It could be nice to see any email responses on this from UKBA, anyone has any? I know, that simple caution does not have to be disclosed for ILR application and it is not a conviction. Yes, it does go on PNC but it is not a part of criminal record as it is not a conviction. I agree with Baker that d...

UKBA being as per its usual, does not explain it anywhere and none of the officers over the phone had any idea....

First of all, I would like congratulate all with HSMP JRs victory. I would like just mention and see if you have any comments on this. Prior to April 1st, 2009, nationals of certain countries(mentioned below) were exempt from UKBA fees towards their applications. Some HSMP holders from these countri...

Hi, could you confirm, if you just have qualified for 4 years ILR or had been extended previously like 1+3+3 and got Tier 1 instead of ILR 4 years before? Thanks I dont' think that makes any difference. I personally belong to 1+3hsmp+3T1. However from my understanding, as long as you got your HSMP ...

Hi,

Thanks

I guess, no much could be discussed till UKBA publish the way it will handle implemention of HSMP ILR JR...

I have enclosed practically all required docs for extension under Tier 1(submitted before JR rule was implemented), but approval was granted under old rules. So It is easier to extend now for old HSMP holders because of less requirements and less docs needed. Thanks Hello, Motor, Congrats! Can you p...

Well, called HO today. They told me decision has been made and docs were sent back to me yesterday and I should get them by the end of the week. No idea, if I was granted(hope, I was!!!!) extension, but will update this post, as soon as I get my docs back. Thanks PS. yeap :D got the docs back and ex...

yes, I guess so. I have applied first with Tier 1 application(should have qualified scoring enough points), but after JR introduction, should qualify for HSMP JR rule as well.

Thanks

Hi All, well, this is seriously sucks!!! I have called BBA yesterday to check on my extension. They checked my reference and said it is still with CW(after two month), they were nice to talk to CW and replied that no decision has been made yet, but will do very soon. NO estimates on when, standards ...

Sure, hope it will work faster now. I will update this post as soon as I get my papers back.

Thanks

I think in the light of recent UKBA announcement on HSMP JR, there was a vacuum created as to how original HSMP extensions are handled now. I have sent my application(as of June 16th and no results yet) for extension according to new Tier 1 rules, but this would be handled under HSMP JR rules now. P...
