EC Approved - Travel Doubts

[h_s_m_p]

I got my HSMP visa valid from Oct 01st (Post Dated). I have got the following queries, Could someone pls share your views

My initial plan was to visit uk during the end of October, stay there for two weeks and then return back to India and give two months two notice period to my current employer and then leave to uk once for all during the end of January. Two things were behind this step:

1) Within 28 days of the visa valid date i want to enter into uk so that my ILR date won't get pushed
2) I don't want to stay in uk during november & december as those months are considered to be a dry one for recruitment.

Now If i don't enter uk within 28 days and travel during January will there be any impact apart from ILR extension. Concerned about the expenses of my initial trip.

Money Part:

I had showed 2.9 lacs in my account during my EC application. Before going to uk i want to settle all my debts in india and go there. For that,

can i use the money which is in my savings account.?
Do they ask for Bank Statement when we enter into uk for the first time?

Will be keeping only 1 lac in my savings account.

Thanks

If you have a valid reason then they will consider your request for post dated visa. Can someone answer my above questions.

Seniors: Correct me if i am wrong...

1. Why do u want to Travel to and fro even if Nov-dec are dry seasons? if you are doing this to save some money staying here... did u consider the flight tix costs? I think once u r in UK in Oct u can find a very cheap shared accomodation and settle in and i am sure u need to do a lot of home work and searching for jobs, setting up bank accounts etc... So give a thought travelling back and fro

2. No once you got ur UK EC nobody will ask you bank statement at the airport or immigration...

3. Do have your medical report with you in hand if not you need to waste 2-3hours at the X-ray dept.. atleast have your X-Ray report for TB..

Good luck mate..
