Rejection of my HSMP application---how to continue....
hello everyone on workpermit.com, I think everybody is holding a beautiful hope toward UK when applying for HSMP, unfortunately, my application started with a good sign, but ended disappointedly......
I called this application "mission impossible", because it is restrained by several factors, here is my story:
I know this program only at the beginning of this Nov. As soon as I evaluated myself, I set out to prepare for it, because I believe I am qualified, objectively. There was only one thing not ready for me: IELTS.
Thanks to God, I took the exam on Nov. 24 in london, and my english is not bad, so it should be ok. After that, I returned China, to prepare the other materials: Previous earnings--30, age--20(before my birthday 12/12,I was 27), and degree--30. In sum, I scored 80!
The beginning went through very well, I succeeded in sending my application materials as well as my IELTS report to HSMP office on Dec 5th. After my payment was cleared on Dec. 12th, they opened my case. Who ever knows they made the decision on Dec. 14th by mail to me. I had a very bad feeling, it shouldn't be that short! Finally I got the answer: I failed, due to the following 3 reasons:
1. degree certificate not orignal
2. wage slips are not signed seperately
3. bank statement not translated
My god! the degree certificate was made by my university. Hundreds of thousands of students use it to apply for famous university in US, UK......How could it not be genuine? It is not a photocopy!!!! my university made it in both english and chinese, there is a digital register number on it, for anyone to trace.
I have no idea every wage slip should be signed, but I had it sealed seperately, and my HR manager signed on the income letter!
As for the bank statement, I originally meant to use it as an additional provement. According to the guide, only two evidences should be showed, wage slips and income letter from the employer!! I don't have time to translate it under my circumstances.
I hope my story could be some hint to those who are going to apply. however, is there any good idea for me to continue my review process? As for the age, I can't apply for the second time.
I used to trust UK home office is a good judge for every application from all over the world, how could they treat my application so rashily? Should them call me to ask for additional materials or at least listen to my explanation? I felt they were so cold!!!
helpless sad girl
