| Anyone with HSMP Approval Letter applying for Tier1 after 1st April |
|
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? |
