I have received mail reply today.
-----------------
Dear Sir
Please be informed that your application has not been assessed as yet due to the unusual number of applications we have been receiving. Visa Officers are assessing HSMP applications received in the first week of December 2007. We are trying to deal as expeditiously as possible with the applications.
You may check with us around 28 January 2008.
Yours faithfully
Casework Section
British Deputy High Commission, Chennai.

It seems, applicants who have applied at Vfs, Hyderabad, need to wait some more days..
As per the current rules you need to have 4yrs and 11months continuous stay to qualify for ILR(Which can contain 290 days of break but not more than 90 days of continuous break) , so our situation will be 2(Initial visa)+3yr FLR(Further Leave to Remain), to qualify for this you need to reach UK within 28 days of the visa start date. Thats why I requested for post dated EC so that I can take care of the one month notice period.Jason7777 wrote:Why do you need a post dated EC?
What is the timeline you need to land in UK after getting the EC. I thought you can go in as long as the EC is valid(2 yrs).

My ref number is 777***lion686 wrote:vidya,
good observation...yea hes nt seen here for sometime now..
Also guys me & stevemark had some conversation and thought there is sometg to do with ref numbers that come as reply to emails that we send to BHC...i got a ref number as 776***
Whoever who got their EC recently or waitg can you post this number if you got with you..?

Quiet weird isn't it??
Ia this number for all the BHC across india, we can cofirm this if someone replies from BHC mumbai..
If above thing is correct, may be this 5000 looks reasonable...otherwise i dont see any chance that chennai BHC alone got 5000 applications between 03 dec & 28th dec..
I got ur message clearly..but I strongly feel 2000 HSMP visa wrt 5000 EC is somewhat exaggerated , it should be somewhere around 1000 (coz we have business visas,work permits,travel and familly visas) so we can say 8 per day that is reasonable..considering all the holidays they had it may take sometime for us to get the results I guess..if some one from BHC mumbai can update with their ref number it should cleat our confusion.lion686 wrote:steve,
if 2 Lakhs visa is true, i am not surprised abt the 5000 applications....but if they work with these numbers mainly to take decision, then i thnk we are in deep trouble..cos we can assume the chenai BHC has 30 case worker & say for HSMP there are 5 case workers....out of 5000 thnk there are 2000 HSMP applications...then 400 each per case worker in that month..which means in a 25 working day of a month he has to process 16 per day...if this 16 goes down for this caseworker then the 25 day window will increase...
i thnk i confused..pls bare with me
