Current Processing Times - Help us to help you

[ahmadthd]

I submitted my case for HSMP in Sept 07, was refused in Oct 07 due to lack of evidence about studies times during a week. I arranged for the evidence missing and sent the case again on 29-11-07

Received by HO on 30-11-07. as confirmed by Royal Mail.
No confirmation/ref letter received yet.
e-mailed HO many times but no response about he process.
Tried to call the number on website, it disconnects malfunctioning. Do not know what to do about it. Any advice please,

boggie,
I applied on 17th Apr 2008.I haven't heard anything from them yet.Did you apply from U.K or from outside.I applied from Trinidad and Tobago.I enquired from the people whose refrences I had provided no one has contacted them yet.It will make a month on 17th May.I have seen Tier 1 applications taking just about a month.Since Tier 1 has not been rolled out in this part of world yet so I applied under old HSMP scheme.If you dont mind what are the first four digits of your refrence number?Just wanted to compare with mines.
