The HSMP approval letter is valid for 6 months, however, you can only switch from WHM to HSMP once you have been in the UK for 12 months, so you are not going to be able to do this.goldfish wrote:
The letter is valid for several months so you could apply for your LTR after you arrive provided you have an appropriate visa to actually get in, such as WH. I am not sure if the validity of the letter is different depending whether you applied outside or inside the UK. Mine was valid for 3 months when I applied from inside the UK so it should be at least 3 months.
Hi Victoria, is this a recently introduced rule then? because I applied for my HSMP after only being in the UK three months (on WHM), although I qualified based on my AU earnings.VictoriaS wrote:goldfish wrote: The HSMP approval letter is valid for 6 months, however, you can only switch from WHM to HSMP once you have been in the UK for 12 months, so you are not going to be able to do this.
