Topic: Anyone with HSMP Approval Letter applying for Tier1 after 1st April
I am applying for Entry clearance this month.
My work exp is three yrs. I have ITR returns for all the three years but for the first year, ITR form is in hindi (SARAL). The akcnowledgement stamp, that we have on ITR form, is in english with all the details (ie. Name, assessment yr, Pan num etc)
Can this be a prob? i contacted my CA and he says that it not possible to get it in english now.
OR
should i file EC with only two years of ITR return (current and last year)? your suggestion will be really helpful. Thx-SAchin |

Amit---
If I were you, i would have taken the chance and filled EC under old rules coz you got the letter in Jan....The new rule should not be applicable by any chance to you...and i have read few posts in orkut by people who got their approval letters in Jan and have applied for EC in the first week of april....
Guys: I might drop an email just to the people who are in transition phase, so that we can exchange our views by reply all...there are lot of alert for HSMP and EC coming in inbox but want dont want to miss any from these people...Please let me know in case you would lke to be a part... |

There was another case like yours , dont remeber the name of the person, he got his approval in Jan...but he did not wait for 3 months criteria and applied for EC.....in mid april
He has not got any decision yet on his .....I think even you can apply for EC as got your approval before 1st april and you fall under old rules....You should go for just VAF2 form and not VAF9.
and moreover you dont have any other option.....This is my understanding.... Regards |

All----
I have read many posts saying that people who have got the approval in April have to manitain the funds (2800) for three months and this is for Tier1 application......
PLease read the link carefully and correct if I am wrong here:
For the people who already have approval letter----
http://www.bia.homeoffice.gov.uk/workingintheuk/hsmp/
""If you already have an HSMP approval letter, you can also use it in your home country, to apply for permission to come to the United Kingdom (known as entry clearance) under either the HSMP or Tier 1 (General), depending on when we close the HSMP in your country""
What I undersatnd from the link below is that it its on our discretion that we want to file EC on the basis of our HSMP or Tier1 (Going straight to Funds Section)...
As we already have HSMP approved under old rules, we can apply for EC filling VAF2 form and need not maintain the funds for three years....(will get viza for 2 years)....We also have option of filing Tier1----going straight to Fund maintenance section of VAF9A form and getting viza for 3 years. For this we need to maintain the funds for 3 months...
Even in our approval letters it mentioned that we can apply for EC under HSMP/Tier1 (General)....
Any comments? |

HI..I called up VFS office and those guys told me that i fall under the old rules...i.e. I have to file old VAF2 form and 9A form for EC....Also, Fund Maintainance of 2800 is applicable for me.....I am bit confused about this...I applied for HSMP in mid Feb and got my approval first week on April.....HSMP approval letter is valid for 6 months out of which i HAVE to wait for another 3 months to maintain the funds in my account... |
