Best of luck.
i'm applying with same fund and letter.

guys - i'm using E-Tax Return - submitted every thing online on cbr.gov.pk and they gave me a digital receipt. This digital ITR and Receipt got me through HSMP initial process. So you can patch in all the ITR documents no matter what they are along with your application. They will server the purpose.

Will the HO give you your status if you ring them? I sent an email but only received an automated response. They won't unless your application is within 14 weeks. The best way to check on it is to ask them - that you want to arrange a pickup and want to see if its ready for you to make arrangements...

3-years degrees are mostly not recognized - they hardly permit 4-years programs equal to Ordinary Bachelors Degree. Don't raise your hopes but do try to get NARIC letter.
