Hello

I got approval from HSMP UK. I started to look for job in UK IT market. I am getting very good response and getting almost every day 3 to 4 telephonic interview. Some company would like to take face to face interview, for this I need UK visa. If I go to UK with valid work permit, only to face an interview


[1] Can I come back and work on my current Germany work permit (GC) after interview?
[2] What will be the effect on my GC after HSMP VISA on my passport?



-Kind Regards

Hello Rajesh,
How ling did it took to get the HSMP approval? Is it easy? I have got one problem regarding the point system. Currently I have got more than the required points but in this march I am completing 28 years. So After completing 28 I have got 5 points lesser than the total required points? Is it possible to get the visa in the remaining one month.

What is the procedure?

Hi Magi
I applied under 28 years point systems on 21 Jan 2005 and I got approval on 7th March 2005. It's really easy and gets more benefit if you apply from EU country. Still you have time, fill the form and send it to HSMP team and they should receive your application before you cross 28.

You don't need to apply for visa for this. And if you get approval even u cross 28 u r allow to go in UK.

Send me your email address I can send you form and more details.

Rajesh Singh

Hello Rajesh,
Thanks for the reply. My email id is gmin@rediffmail.com. Should we send the orginalcertificates along with the application

Hello Rajesh,

me too would like to have the details. My email ID is fredjeffry at hotmail dot com.

Thanks!

@rajeshsingh:

Of course you can continue to work normally after the interview in UK. As long as you are registered here and your AE+AA are valid, everything is fine.

For your interviews in UK you'll get ordinary visitor C visa for multiple entries (6 months duration probably); it's typical tourist class visa because you're not allowed to work with it. So, you are treated like you are going on holidays abroad.

The only thing I don't know how it's handled is if you have two parallel jobs, for example the full-time job in Germany and one project contract in the UK. Maybe even that is OK if it's settled where do you pay your taxes (because that's what interests them).

Congrats for your HSMP approval.

1. Yes u can continue working in GErmany after the interview in the UK
2. There is no effect of GC due to your HSMP visa on it.

I am an Ex GC presently working under HSMP in the UK. After getting the approval u need to apply for Entry clearance in the UK embassey in Dusseldorf. You can only keep one option in your mind either Germany or UK. Because at the end of your 1 year HSMP visa you need to submit your professional and economic activities in the UK in order to get HSMP extension for 3 more years. If not, you won't be able to get further extension.

So question of keeping your GC is immaterial if you are serious about UK.

I don't want to discuss about HSMP more here, otherwise Mr. Detlef may think this forum is being used for UK immigration :-).

Drop me an email baskey@gmail.com if you have any questions.

Baskey

"I don't want to discuss about HSMP more here, otherwise Mr. Detlef may think this forum is being used for UK immigration ."

-->Detlef is generous enough not to mind on any matter. Because he is really a well-wisher to all of us.

it is however forbidden to give immigration advice
if one has not registered with the government, this is why this forum would be illegal in the UK :-) ... but not in Germany

what I can tell you is that if you have both stamps in your passport border officers will control you extra carefully because they get confused

Hi All,

Once again me after a year back. I am in UK under HSMP and working with investment banking (IT Sector). After finishing of my first year, I applied for my VISA extension and I got 4 years of extension without any hassle. At the start of London life, it was a bit tough specially if you have lived before in country like Germany. But for carrier wise this made me feel very comfort. Initially I elected to not rock the boat at first stage in the London life, and it worked.

Overall I m very happy but I miss Germany as well.


-Kind Regards

Raj.

HI All,

Sorry to post this here, but I know that there are many pre - German and present UK experts.

I have a initial 1 yr HSMP approval which is going to end on 29.09.06. I am planning to take up a job starting 1st of July. So my question is I only have 3 months again to renew my HSMP and is this 3 months residence enough to prove my living in UK, ofcourse I have a valid work contract unlimited and also have a very good bank balance.

Please some expert advise on this. Can I make evrything possible in 3 months, job I have found, but finding a house, applying for HSMP extension and so on.

May be someone can comment on how easy it is to find a house in London surroundings.

regards
Jackal.

Hi Guys,

1) Should I translate my german work expereince certificate?
2) Where to translate them?

If any one could reply, I would be thankfull.

Cheers

@Jackal

Take a look at the sections:

Requirements for an extension of stay as a highly skilled migrant
Extension of stay as a highly skilled migrant
Refusal of extension of stay as a highly skilled migrant

under this link: http://www.ind.homeoffice.gov.uk/ind/en/home/laws___policy/immigration_rules/part_5/section_1.html?

the main problem is that, in the uk, everytime you spend more than 180 days per year abroad (they are thinking of shortening it to 90 days) the counter gets reset.

However, as long as you have a Job and pay taxes, they tend to be more lenient than in Germany if you have a gap, and it is probable that you get a 5 year extension. (You need 4 for undefinitive leave to remain).

Look for a flat in www.gumtree.com and findaproperty.co.uk, anything less than £100 pounds per week in london in zones 1-2, is usually bad.

@Mohammed

Yes, you should attach as much evidence as possible. You need a certified translation that is accepted by the british embassy.

Got the most professional advice on my HSMP Tier 1 visa from M/S Angel visa services Pvt. Ltd. and got the visa on the first attempt despite having an age difference of 10 yrs. I applied through them in New-Delhi. May be you should also try them as they have a good networking with UK immigration Lawyers. http://www.theangelworld.com

Relax....I guess you are not familiar with the ultra-complex mechanism of women's faculty of thought process.

To help you understand venusians better, here is a story taken out of Bible....

-------The Creation of Woman-------

One day, after a near eternity in the Garden of Eden, Adam calls out to God, "Lord, I have a problem."

"What’s the problem, Adam?" God replies.

"Lord, I know you created me and have provided for me and surrounded me with this beautiful garden and all of these wonderful animals, but I’m just not happy."

"Why is that, Adam?" comes the reply from the heavens.

"Lord, I know you created this place for me, with all this lovely food and all of the beautiful animals, but I am lonely."

"Well Adam, in that case I have the perfect solution. I shall create a ‘woman’ for you."

"What’s a ‘woman,’ Lord?"

"This ‘woman’ will be the most intelligent, sensitive, caring, and beautiful creature I have ever created. She will be so intelligent that she can figure out what you want before you want it. She will be so sensitive and caring that she will know your every mood and how to make you happy. Her beauty will rival that of the heavens and earth. She will unquestioningly care for your every need and desire. She will be the perfect companion for you," replies the heavenly voice.

"Sounds great."

"She will be, but this is going to cost you, Adam."

"How much will this ‘woman’ cost me Lord?" Adam replies.

"She’ll cost you a leg, an arm, an eye, an ear, and a testicle."

Adam ponders this for some time, with a look of deep thought and concern on his face. Finally Adam asks God, "Uhmmm.....and what do I get for a rib?"
