I'm on HSMP, currently applying for FLR under Tier 1

Posted: 4th March
Application Received: 5th March
Notification/Reference Letter Recieved: 7th March

Still waiting to get it back...

When speaking to the Home Office when I had questions at the time of my application, I got told "about 4 weeks" and also "6 to 9 weeks". Just have to wait really...

Any updates with your poaaport HSMP_2007
People applying on 11th March have received their passports...but their was a complete new Tier 1 applcation. Ours is only FLR application so i guess there is a lot of back log...

th · Post by th » Thu Apr 03, 2008 5:19 pm

Bhumi, where did you get the info for 11th March application status? How would a fresh application (ie: "HSMP"+FLR) would be quicker than just us applying for FLR (initial application)? However nothing would surprise us with the Home Office though!

th · Post by th » Fri Apr 04, 2008 11:25 am

Sorry Bhumi for the confusion. When I said "Got it!" I meant got your URL in the previous message regarding fresh Tier-1 application timeline.

However my timeline is as follow:

Applied on : 7th March
Home office Debit : 10th March
Letter (Reference Number Dated): 10th March
Status: Pending

According to HSMP_2007 timeline, hopefully it will arrive next Tuesday.

Otherwise I will know the delay would be caused by the complexity of my application due to the confusion for sending the dependent forms "separately" which they had asked for Â£395 extra for each dependent.

Fingers crossed.

th · Post by th » Fri Apr 04, 2008 11:27 am

HSMP_2007, you said "Refer: 10th March", do you mean the letter was date on 10th March or you had received it on 10th March? If so, what was it dated? I believe it should be dated on the same day of debit.

No I didn't. So there is a slim to medium chance that they will return my passport stamped but my the dependentS. So it would not Â£395 to me but EACH dependent.

Visa granted from Date of Application? this is strange so if somebody applied 6 months in advance provided he was on 2 years EC and granted 3 years visa starting from date of application so after 3 years he'll be 6 months short of 5-years ILR requirement.
Then he'll have to apply again for FLR just to cover 6 months and who knows at that time it'll be tougher to get points and the fee will be more than Â£1500.
This is insane![/quote]

HSMP_2007 · Post by **HSMP_2007** » Mon Apr 07, 2008 12:17 pm

if you are depending with (2+3) hsmp visa for ILR then you have to apply just 5 weeks before that.

farazfastian · Post by **farazfastian** » Mon Apr 07, 2008 12:35 pm

So are you saying not everyone can apply long way before visa expiry?
