Most of which you said is true except for some 5 schools included for UK.
These schools stand no match for the other 45 b-schools

I am interested in withdrawing my original HSMP application.
Does anyone know how long it takes to get the original documents back from HO after an authorized letter?

Thanks

I believe that Home Office is under tremendous pressure. They have updated a new web-page saying New Service levels (on top of 16th March update) and thereby running away from the reality(of giving objective output with numbers - Basically dates). Some messages in the recent days in this forum indic...

I can't believe how the HSMP team can have a training team to do applications for 3 full months and experienced people doing only 7 days (june 10 -june 16) of processing over the 4 full months period.

My understanding of how HSMP is working: based on the approval mechanisms, After christmas, HO totally freezed June 7+ applications (there were practically no updates from June 7+ applications for 2 months) Divided the team and one team concentrated totally on applications from Jan beginning onwards...

Hence you should check with the UK embassy before making your travel plans.

I think of 2 choices: 1. Showing the solidarity(50-100 votes) and send a letter to HSMP HO showing our inconvenience. Most of the applicants are very highly skilled. We all applied based on the 13-24 weeks timeline estimation from HO. But this is not being followed now. There will be short/long-term...

It seems like applying for Working Holiday maker will extend the time by 3 months. I want to make sure if I understand this thing properly. For example, if I am expecting to get HSMP in 3 months and that because I want to go to UK earlier, I apply Working holiday maker visa and go. Now when my HSMP ...
