| Anyone with HSMP Approval Letter applying for Tier1 after 1st April |
|
Hi All
I was discussing wiht BHC and VFS as well about the queries.
I got my approval in the month of february 2008.
I got following information from VFS and BHC.
1.We have to fill VAF 2 form and VAF 9A form as well.In VAF 9A form we have to fill only maintenance section.
2.We have to satisfy the criteria of 2800 GBP in single bank account for 3 months.
3.After that we will get 3 years visa.
I think maintenance criteria applicable for us is not fair.This is a new requirement and we have to unnecessary wait for 3 months time to apply for EC.
Even many aspiring candidates may not be able to apply because HSMP letter may expire by that time if they got it in January 2008.
So i think we should all send e-mail to british high commission saying they should put transitional arrangements for people
having HSMP approval letter.Similar arrangements are in place for UK candidates.For UK candidates till 29th June 2008,they dont have to show 800 GBP for 3 months.If 800 GBP is available in bank account at the time of applying for EC is sufficient.
So similar arrangment should be their for indian candidates as well.
I request all the candidates please bring this point to high commission's notice and request them to do fair job of applying rule for all candidates.So everybody will be benefited.
Please keep posted about the updates you get from vfs or BHC.
regards
Swanand
