Did you send in a urgent treatment form, as you were wanting to earlier ??

Try calling again ... tomorrow .. or later ... the person on the phone that time might be more helpful and might tell you your result.

Look at this post http://www.immigrationboards.com/viewtopic.php?t=11418 (by hsmp2006).

Interview call - depends on the documents you submit for EC.
Medical tests - only if you intend to work in certain industry sector(s).

VFS is only for applicants in India - http://www.vfs-uk.co.in/

Re: want to withdraw from university and apply for HSMP

Absolutely correct (if you cannot prove you have passed degree /awarded degree, which anyways is not valid in your case).
