In country EC application questions

Post by cuberoot » Thu Aug 17, 2006 7:35 am

Hi

Does anybody know approximately how long an Entry Clearance application takes to process from within the UK? Will my documentation be returned as with the HSMP application?

Thank you.

I am also an incountry applicant. I have applied on 14th of June and when I call them they said it is still under consideration.
thanks

Thats unbelievably long! Any idea why?

Were you employed when you sent the application for EC? Did you also try get EC for any dependants?

I had applied for HSMP not for EC. as I am incountry applicant and have uk degree so I don't have to go to my home country for EC. I think because of this they are taking that much time. They said my HSMP application is in verification stage.
Does ur HSMP application approved ?
thanks

So you applied for HSMP and EC at the same time? Thats very brave and expensive, but it means that you are confident which is good.

I applied for HSMP recently and was approved, now I am starting to get everything together for the FLR(IED) form for my EC application.
