From the feedback on this forum, it seems like number of applications from certain countries like US, Europe etc. are less and hence get to a caseworker desk much faster than applica...

Has anyone come across the situation where your "current" employer was approached for verification by local BHC ??

I am sure lot of applicants do not share this with their current employers that they are applying for HSMP - for obvious reasons :D
