Hi everyone, Just got my foreign nationals pasport renewed. For some reason the embassy in my home country keeps changing the rules as to how the family names shall be spelled. So my surname got changed a little bit (just one letter). I am going to have an appointment at Croydon in one months time. ...
agree... you only have one attempt.. By the way, this needs to be checked as well. I aseked about it the officer who did the booking for me and she told me that I can book and pass whatever number of tests I like. She said there is no such restriction. I emailed this question to IELTS - lets see wha...
I am in the similar situation. The good news is that you still have 10 weeks even if you don't manage to pass the test before your visa expiry. I called the HO recently and a lady told me that I should book the earliest available test and mention it in the lovering letter and they (HO) will suspend ...
Guys, May be some of you has been in the similar situation... The new rules require IELTS results as a part of the application. I have booked the test on Jan 20, 2007. My visa expires on Jan 01, 2007 but a women from HO assured me that there is a 10 weeks suspension period during which I can pass th...
Hi everyone, Could you please share some information about the SAP R3 market in UK now. Is it good? WIll be looking for a job in this area somwhere in the beginning on the next year. Would really appreciate if you could share some useful tips, links to the big companies running SAP, or SAP intergato...
The same story... I have applied for my EC and mentioned in the covering letter and VAF form the resons behind this. Now they say, you can come and have your visa stamped... And when I asked them about the delay, the lady I spoke to couldn't give me the straight answer about whether I will get my wi...
Hi folks, Let me add my 5 cents here... My history is, prepared and sent via DHL initial documents last year on 27-aug-2004 from Moscow, Russia They have reached Doncaster on 31-aug-2004 After careful reading of this and some other HSMP forums decided to sent them extra docs, cause was not sure if t...
NOt exactly so... Many people have sent additional docs before their case got alloted to a caseworker. In this case they will link your new docs to your file and consider them. Anyway you loose nothing...
In case of refusal you will have it may be on the refusal letter. Or just call'em state your ref number and ask to connect you to the case worker who worked on your case. His/her email would be last_name.first_name, something like this.
I have also applied on 31 August 2005, they said me that it would take up to 12 weeks to process mine. I received this reply 2-3 weeks ago. So do not count on it, the process is not that straightforward. Some who applied in September can get the decision and some who applied in August, or even in Ju...
Hey Jhonny, Sad things you are telling us about your second refusal. I guess you're probably right thinking that the caseworker didn't bother to read all your significant achievement section. You've got a pretty long and solid application, 182 pages, wow!!! And I am afraid that it could have played ...
Hi mdleo01 Yes, I tried sending my additional documents after my main case was received. I submitted my original application last August, and sent my extra docs April 11, 2005. My decision is still to be made, so I cannot tell you about the outcome. But about the aknowledgement, well they didn't sen...
Hi rella and Jhonny, First of all I wish you all the best and hope you'll finally get your cases approved. You both have been struggling very hard, I think you deserve it. And I also want to share my bit of information regarding processing time for june-october poor fellows. I've heard one interesti...
Dear Kotiara, You probably should wait till you get your reference number and then send them your additional documents stating in covering letter that you would like these to be LINKED TO YOUR FILE, given them you personal details along with your ref number. This way they would be able to identify y...
Hi lloyed,
I am also an end-of-August applicant. My decision is still to be made. I am thinking of sending them an Urgent treatment request to push it from a backlog. Not sure what would be better to fax this form or mail it, since I've heard that their fax is not a reliable one.
Dear bob, can you share with us which documents you have sent as notarized copies? Was is your diploma? I have also sent them notarized copies of mine diploma and my spause's diploma, and it was not without reason.... What can they expect, when they process our cases in nearly a year time...!!! I ne...
Dear f2k , when someone sends an Urgent Treatment request, will it be enought to just mention that his case has been processing longer than 4 weeks. I have my application submitted on August 31, 2004 but don't have a firm job offer since I am an out of country and all.. Can I require Urgent Treatmen...
Hi emma_peele, sorry about your refusal. From your previous posts I recall that you sent them some additional papers, didn't you? Do you get your papers back? Did they consider those extra docs you've sent, did they link them to your file? Good luck to you. By the way, I respect your point of view a...
You said you sent your documents on March 31, but they will consider your application as of the date they actually received it, not the date when it was sent.
I think you should take it, there is no use to agrue with them.
The same story. Applied on 27 August, 2004, they received my papers on August 31 and since then they keep silence. I have mailed them additional docs to support my case, do not want to be refused at the end. I haven't sent them originals, only notarised copies, but nevertheless this has been 8 month...
Today I have mailed them additional docs I've collected. I also kindly asked them to confirm the receipt if possible. Lets see if they do it or not. I am a bit confused now, especially because of recent posts about the informational mess taking place at HO. Why don't they provide a couple of good IT...
Was in a hurry...
