Initial HSMP visa now 6 months?

Post by Papafaith » Fri Dec 24, 2004 4:24 pm

A friend of mine got entry clearance to come to the UK on HSMP, he was given an initial 6 months visa, that this is the new rule, can someone confirm this and why this change. The visa was issued in Nigeria.
An eye for an eye will make the whole world blind.

Thats must be a mistake by visa officer. Your friend should contact British Embassy/Consulate as early as possible to make it clear that he/she applied under HSMP. 6 months visa is only a visitor visa and is without picture while HSMP visa comprises of 1 year and sticker is with picture of applicant. (as far as i know about my country)
