i daresay the letter may not serve the full purpose of the caseworker's job. dont forget the full description of duties and responsibilities must be included for it to fly.

zombie,
dont forget we gave up long ago trying to analyse the working of the hsmp queue. just prepare your mind each time for whatever you see on the HO website.. that makes it real less stressful.

good luck lucky123 (luck all the way)
do keep us posted on your progress, would you?

and let's hope the rate of rejections do not correlate with the high incidence of submissions as people rush to beat the deadline

well i really dont know whether to rejoice about this new date as it might well go back to 10th june from recent experiences

just hang on Alex, in a short while ur ack will be received..

great news there Raghu. that was a pleasant gift for ur bday!!. all the best for ur EC and new life in the UK!!

am with you saint and f2k on this. for june - dec applicants, there's just no theory that can explain the rationale for processing LIFO (last in first out). only the team at HO can explain what is going on.. i would have thought that this system would exemplify what excellent service delivery is all...

indeed i agree with sentient on point 5. a return ticket shouldn't apply in this case

nice one shonolaku!! congrats and all the best for EC and the new challenges of UK. we are still crossing the fingers

in any case larry wouldn't you have made a copy of the filled form prior to sending the package to HO? i doubt if they would accede to your request since they are through with you (positively anyway)

this is really pathetic one cannot really be sure what is going on. it's that bad i guess.. going back to 7 June

well what a way to go i was also hoping to see july something! what an anticlimax. the next question is: now that the movement has started, how regularly will it be?

i am still at a loss to understand the rationale for using a certain month as benchmark for beginning to meet up set targets when indeed you still have backlogs! so, fine you meet up your set targets from dec through january and subsequent months but for goodness sake, you cannot just wish away the ...

i quite share the thoughts of f2k in this. it indeed seems very unfortunate for us june-november applicants but who knows what Providence has in stock for us? pulling out our applications now i dont think will be right at least not for everyone. i also believe things will take a fast track very soon...

further to cosmopol's opinion, i would suggest that if you already comfortably cross the points threshhold (65) without the 10 points in question, you had rather avoid the complications. at least with an approval, you would then play around with the flexibilities.

that was a good one deborah. many congrats on your approval. best wishes for EC and the new challenges of relocation!

yeah i wasnt surprised your approval came so quickly i just had the feeling it would, so also for deborah. many congrats!! good luck for the new challenges!!

well desiguy i really wish this will be the way it goes for it's not been easy for us pre-october applicants. within 4 to 6 weeks from now really sounds good after 8 months waiting

congrats dj- your disappointment turned out a blessing in the end. all the best for the future in UK!!

congrats jills! thanks for sharing the great experience with the members. all the best with your new challenges in the UK. pls keep us posted!

many congrats zahid! all the best for the future.

indeed f2k i wish to share your optimism. i believe since they are actually up-to-date with dec-jan, they should be able to channel more resources to july-august. i think they have very few june left as quite a number of june applicants have been dealt with, leaving possibly last week of june. hopin...

Big congrats there desiguy!! cheers mate!! good luck with new challenges of life in UK!!

sorry i can't quite remember which other countries are involved
