Phani,
HO is closed till wednesday evneing. They will open on thursday morning 9 AM. First keep checking your transaction history if payment has been made. After payment has been done, then only your case will be looked into.

Post by chandra28 » Mon Dec 31, 2007 8:55 am

hi, i sent my application on dec 17th and got a mail on dec 19th from ho saying it has reached them and giving me a reference no. But since then I am still waiting and havent got any further news on my application status.
is it genrlly a slow period now or is mine taking a long time? am feeling anxious...

Phani, you can call customer care centre...but reference number will only be provided to you after caseworker starts processing your application. At same time, they will acknowledge you through email or your address depending upon the option you chose while filling application.

Hi Chandra28

First of all you must feel lucky enough to get the mail in time declaring the application reception and most wanted Reference Number. Average processing time taken by CW is 15days which makes it in your case to be 4th JAN 2008. Considering Xmas you can realize the delay induced there in. So you may expect a mail in the first or second week of JAN 2008. Dont worry its normal.

Thanks

Payment deducted : 24th dec 07
Reference number received : 7th Jan 08

Not sure if this means case worker assigned or not. Any expert opinions ?

Guys, some of us in the Dec 2007 HSMP thread have gathered some details about application received date vs reference number to try and track the progress in real time on our own:

Here's the date (application received/payment deducted date) vs reference number tally so far :

18 Dec - 2417xx
17 Dec - 2419xx
24 Dec - 2433xx
31 Dec - 2437xx
2 Jan - 244xx

2419xx seems a bit out of sequence but I guess some more data could justify it. However, 2419xx is the only one which has been decided upon this monday , 7th Jan.

Anyone else contributing reference numbers to make it more meaningful ?

17 Dec - 2418xx

19/20 Dec - 2426xx

So we know that as soon as they reach 19th, they are already halfway to 24th !

Hi I recvd my approval letter along with my documents today from the Home office. But it only says application approved, no mention of the points they hv awarded me. Is that normal , if so how do we fill up the HSMP proforma when submitting for EC?

HSMP application in Dec

Post by for_HSMP » Thu Jan 17, 2008 3:43 pm

Hi All,

My application was recd on 27th of Dec at Home office
Payment deducted on 31st Dec

I got reference Number as 2436XX( out of cunrty- India ) after comunicating with customer care on 11th Jan

- Not sure when the reference no is allocated.

I have been trying to reach the home office people regulary, but not getting any update other than the ref no...

They are telling the time lines has been increaed to 14 weeks from 5 weeks now.....I asked him if this is related to my case..he told they are not providing any progress updates to people but many cases come into this period.

I am wondering if they have made decision already and send the docs to my home town ( which i hv given as my address)....where am not stayng currently.....Dont know if there is anyother way we can track this..any help is appreciated.

Thanks

Hi,

I got a messg from customer care people that, my application is still waiting for a case worker to be assigned. I am afraid, its almost 4 weeks and no case worker is assigned to my application.

Any suggestions to speed up , How can i do the urgent treatment now.
