I was reading on the IND website and found the following information. I was wondering if anyone knew exactly what the "Adult Child of British Mother" act of 2002 was considered? Is it Right of Abode or Adult registration? Thanks! The expected average processing time for types of applicatio...

Thanks, I did get the long form I thought it would be longer I guess.

Does anyone know when long form birth certificates were first issued? When I applied for a copy of my mothers BC it was only a single sheet.

YOUR APPLICATION WAS RECEIVED ON 05/05/04 AND HAS BEEN ALLOCATED THE FOLLOWING REFERENCE NUMBER 17***. It has yet to be allocated to a caseworker. The Highly Skilled Migrant Programme (HSMP) Team is currently experiencing a significant increase in the number of HSMP applications. As a result a numbe...

Nadine,

It might help to know your age, total work experience, education etc... It has been my experience that most people applying for under 28 HSMP almost always need a degree. Give further details and I will try to help.

I would suggest that you take what you can get in the beginning. The normal operating procedure is employment at will from the firm doing the hiring. Informed companies are hesitant to offer perm positions to HSMP holders due to the fact that the potential employee may be gone in 12 months. If you c...

"If you have supplied documentaion to extablish that you have a spouse/dependant partner this will be returned to you shortly. " This simply means that if you are married and sent off documentation to support you marriage, the Home Office will be sending your documentation back shortly. Di...

Specialist or Senior Level depends on the amount of time spent at your position and your responsibilities. Looking at your list of positions it might help to know your age, wages, and country. I might also suggest you look at Section 8 on the HSMP form.

It seems to me the process is really beginning to slow down. I think the previous message from HO stated that the were processing applications from Feb 23 and updated of May 25.

My request for a REF number took over 2 weeks. I also faxed 2 job offers along with my request. It did not seem to make any difference. LA_Mike has a great spreadsheet at the top of this page which will give you a general idea of processing time.

All statements made by Kayalami were factual and coincide exactly with what is sited on the HO website. I just went step by step through the HO website and found that Kayalami misrepresented nothing and offered no misleading information. In a similar case to yours, on another forum, passports were r...

I know I speak for everyone who uses this site, Thanks!!

Kayalami, Chess, and all the other gurus have gone out of their way to help most of us, and I for one am very grateful. This forum has helped many a dream come true.

Kindest Regards

When speaking to an agency always ask for a job description. The agencies work and advertise from what the company gives them. But the agencies don't always print exactly what they receive from the firm doin the hiring. Most contracts are not done by hour but by the day. Which should be clarified wi...

Definitely change your resume to CV. The term resume is not very common among UK agencies. I actually have 9 different CV's available to send to prospective employers. After chatting with the agency I can better guage which one to send. From my experience most of the positions posted are usually to ...

Most of the jobs I have been iterviewing for are contract. I have 2 contract offers and 2 permanent positions. The usual questions are what is your availability? What is your notice period? What is your status in the UK? The contracting game in the UK is a little bit different than in the US. Contra...

Kayalami - as always it is great to get a response from the master, I bow to your excellency!

I may have been somewaht lucky but I have had no less than 20 phone interviews. I now have 4 firm offers. For the last 2 months I have sifted through the job world in London and have found that most of my contacts have come from 4 major sites. www.planetrecruit.com www.jobserv.com www.jobsite.co.uk ...

I currently have 3 job offers pending and need to let all of them know next week. I faxed all three offer letter to the HSMP office. Not sure if I should have done that now.

When I first decided to search for work in the UK I thought I needed an HSMP. With help from this forum I found out I qualified for a UK Passport. Since my HSMP will bdecided soon (105 points claimed) I am wondering if applying for both is an issue or should I notify them. The passport letter states...

Do I get an 00 number? If yes then would consider it. I would definitely need an Aston Martin for the signing bonus.

I applied for the HSMP last month. I haave been talking to recruiters and consulting firms about four hours a day since. Here is an interesting issue - I just recently got approved for a British Passport thanks to the BNA 2002 rules having British Mother. Now when I talk to the recruiters and they a...

If you apply in person can you get the passport the same day? I will be applying in the USA Washington DC.

Tnavon thanks for the help.

She was born is Essex. I have read the UK visas website and am still confused about some things. It seems that if your born before 1983 less options are available.

Does it matter that I am the only one left over here (USA).


Kindest Regards,
