i tend to agree with bani that this topic should be a sticky, however with a more appropriate title of job recruiters as specified.

big congrats on your approval! if you're an out of country applicant you will need to go back to your country for EC.

reference number: 238**
date CC charged: august 6 2004
decision awaited

unfortunately we are now not able to rightly guess hsmp's service levels like we used to do pre- june 2004 when it was all so logical. then one could almost certainly know when his/her case was with caseworker (also through calling them and emails for them to confirm). as a december applicant, going...

kcr-
the way things go now, you may be surprised your decision may come before you even settle down to start the turtous waiting game. i hope it's an approval

i once read some months back on the board or elsewhere that HO was going to embark on a pilot scheme on verification of applicants documents from their home countries. i think china was mentioned as one of the sample countries. perhaps this has already started.

You can actually send additional crucial information to hsmp provided your file has not yet been allocated to a caseworker. quite a few members did this in the past (i did too!). so it's really a good idea to do so if the info will enhance your chances. lynn if you have significantly crossed the poi...

i quite tend to agree with f2k that they definitely cannot still be dealing with june 7 cases but should have moved (to my mind) to july by now. what to me is not right is the failure to update the operational service levels :x at least with that we could be able to pin down one or two of these theo...

the main point is that one does not know where they are now as per service levels for those on the queue. we have now finally stopped hearing about june cases except most of them are not part of the board and are out there.
for july - november applicants, i agree it's just prayers...

someone raised a similar issue some weeks back. to my knowledge the procedure has been for HO to withhold all original documents until a decision is arrived at. asking them to forward your originals before a decision is made may mean withdrawing your application. :roll: the current down side of HSMP...

for late june applicants, i think that you will start getting feelers from middle of february towards the end, provided those 'job offer'applicants don't increase their folds more than the current levels.

hey, let's not forget- from past experience, they may just make a jumbo leap in suddenly updating to 20 june! meanwhile what even happened to the trainee caseworkers that came on booard? fingers still crossed-

yes they may be legally bound to attend to pending applications, having collected the funds but disapproving all pending applications (whether qualified or not) is also a way of scrapping the programme, right?

My spouse EC says. " Visa to ACC Spouse" with this visa can my spouse work or she has to get some new visa? Is it necessary that my Wife should have UK entry with me.. or she can travle/come to UK after me. i plan to go first find job and place and then ask her in 2 months to come Please ...

Thanks.

Congrats kv and good luck with your EC. But could you release more info on your reference number, etc..!

my past two years involvement with the british has really attracted me to them and made hsmp quite worth the try! i find the british to be straight-forward and easy-going

But as far as I remember i provided all the reference letters from both the companies on letter heads mentioning all the req details . Shuma you also need to be sure if you actually submitted the references on letter-headed paper.. there could have been a mix up prior to despatching your package to...

Alagomeji, my countryman, i pray for your success. Dream and pray of approval and it shall be yours.. Amin.

congrats VP, it was quite a tall order to think hsmp will award the 50 points! but there u go... like mwazir has said, it's quite curious no point was claimed for earnings but again it's a question of if it meets or crosses the threshold anyway... wishing u all the best in your EC and new life...pls...

there was someone on this board who reported recently of having received an email of his approval. then followed the approval letter.

my line of thinking on this situation rhymes with that of sarab especially in point 3. may be the caseworker felt the threshold could not be met and came up with that decision.. it would really be helpful to have the breakdown of the scores at any rate.. donot lose total hope yet FromOZ, as long as ...

congrats and good luck on your future en deavours..

it would have been helpful if u belong to a professional accounting body and you are for example chartered. then the role would be incontestable as to it being a graduate level. if so i would expect that you submitted your professional certificate.

Hi Nousky, it ain't over till it's over. you're almost there, just a little more push and you'll make it. just take your time and send the required explanation to close! all the best

wishing u June applicants the very best of luck! i can imagine being pensive at this time! Sergio have u confirmed if your file has not been allocated to a caseworker? my understanding is you cannot send additional docs if already with a caseworker except if requested by HO
