mjshruthi u must call to HO on Tuesday, As they are close before that time.

and its not a 4 digit number, its a 6 digit number. but every one keeps 2 digit at most secret to not to close it to others. as mine is 2509**.....

your number must be different according to the date of payment done.

Best of Luck

or
Its the date when they took the money out

I

have phoned and asked them...... the date at which your application gets processed is based on when the money is actually recieved by the immigration office, not the date they receive your paper work.

Call 01142074074 -
option 3 for work permit ( & not option 2 for HSMP)
then - option 2 for General enquiries about Work permit (& not option 1 for progress)

After about 5 minutes of ringing , there will be a voice mail saying keep references ready, after about a total of 7 - 9 minutes, the call will be attended.

Hope it is helpful.

got my reference email on 18th Feb. Nothing arrives yet...
I can't wait anymore and sent my TIER1(FLR) without approval letter because my student visa expires on 30th March.

Am I in trouble??

I guess Its just a gamble coz

if you get your letter late then it might be a problem
OR
You might have a chance and if if u get it before they start reviewing your FLR application

I have got the same issue as u coz my visa expires on 31st but I have been told by my solicitor to extend my visa to be on the safe side...
