Everyone,
This is the updated spreadsheet as of yesterday. I will continue to add data as it becomes available, so if you apply or receive a decision, please post it here so I can add the data.
If your application data isn't in here, let me know and I will add it.
Lynn

dnicky,
your reference number appears to indicate that your application was received by the HO much later, in December. Do you know for sure when they received it?

Hi Lynn,

When I called up HO sometimes during 3rd week of December 2004, had confirmed that the application was charged and added to the queue on 10/12/2004.

There's something fishy there, 'cause the third week in December is when they got to that range of ref numbers. Do you know when they charged your credit card?

I'd the same confusion as you had, as my credit card was charged on 13/12/2004 as per my credit card statement. But as I've previously indicated when I'd called up HO during 3rd week of Dec. 2004, the person over the phone confirmed that my application was considered to be submitted on 10/12/2004.

I had applied on the 23rd September 2004. No response (case No.)received yet. Yesterday I send them a copy of the job offer. My HSMP consultant responded that I should wait for TWO more weeks to hear from them.

Are these time lines right? Its about 6 months since I have applied but no response yet.

i would suggest you contact them a.s.a.p just to confirm that they recieved you job offer and whether your case has been put in the Urgent queue. they used to (i think anyway), start looking at the urgent applications on Fridays everyweek so if they are still doing the same and the job queue is not so long then you cuold very well hear from them in the two week period that your consultant.
Pliz do keep us informed on how it goes as we seem to have lost track of applicants on the urgent queue as there seems to be noone on the forum posting any post in relation to this.

All,
I've seen on another forum that some September applicants are starting to get approvals. It may be that they are working the backlog from both ends. So those of you who are still waiting, there is a light at the end of the tunnel!

I think we had one guy here as well saying they recieved a response, so maybe they are using that 'formula' that someone mentioned, whereby they have two or 3 teams, with one doing the June to August, another doing the Sept to Dec applicants and another looking the Fresh applicant. while it helps sept and october applicants, it must be sickening for the guys in June who are still awaiting. cause in truth if all these resources had been put to tackle the queue in the correct order then they would have completed June, July and possibly August by now

UPDATION OF EXCEL SPREADSHEET

Post by paresh1 » Mon Mar 14, 2005 7:30 pm

Dear Lynn132/administrators

These days the approval dates are following various types of trends. It will be really interesting and useful to analyse the data and check which way the teams of caseworker are assigned the HSMP applications. Hence would you please update this sheet.

I'm afraid I haven't been able to update it in a while, as I am trying to get sorted out to move shortly. I will however put it on my very long "to do" list.

Operational Levels

Post by syedleo » Fri Mar 18, 2005 9:57 am

The HSMP website has been updated on 16th March stating that they are now processing cases of 12th July 2004.

Has anyone past 16th June or July applicant got an approval yet?

Please share.
