Hi....
I feel all of us here should just relax for a while....cause we all know that the chances of rejection for an EC is not very common....since all of us here have produced original docs and no fake ones....guess all of us are safe.....its just the matter of time....

I still havent got my passports stamped....waiting with fingers crossed....i just felt that this post would help us all feel a little happy n bring a smile upon our stressed face :)

Friends

1.
On my visa as well as on my wife's visa the name is written twice like:

Name Sukhdeep Singh Sukhdeep Singh

how is it on your visas? Is it normal or should we get it corrected?

2.
On our visas Nuber of dependants is written 0(zero)
Is it fine or is it mandatory to get it corrected?

Hi Chandra28,

Any update on your application?.

My case is also similar to you. I have applied on 20th March and initial integra was done on 31st March. But again BHC people directly called me on 23rd March. Today I have called BHC but they are saying still my application is under verification. I am not sure when they will clear my application.

Thanks,
Srini

Hi Sukhdeep,
Even we were sceptical about the number of dependants and when we checked at the VFS on the day of collection, we were advised to submit the passports for correction. But today, we received a call from BHC, saying that it is normal to have it as 0.

So, you need not worry about that :)

Hi,
Integra Screening/Integra Verification is the verification done by VFS Global on the proofs given by you while applying UK Entry clearence.

Documents of HSMP applicants will be forwarded to Integra Screen verification. This process of verifications takes 2 weeks. The visa will be processed only after this verification.

Integra is the professional body, which does this modification. Integra may contact your employer for verification process.

Is there any false document found in your application or there is no clear documentation about your income your application may be rejected.

Section 6.4.10 Net monthly Salary

Post by mathimlr » Fri May 02, 2008 5:15 pm

Hi Mallik,
In section 6.4.10 you give you total monthly take home salary. Calculate the average of last 12 month net salary.

Re: Section 6.4.10 Net monthly Salary

Post by Madhumita » Fri May 02, 2008 7:33 pm

My experience, put your last drawn Net Salary there - thats what I did. I had major fluctuations in salary due to leaves in the last few months and I included the last drawn Net in that section. My application was processed.

To all, I cleared my interview and got the Visa on hand today (I opted for courier). The key question was as to why I changed jobs after receiving HSMP.

Thanks to everyone who supported and gave their inputs. Good luck to all.

From my experience, just ensure that all the documents you place are truthful and be confident if and when you are taking the interview. Also, if you happen to be called for an interview, have a clarity for yourself as to why you are seeking to relocate and are not providing your services back at India when you are so confident that your skills would indeed help in the growth of UK!

Cheers
