Hi Vijay,

I am from Pune, and applied for hsmp last week.

The decision on my application has been taken but not disclosed to me. My documents along with the decision letter are going to be despatched today.

Regards

hi vnvijay, This will be treated as additional evidence and will not be considered. The only way is to explain as clearly as possible the circumstance why this should be given exceptional consideration, and apply for a review. If that does not work, I am afraid you might have to make a fresh applica...

Hi Bhumi,

Please note that they never tell the decision in the email, only that "a decision has been taken on your application".

And recently they have stopped telling decisions on phone, so I am waiting for my documents to arrive to know the decision.

Hi Bhumi, That is really strange. I guess in my case even paying through DD it got cleared within 7 days. A CC should help expediting the payment process. :? I think you should call again and specifically ask for a reference number. However, note that sometimes they directly mail that a decision has...

Hi Sagar, Please find comments inline: My friend did not send his Masters degree convocation as he has not collected the convocation certificate from his University, instead he sent his Masters marks sheet. This should not work, I am not sure how he got 30 points on this. I specifically remember rea...

Hi Friends, I have read on the forum that MailBoxes Etc, is a good way of getting your documents and decision letter back from the Home Office. However, I am a little confused over which courier service (out of DHL, FedEx and UPS) to use for this purpose. Please contribute with your valuable feedbac...

Hi Pawan,

I do not know the decision yet. The mail just says that a decision has been taken.

They have stopped telling decisions on phone.

I will come to know the decision once I receive the documents.

Thanks for your tips on the courier.

Hi All, I just received a mail stating that a decision has been taken on my hsmp initial application. I have been instructed to arrange for a courier pick-up within 14 days.

Hi Friends, These are the timelines for my case: Sent the application from Mumbai: 25th October Reached the HO: 29th October. I have paid the fees thrrough SBI demand draft. I mailed them to find the status of the my application and got the following response: "Dear Sir/Madam Thankyou for your ...

Hi Ent, First of all congrats for the approval. I have a doubt from your post, you said all you have to do now is to apply for FLR. Does everyone have to apply for FLR once HSMP is approved? My understanding was that once you get approval, you just need to apply for EC either with or without a job. ...

Congratulation Sudhi. You made your application yourself? Or did you take help from any consultants?

Good luck for your EC.

Hi Sudhi, That was lightening quick. They arrived at a decision in just a day!!! My application reached them on the 29th, 5 days after yours. But I have not even received the reference number yet. I guess, the reason is I used a demand draft for payment, which takes around a week to clear. Anyways, ...

Hi Sudhi, I paid my application fees by DD, and have not got any response till now. My application reached the HO on the 29th. Do they send some mail saying application has been received and is awaiting payment clearance? I do not have a reference number yet, so is there anyway in which I can track ...

To my understanding, it is only a Exceptional Consideration document, when we are unable to give any of the Birth Certificate and Driving Licence. Thats correct Tilak. Original driving license is enough for age proof. Notarized copy can only be used in case of exceptional consideration. Whether the...

Here are the timelines so far: Application Dispatched to the home office: 25th October, 2007 Application delivered: 29th October, 2007 I have made the payment through demand draft from a nationalised bank. 1) Can anyone tell me ...

Hi ambitions_high, Thanks for your response. This issue is really getting me worried. Can senior members please comment on this? Is there a way to come up with a poll of how many people actually had the home office calling their employees and what are the question they generally seek answers to? Tha...

Hi,

Thanks for your inputs.

Hi, I am planning to apply for HSMP soon. My plan is to try for jobs from India and then get an EC, apply for my wife as a dependant and leave for the UK along with her. Is it possible to do things this way? Whatever posts I have seen on this group, people go to the UK on HSMP, work for some time an...

Hi All, I am an HSMP aspirant from India. I need to know what options do I have for making the payment to the Home Office for my application. I went through the HSMP guidance and found the following: "Cheques drawn in sterling on a UK bank account; UK postal order; or Credit or debit card. Paym...

Hi All, I am planning to provide details of my last 3 employers with my HSMP application. I have the following issues with the same: 1) My present employer does not know about my application yet, and I am not too comfortable disclosing my plans as of now. HSMP is a risky affair, you might not get an...
