Hi vishal, How did u send all those documents, are you sending them in some plastic file cover or using paper clip to attach all of them ? I don't think Pinning with stapler is a good idea since those are original documents.

Just like mentioned on this

http://www.immigrationboards.com/viewtopic.php?t=15879


Its a good idea to have separate letters for each section. but can any one suggest how to send the whole bundle of documents ?

Thanks

Awaiting your help so i can make my hsmp application.

Hussain

Thanks for the input... but my degree is already recognised by NARIC so certi. not required.

Dear Vishalsunr,

How do you know that ?

I think even if your degree is recognised by NARIC (as would be for so many other institutes from India) you need to get the certificate from NARIC.

Just to give you an example: a number of my friends got their IIM degrees verified (as in they got the certificate from NARIC to that effect) despite the fact that the degrees were recognised already.

Has anyone been successful in getting HSMP approved without submitting a certificate from NARIC?

Vishalsunr, I dont want to confuse you, but it will be good if some other people confirm the same.

I have seen some and read quite succesful story in this forum from people who succesfully claim point without NARIC comparability letter. This is especially tru if you graduate from well known universitiejs in industrialised countries.

HSMP caseworkers get access to NARIC database and they just see whether your universities AND study program is in the database.
If you are 100% sure about the recognisition of your degree, you do not need NARIC asssment. In the gauidance as welll no clause mention that it is a must.

But it is advisible for the following reafsons:
- You will sometimes need it to seek for employment to convince you prospective employers.
-Caseworkers may make mistake overlook what is available onthe NARIC data bases.
- The comparability letter is still quite cheap, until now. I believe it will go up, just a matter of times when the demand is quite high.
