EC is for my husband who is in Chennai, i want to apply for dependent visa but the problm is that he applied for work permit in 2006 but was refused twice and in the application he did not mention i am in the UK studying in 2006.
so my query - is it goin to be a big time mess for me to apply EC for him to join me in the UK.

i am not very sure on this but what i think is that your husband can apply for HSMP dependent EC. For the previous work permit refusals he should mention only the reason he would have received in written form and do not add anything extra from his side. Since the previous refusals were on the grounds of the ingenuity of the employer in UK and not on the basis of providing incomplete information about you being there, it should not matter much.
