Wow.. I find this incredibly confusing. There seems to be contradictory information between the guidance notes and the caseworker guidance.letmec2006 wrote:Hi
The reason they have provided is that the letter from my current university does not say the number of hours/week I have studied, eventhough it does say I do a full time course
thanks
Hi,Lenore wrote:Hi All,
I initially applied for HSMP from the US in early February 08 and was rejected because they could not authenticate some of my pay slips from a part time employer. I provided the following, all of which had corresponding information:
-A printout of my pay info from that employer with a signed letter saying that they could not provide pay slips.
-W-2 Form (US employer generated tax form)
-Tax Return
-Bank Statement
My case was returned to them for review on March 24th and I am anxiously awaiting the result.
I would like to know:
How long does the Home Office usually take with these reviews? Anyone with experience with this issue?
Does the Home Office usually confirm that they received your request for a review? I haven't heard from them.
What should my expectation be for appeal results?
Thanks so much in advance for your advice and thoughts!!

Hi,Saracynth wrote:I am in a similar situation and would appreciate any information.
I submitted my initial application under HSMP in early February 2008. My application was rejected due to insufficient evidence of my income. I submitted my 2007 tax return, my W-2 and my January 1 - December 31 year-to-date wage slip.
I submitted my appeal which was received by the Home Office on March 27th. I have tried calling (only to get the recording telling me which applications they are working on) and e-mailing (only to get a auto-response stating that they will not give status updates because of their high volume.
Is there anyone that has been through this process that can give me an idea as to the approximate time involved? Should I expect a similar turnaround time to my initial application? Thank you for your assistance!
How long it took to get the review decision back?letmec2006 wrote:Got my decision overturned.
Now the next step of applying for FLR.
Thanks for all the help
This forum is really brilliant
Any update on your case yet?Did you actually submitted that letter along with your review form?PLs reply.sethmatch wrote:Wow.. I find this incredibly confusing. There seems to be contradictory information between the guidance notes and the caseworker guidance.letmec2006 wrote:Hi

The caseworker guidance says:
* evidence of the attendance requirements (hours of study per week).
Caseworkers do not need to check that the period of full-time study was with an accredited institution.
Where the hours are defined by the institution as ‘full-time’, then this is acceptable as evidence of this requirement. Where the actual number of hours is defined then applicants must have spent at least fifteen hours per week in organised daytime study in order to qualify for consideration.
If any of this information is not contained in the evidence submitted, then the evidence should not be accepted.
In my case 'full time' happens to be less than 15 hours / week organized study. So do I submit a letter saying 12 hours / week, or leave it out??!!

Seth.
Thanks a lot. I applied for HSMP (review) on 10May 2008 and there is no news yet. It is almost 12 weeks now.letmec2006 wrote:I did not submitted the original letter or any other extra document, since they have all the documents we sent in their database. I just sent the review form and a covering letter referencing the caseworker's guidance.
I applied on 06/05 and got my review overturned on 14th of July.
I know people who got in between 4 to 6 weeks when applied by March and April, mine took more than 10 weeks.
Hope this is useful

And you definetly cant submit any more letter from the university where they would straight away reject your appeal. Did you contact the home office regarding your review.
Call them and ask them that "You wanted to know if your review has reached or not" Mind mostly they may not be true I once called them to ask this the guy said my case is still under consideration but I recieved the letter next day.
Hope you recieve good news soon
