it is possible a lot of the May applicants are not part of this forum anyway things may perhaps change when HO eventually moves to June which seems like eternity

it is also possible that these people they "skipped" may have one form of issue or the other to still clear with case workers but that means they should have been contacted by hsmp. in any case sooner than later i'm sure their info will start filtering out of HO.

a big congrats from me mobig, you're one of the few random samplers the team picked on for the trainees to work on..! and i hope the trainees will quickly settle down to face the challenges of the ever-increasing backlogs..

this is great news coming from u noddy! all the best in your EC and future prospects in the UK!

i was responding to an issue on cover letter yesterday where i mentioned that a colleague of mine got his EC earlier this year (in Lagos). Two of them actually but curiously enough the second colleague is still very much around six months after still tidying up! the case i reported yesterday was qui...

Guys, one thing am not quite clear about is that as more applications are spam_do_not_click_here into HO on hsmp, the time it takes to get an approval is lengthened.. the question is for older applicants on the queue, does the waiting time continue to increase from day to day? if for example i submi...

a colleague of mine who made hsmp earlier in the year was not even asked any serious questions by the EC officer in Lagos. he just requested for his hsmp approval letter and in a matter of minutes he was through with his visa interview! i guess it's different strokes...

this is actually an area of interest.. awhile back i was going through jobsite.co.uk's website and there were quite a number of vacancies from Natwest. wouldn't know how easy it would be for an hsmp holder to clinch one of those :?: tgs would u know what sort of qualifications are required in the UK...

Guys, i was almost losing it when try one quoted his ref. no. as 0238XX submitted recently! i am glad this was later clarified as a re-submission. i submitted 2nd august while payment was deducted by HO 6th august with same ref 0238XX. i had to submit additional docs recently from current employer t...

this is a pleasant surprise..! congrats and all the best.. maybe this kind of lucky break may still spread round, who knows..

Sree,

i suspect you may have made a mistake of some sort while at it. i once scored 0 when i was trying out the points calculator but later discovered my error. i suggest you try again..

well this is UK and my thinking is they are strict on required documentation. perhaps there are exceptions as given above..? u never know till you've tried...

Hi, azkhan
i don't think you have a choice here! you must supply hard facts, ie the degree certificate as spelt out in guidance notes to filling the forms. i am not aware of any exceptions. u just might have to wait till it's awarded.

Hi Aromated, Am not sure if we are not digressing from your actual objective. i think your aim is quite okay and informative but my understanding of your request is for those already scored by HSMP :!: and not those still awaiting approval :?: You need to clarify this :idea: in order to put your obj...

Guys,

since the last update of 16th april as at 6th september, i feel 20th april as at 24th september is really slow!

i do agree with much of what tyrex and f2k have said. each person has a different motivating factor(s) to migrate, with accompanying levels of expectations. some of us have faced the toughest form of challenges in our home countries which makes the challenges of life in the UK even pleasant. i for o...

this is not encouraging..are they taking a break or what?

Hi,

by now u should also have an HSMP reference number to your application. u need to send an e-mail to HSMP Team qouting ur details including dob to request for this. u need not be waiting...

Hi Ajay,

it's so great of u to share your fresh experiences with the house which goes a long way to smoothen the path of others still coming up.

pls keep up the good works, i intend to do same if hopefully hsmp comes out favourable..
