apeterso925-- I'm glad that the solicitor isn't concerned, and I hope that you've received confirmation of your payment and so forth! I bet you'll find out something by the end of the month. With his confidence and your middle-of-the-band earnings, I think you should do fine. All that I ask is that ...

gordon, Well, I am going to send a full new application because by the time I received the refusal letter, I had all of, um, 3 days to write a review request and get it back to them before the 28 day timeframe...oh well. Now the problem is the 'reconsideration of the application' is actually a misno...

forhsmp2007--

I emailed the HSMP team, and they said that although they state 'to get verification from NARIC', they will actually do it at the HSMP office. However, I am going to get documentation from NARIC anyway because it might be needed at some point in the future anyway.
good luck--hnbird

update on past earnings from HO--US applicants

I finally received a reply back from the HSMP team. There are a few things that were unclear (at least to me) about past earnings, degree verification, and a few other items that are specific to applicants from the US. (I realize the last question about birth certificates is tedious, but I wanted cl...

Great. Now my idea of the worst case scenario--ignorant and condescending caseworkers--is rearing its ugly head. Well, yesterday I emailed the HSMP office with detailed questions about this and other evidence required in the guidance notes, explaining the problem this poses for US applicants. And if...

Re: Does it have to be minimum 12 month earnings???

American HSMP applicant - past earnings questions

Amy, Thanks so much. Its nice to finally have another set of eyes looking at this from the US point of view. I was beginning to feel a bit crazy, especially since I really don't understand our weird pre-tax system/investment schemes anyway. In the case of the 366 days, you're absolutely right. But d...

American HSMP applicant

[quote="apeterso925"]Heather, Since I don't have approval yet, I'm not 100% sure that what I have will satisfy the HO, but here was my rational for myself in what I sent (I'm a US citizen): 1) birth certificate - you're right, they're not originals and for that reason, I didn't think that ...
