EC form question

Post by chihhungkao » Sat Jul 14, 2007 1:29 am

Dear All,

In the EC form, there is a section about how long do you intend to stay in the uk?

Just wondering what do you guys put in here?

2 years?

Thanks

I put 2 years, yes...but I was hesitant too! I think that's in there because the application is somewhat generic to accommodate different visa types (so, not just HSMP).

I was approved and was given a 2 year visa, so it seems it worked :D

But conceptually, it seems an odd question...part of me wanted to write "forever," because I very much hope to stay in the UK permanently, but I figured that wasn't what the ECO wanted to see :D

Much more astute than my wording! :D Not that it obviously matters for me, but I wish I'd thought of that ;)
