It will be one year, I applied for a work permit after being here 2.5 years and only received a one year permit.

I got my extension approved without submitting bank statements. They are not a requirement for FLR(IED). All I attached was my latest mortgage statement.

I don't believe I missed the point about the 4 years issue. The point is the HSMP was issued with a promise of ILR after 4 years, they cannot renege on that promise.

They did however have to wait and additional year before they received a passport. Apparently the HO told him that he had to remain in the UK for 275 days i...

I submitted my FLR (IED) last Wednesday and received an acknowledgement of receipt yesterday.

Hi,

You should receive a letter from the HO confirming they received your application within a week of applying. I suppose if you have a photocopy of your WHV (maybe get is certified) and you have the acknowledgement of receipt from the HO you should be legally allowed to work.

Does anyone know of someone who was granted an extension on a menial job?

I have been granted and HSMP about a year ago for a role as an actuarial student. I have since changed jobs and is now working as a developer (for more money). My role requires an actuarial background + is a graduate position. I am also still working with actuaries and am developing the software for...
