Please help me .. Transitional Rules

[Vimal]

Hi,

I have received my initial application approval on 19th March. Thanks to everybody for their support.

Now the rules have changed, I have couple of queries. Can you please guide me on this...

I am currently working in UK and as per my current plan I may go back to India by mid of May. As my plan is still not certain, I am trying to understand the process of EC application from India and FLR from UK.

1) Will I fall under HSMP transitional if I apply after 31st march?

2) If yes, how much fund I need to show.

This is my understanding please let me know if I am correct.

If I apply in India (myself + 1 dep) = (2800 + 2000) = 4800 GBP => Equiv. INR.
If I apply in UK for (myself + 1 dep) = (800 + 600) = 1400GBP.

3) My balance has gone down many times less than 800 GBP. I feel now only option is to wait for 3 months.

4) Is it enough if I get cash deposit on my account and maintain it for 3 months? Since I don’t have so much of cash, can I get this amount roughly 4L from parents and maintain it for 3 months in my account. Will this suffice?

5) In case if I apply in India where do I need to send my documents to satisfy fund maintenance. Do I again send back to UK for or just VFS will do? If this is the case I assume my application will be in 3 stages Initial approval + Fund approval + Stamping

Thanks,
Vimal

Hi I too have same situation...
Got Approval letter 15th Mar, but don't have enough funds in Jan.
So need to wait for 1 month, but may need to goback in May mid.

Guys.. Could anybody please help me in this:

-> Which application do I need to use India, if I want to apply from India
is it same as Tier1 app in the BIA site currently?
if in that case , do I need to send only approval letter & bank statament only or anything else apart from those

-> Can I show other funds other than my bank accounts like chit funds, which are like monthly savings I do in India?

Please...Please... help me

Guys...
I spoke to VFS Bangalore today. As per them I don’t fall in Tier 1. It seems all the people who already have approval letter before 31st March will fall under old scheme itself.
Now I am really confused as official website say something different. Please some one answer to my queries.

Hi Guys,
Since we got approval under HSMP Initial approval.
IF we apply for FLR from UK after 29th feb 2008 / EC from India after 1st Apr 2008, we need to apply thru Tier 1. But still we have option called transitional arrangements. Which is we need to fill up the Tier 1 form, but we can skip the sections for points covering, only thing we need to attach our initial approval letter + need to show Fund proof based on Tier 1 which is £800 for FLR, £2800 for EC. We partly covers Tier 1 for Funds proof.
I Hope this answers ur questions.

Now my question is me applied Initial approval from UK, next month am moving back to india, will apply EC frm india in mid of may or apr 2008.
Can I show my UK's Bank Account for fund proof with the amount of £2800?
Could someone answer for this query?
