zkedar,

We can ask our friends to check the status of HSMP Application. Give to them A-Z details about your application. Atleast we can get idea why they are taking this much of time? (reason of delay). or they are expecting any documents ?... If possible please can make a call me on 09840545208.

Zkedar,

Advance Congrates for EC.


We have strong Address proof in UK. Becoz they will go and check (enquiry) whatever you mentioned the address. you can collect this info from your UK friend, if you have.

You have any confussion in EC, directly go and enquiry about Tier1 EC process at VFS. This link will helpfull more you.

hi kedar,
Regarding you query on what documents to provide for accomodation....
I provided the print out of my accomodation confirmation at the bookings.com.
Dont worry, after you do the accomodation at the bookings.com, you will atlast come to a page where it will ask you to print the page for confirmation of booking, just print the page and keep it to EC docs.. that's more than enough...
in case you cannot take that print out, the same page will be mailed to your email id and you can take a print out from there.
All the very best for your EC.
Take care.
bye.

Thanks and regards,
Sanadana
