For those people who recently applied/are applying for FLR under HSMP, what is the correct form?

Is it the new FLR 0, which came out for 04/2005 or is it the old FLR (HSM) from 08/2003? Or is it something else?

Thanks!

Just to clarify...

The only thing I showed the immigration official was my passport with the EC visa stamp. I also said that I was arriving for the first time on HSMP.

I had all of the other documentation, but I was never asked to present them, and I didn't show any of it to the official.

When are HSMP visa holders eligible for medical treatment under the National Health Service (NHS)?

I think I remember reading somewhere that it was after 2 months of living in the UK, but I would like to be sure. Does anyone have an official link to this information?

Thanks.

I entered the UK with an HSMP EC visa just over a week ago. I arrived at Heathrow airport. I had lots of documentation with me - original approval letter, all the paperwork I submitted with my application, a detailed 12-month budget, and also a chest X-ray, with a report on what the X-ray showed. Ho...

I got EC today! :D In response to f2K and technician, here is some information about my application: Credit card charged: March 9, 2005 Approval letter dated: March 15 Date letter received: April 7 Reference number: 0368XX I am an out-of-country applicant, from the Caribbean, which is where I am bas...

Very bizarre... As I wrote earlier, I called HSMP today and they told me that they hadn't yet sent out my approval leter. I was puzzled because they told me a few weeks ago that it had been sent out on March 15. Well, I received the approval letter and all of my supporting documents in the mail toda...

Does anyone have a courier service that they would highly recommend, especially for an international delivery?

This is to get documents back from HSMP, not to send stuff to them. Sending is usually pretty simple.

Thanks.

Thanks for your reply, sergio39. It is somewhat disturbing that they cannot keep track of whether or not they still have our documents, especially when they want us to send things like original university diplomas. I'm very glad I decided to send notarized copies instead. As for the fax, I would sug...

I called HSMP on March 18, 2005 and was told that my application had been approved and the approval letter sent out on March 15. The person I spoke to said it should take about 12 days to get to me. I am an out-of-country applicant. More than 3 weeks have passed since the 15th, and I haven't receive...

I think it would be interesting to hear what people think would be the impact on immigraton if Labour loses to the Conservatives in May. How might the rules for HSMP, EC, FLR, ILR, etc be affected, if at all? How quickly would any rule changes take effect? What if the Liberal Democrats won? When you...

I'm in the process of finding airline flights to England, which is where I plan to enter the UK once I get EC. Does it matter which airport I land at (Heathrow, Gatwick, Manchester)? I mean, I'm sure it doesn't matter officially, but practically, are all the immigration officers equally informed and...

Thank you. The number to call is 44-114-259-1894. It is very hard to get through, you have to keep re-dialling. I had to dial in rapid succession 10-12 times before I reached them. Other people have said they had to try about 30 times. However, it is not impossible, you just have to be persistent. I...

I called the HSMP team today, and found out that my application was approved! :D This board has been extremely helpful, so thanks everyone. Here's some info on my application and timeline that may be useful to others: Date application received by HO: March 9, 2005 Credit card charged: March 9 1st co...

What time did you call HSMP yesterday, and on what number?

Did you have to try several times to get through?

Hi indian_in_uk,

Sorry to hear about that. I applied on the same day as you and haven’t heard back yet. However, one thing I did was ask my employers to explicitly state in their letters that a degree (or equivalent experience) was required for the positions I held. I did this because of postings I saw on this and o...

My application reached the HO on March 9, 2005. My credit card was charged on March 9. I received a confirmation email with a reference number on March 10. However, the email also said "We are currently working on applications received on 16/06/04" I'm wondering if that is just a formality...

Hi indian_in_uk,

I applied around the same time.

Did you recive a confirmation email/letter and a reference number?

If so, did the email or letter mention that they are currently processing June 2004 applications?

Thanks!

Congrats, Peter.

Did they send you a letter or email confirming receipt of your application, and giving you a reference number?

If so, did that letter mention that they were currently working on June 2004 applications?

If not, how did you get your reference number (03601X)?

Thanks!
