This is definitely not true. Our marriage is less then two years and my application was successful. However to be on the safe side you need to provide evidence for your relationship for the last 3 years (bank statements, bills, est.)

Hope this helps and good luck

HI AxA, I am Bulgarian and my HSMP application was approved after the visa scandal. I don't think that the resent complications with visa applications from Bulgaria and Romania had any implications on the decision process. If you have provided all the relevant documents and they are genuine you don'...

Hi guys I wanted to share with you that I have finally received my documents back with the approval letter the HSMP application and visa. :D This board has been a great help when I was preparing my application, and even more during the long wait for decision.

Hi guys Thanks for the encouragement :D I feel much, much better now after waiting for so long -16 weeks as LA Mike has calculated :) I think my application was quite straightforward - It just happened that about the date when I was expecting a decision - at the start of April all types of visa appl...

Thanks TM,

5-6 weeks sounds quite a lot...

Thanks

Hi guys!! I have just been informed over the phone that a decision has been reached for my application and my passport is submitted to the in-country team to decide on my leave to remain. Does this mean that the HSMP decision is positive? I was thinking that it doesn’t make since for the in-country ...

Good news finally,

However it seems that we are better informed than the visa officers. I have just spoken with HSMP officer who assured me that HSMP applications from Bulgaria are yet on hold.
I guess it will take them a day or to be informed

Yes, no cost, but you ca do it only for an existing number.
You need to ask BT to send you a new, updated copy of the bill with the new name on it. This way you will receive it straight away, otherwise need to wait till you next billing date.

There is very easy thing you can do. Just ask BT to include your name in the phone bill of the friend you are staying with and to send you a copy of the bill with both names.

Hi,

http://www.novinite.com/view_news.php?id=34244
In other articles it is said that the number of visas isued under the ECAA agreement will be reduced, however no details about when exacly the process will be resumed

D

Does any one have info whether these new procedures affect HSMP applications or are just about the visas under the ECAA agreement? Any info will be highly appreciated. I was expecting decision any moment now as 8 weeks have passed since my application was received and I now I don't know what to expe...

If you submit your application before 15-06-1976 you need to use the under 28 years application form and you will be able to claim the extra points for younger age. If you submit it after that date you will need to use the other form

Cheers
