can finance myslef.
3. Regarding accommodation, is it necessary to show accommodation arrangements.
4. In short, what are all documents should I submit to make successful application for EC. It is much appreciated if someone could list them.

I am going to apply from VFS, Bangalore. Guys, please help me and sugegst me.

Thank you very much,

Santosh

Santosh,

1. Do you have someone in India or UK who can sponsor you financially ?? If not, this could be trouble !!

2. Do you have someone in UK who could provide you with accommodation ? If not, try any of the online hotel booking sites and book acco. for 2 weeks. That's enough for EC purposes. Book something that you can cancel (without charges) later in case you don't need it !
