Hi all, I jsut recently got approved and I have some questions on certain things that I hope anyone who just got their HSMP application approved can answer. HEre we go: 1) Timeframe to enter UK I have heard that I have 6 months to enter UK from the date of the HSMP approval. However, I couldn' find ...

Hi all, My application was approved in a relatively quick manner (about 2 weeks from the day the application was received), as shown in these timeline ( OUT of country ): 07/31: app. received 08/01: CC charged 08/15: ref. given via phone 08/17: notified that case has been approved I've come to learn...

Hi all, Yes, that's actually pretty quick. I was also amazed myself! I was actually contacted by HO about the return of the document and they were asking how do they send it via DHL (courier). When I received that email, I was scared s***less since I thought "So fast?? Is my app denied?". ...

Hi all! I just got an email from HO about DHL courier pickup and I was notified that my case has been APPROVED ! Timeline is: 07/31: app. received 08/01: CC charged 08/15: ref. given via phone 08/17: notified that case has been approved All in all, it took 2 weeks from the day the app. is received t...

Oh my bad! :lol: I got employer references for all of my past 4 employers and the current one. All are printed on company's letter head and signed by my Managers. In each letter, I didn't put the job description, but I write my job responsibilities, those that commensurate with the job descriptions ...

It depends. I start tracking these in an Excel spreadsheet. Take a look at the other thread.

DId you call them? That's the best advise I can offer.

You guys are making me worried now! I submitted the following for proof of income:

1) W2 (printed)
2) LEtter of employment stating salary (original)
3) Bank statement for 12 months (printed)

I did NOT submit my payroll slip.

Thanks, guys! I didn't put whether it's an in-country or out-country application since most people just put their timeline and application type. I"ll keep updating the spreadsheet here instead of using Google Spreadsheet so I don't have to invite people, which is probably troublesome for most. ...

I thought a number of people can get their approval by calling the HO office, as shown in this thread? For example, the applicant "rkc" did through phone.

Hi all, Since I got nothing better to do than just sit at wait for my application, I created an Excel spreadsheet showing the processing times for numerous applicant, be it successfull or still waiting. This way, I can see the general overview picture of the processing times. Note that this is not t...

John, Thanks for the link. I did look at that before, but it applies only to nationals of EEA, in which US is not part of it. However, I was also hoping that successful applicant from US can actually give their experience for applying EC from within US. It seems (so far) none of the successfull appl...

Other than earnings, I feel India is 1000 times better than UK with respect to a peacful life, in UK we need to fight atleast once in a day with some orgnaisation to get your money back or to get the service for what you are paying... every organisation including govt will always try to loot your p...

I finally got my ref. #. I was told by the lady the case is assigned to caseworker and will take 25 days, and 70 days if further processing requires.

Oneway,

Did the operator tell you the same thing about this 25 - 70 days?

As a general principle, you apply online, and then follow the instructions on the screen about the supporting evidence .... where to send it .... what to send. Clearly you can enclose Bank Statements with that evidence. Hey John, In term of documents, is bank statements a requirements? I don't see ...

Anyone?

I called HO and finally given the Ref. (NOT the CC ref.# as mentioned above). So my timeline now is: 07/31: application received 08/01: credit card charged 08/09: received credit card ref. # (not HSMP ref#) 09/15: received application ref. # The lady I spoke to said that the case has been assigned t...

What's true?

It's great that they process your application very quickly, Catherineloft! But now I am getting more worried: why the hell is my application STILL STUCK in the "charging" department (see my previous threads above)? My application was received on 07/31 and charged on 08/01, the same time as...

lanwarrior, I sent my tax returns, a letter from my employer stating my income and a letter from my accountant because I could not find my pay stubs after a move. However, after hearing about all the rejections on these boards, I got worried and I searched and found my paystubs and I mailed those a...

Anybody from US who have successfully applied for EC in the last 6 months ?

Congratz, Cuberoot! Just so that it'll help me to predict the chance of my application getting approved, can you let me know if you submit 12 months of bank statement (printed online or original), tax form, AND letter from employer stating your income? My payslip are all online, thus I didn't submit...
