Hi f2k, Many thanks for replying. Yes, I submitted seperate reference letters from Aug'02 to till date. All reference letters were on employer letter heads. I claimed 35 points but the case worker gave me 25 only, the guy to whom I spoke told me Its only for three years graduate level experience not...

Its alright, things happen.
As of now, I am just waiting for the decision letter and documents to reach me.

Could anyone suggest me which one is better, paid appeal or unpaid appeal?

Yeah, I called them twice today. one in the morning and then in the afternoon.

and yes he told me that I got 25 marks for three years graduate level experience and not 35.

I just called them and asked when will I hear about the decision and the guy said a decision is already made and he told me the decision. No they were not at all concerned that I am calling so soon after applying.

Yeah, saint.
I guess thats why they did. The experience I am talking about was in India and then that company transfered me their UK business in 2002. so I guess they considered the UK experience as graduate level whereas indian one as non-graduate.

KCR, yes, my employer reference letters were on the company letter headed paper and signed by my Systems Manager (a very senior post in my company). The company is one of the best in the world. I am not able to figure it out about what went wrong. I havnt received the refusal letter yet. What is the...

Hi Tyce and Denden,

I submitted my application on 8th March,2005
received by Home Office - 9th March,2005
CC charged - 9th March,2005
Email received from Home office with Reference Number - 9th March,2005

P.S. Denden: I dont think the email says anything about the timescales.

Saint, You are right, It is not legal for them to disconnect the phone but yes, the number is always busy. I remember, when I applied for my FLR in september last year, I tried for four days continuosly before getting the HONOUR to speak to them. So, my advice is keep trying and you will get through.

Thanks for your reply
I appreciate Ma'm

BTW: i wouldn't have given u mine either IFF i had one

I knew, thats why I said I wont give you mine..

See Ma'm, I just asked for an approximate time scale from members who had their application approved recently. Why are you taking this seriously?
Is everything alright?

Certainly, I have one.. but wont give it to you.. :-p

I'd rather be a could-be if I cannot be an are; because a could-be is a maybe who is reaching for a star.

Rella, I am facing the same issue. "The top portion of the payment slip asks for a contact name and address. We are using a correspondance address for our bank in the U.S., so that is different than the physical address for the HSMP itself. Is this payment slip address for processing of the ban...

All the best PAUL..
