Hi everybody After my HSMP approval I am in my phase of suitable job search. I need some help to better understand the limitations/flexibilities on the kind of work I am allowed to do. I have done some research on the official HO website / guidance notes and my observations are as follows: 1) Curren...
Hi RajeevC I have had a similar bitter experience with my consultant - although I got my HSMP finally. Such consultants have a very mechanical way of working. In my case I was the one who was providing my consultant with update/info rather than they providing me. I had decided to contact the HSMP te...
I am myself in your phase of job hunting after hetting the HSMp approval. Did you find an answer to this question. I find it very valid and crucial HSMP job hunters.
Hi LA_Mike You may update your spreadsheet with the following important dates as required. 10.12.03 - HSMP application filed 11.12.03 - Letter issued by HO-IND asking for more information 19.01.04 - New documents to prove my seniority were delivered at HO 17.04.04 - HSMP decision made (approved) and...
The long, pensive & painful waiting finally ends. I have got the HSMP approval and the Leave to remain for 1year from 19.05.04. I want to thank all the members of this forum who have helped with their advice & information. I will be happy to answer anybody's question either in the main forum...
Hi Baskaran If you have a valid driving license from your home country you are authorised to drive the prescribed vehicle upto a year from your entry into UK. Infact if your DL is from certain listed countries it could be exchanged for a full UK DL. This is my understanding of about 2 years back rul...
Thanks tdabash Your rational message is quite motivating. You stated: There is one fact that you will get your leave through this consultant Are you certain that a positive HSMP decision has been made? Is your belief based on the fact that the appl/passport have now been sent to In-Country team for ...
tdabash I really dont know how you feel that I should be apologetic to my consultant. The latest on this consultant's quality of service (a consultant in UK): - I had to followup with HSMP team directly to find that my documents have been returned to my consultant and appl/passports forwarded to In...
Thanks for yr response Kayalami A major development. I got an email frm HSMP team that "A letter has been posted on 17.04.04". I called Work permits Customer Relations and they confirmed that it is the decision ltr sent alongwith the documents. They also said that the passports have been f...
Hi Kayalami You wrote: Goes to show that all applicants should make copies of every document submitted to any person in relation to their application I have copies of each document that I supplied to my consultant, but the question is about which specific documents have been finally used / submitted...
Hi Baskaran Since you have claimed 50 points for work experience, you must have proved 10 yrs graduate level job with 5 years senior or specialist level. Could you confirm by which document did you prove your senior level job, and what exactly did the documents show/included to establish your senior...
Kayalami, Joseph & other members Thanks for your previous helpful replies. I was unable to respond to your replies earlier - due to obvious reasons of trying to work forward: getting too stressed waiting! I want to update you breifly about the 'developments' on my case, and would appreciate furt...
Does anybody know about the new MBA scheme, which has probably been announced in the new year 2004 budget? I have read some article in Financial Times, which mentions about it is brief.
Thanks for your replies guys. I think it will be counter productive to get entangled in a tussle with the consultant, at this critical stage. Infacrt I very strongly feel like doing it but I also feel I need to be diplomatic than emotional. I somehow see the possibility of working foreward with the ...
Thanks for your reply Chess I did not doubt my ability to apply direcly, but wanted it to be made the best possible through "professionals". I have instead started doubting the ability of the consultant ! I want to persuade HO to expedite the decision, even on compassionate grounds, but I ...
Hi I would request the experts / regular members to guide me in this critical & totally un-usual situation. I made an in-country family application for HSMP (28+)in Dec'03, through a consultant which is registered with HO. It has been over 3 months now and HO has not made any decision. The chron...
