Hi, same problem - need help please! I'm using my husbands bankstatements for maintenance requirements (on dependant application). Do I sign section 5 (SECTION 5 - CONSENT to BE GIVEN to UKBA BEFORE REQUESTS FOR VERIFICATION ARE SENT to THE BANK : From the applicant) and my husband the 3rd party sec...
Thanks for all your recommendations. I’ve sent an e-mail to UK Visas in Seoul on Friday morning. In my mail I referred to the UK Border website and to Immigration rule - part 6, which clearly states HSMP transitional holders also qualify for 3 years. I got a call back from the UK Embassy, Seoul wi...
Hi All, I have applied for EC with HSMP letter, dated 17 July, 2008 in Seoul, South Korea. EC was granted, but for only 2 years. I've completed VAF9 docs and wrote on my cover letter HSMP transitional arrangement and also paid the fee accordingly. The new visas rules state it very clearly that EC is...
Received an e-mail from the case worker to arrange courier pick-up. Don't know the status of my application yet! Courier will pick up the documents tomorrow afternoon and hopefully after that H/O will tell me the status. Will not be able to wait until Monday or Tuesday. It's too nerve wrecking! Time...
Look on www.trackitt.com
If you go to "nationality", enter South Africans and you will have a list of SA's who have applied from SA.
There are also lots of info regarding EC from SA.
Hi Sameer, Thant's great news. Please let us know as soon as you get your documents back, so that we can celebrate with you!! For the first time in 4 months I feel more positive about waiting times.

Hi all, I'm from South Korea. I'm waiting for my HSMP letter (not Tier 1). If approved I have to apply for EC. Under transitional arrangement for applicants outside the UK and not from India, do we also have to meet the 3 months criteria. HSMP rules: you have to show that you have the necessary amou...
Seems to me that we are going to wait much longer than 14 weeks. The new message on BIA website: Our service standard is that we will decide: 50% of applications within five weeks 90% of applications within 14 weeks. Due to a high volume of applications received over the past few months, we are curr...
Hi all, My application was received by HO on the 25th of March, payment deducted 26th of March. No ref number received until today. I called HO this morning for my ref. number. Had to change HR manager's contact details for employment verification. According to the lady I spoke to (she was very kind...
Hi there, I find the waiting time for HSMP approvals absolutely ridiculous. Is there no place or person we can complain to? What if all HSMP applicants waiting for answers send complaint letters to the Home Office - or specifically to Ms. Jacqui Smith. You think they will do something about the situ...
