Ref No : 029XXX
Status : Out of Country(From Dubai) / Under 28
App Recvd at HO : 20th Oct 04
Payment Deducted : 22nd Oct 04
Approval Letter Dated : 21st Feb 05 (The best bday gift ever !! Bday was on 22nd Feb & just turned 28!)
Docs reached Bangalore, India : 5th Mar 05
Points applied for :
Under 28 - 5
Graduate Degree (B.Com from Bangalore Univ, India) - 15
Work Exp (4 years graduate with 34 months specialist exp) - 50 (possibly got 35 for 4 yrs exp)
Earnings (complex case !! I had just moved to Dubai in June 04, so applied for pro-rata. 8 months earnings in India and 4 months Dubai. Tax certs only for 6 months of Indian salary which I calculated pro rata for 12 months but explained everything with clear letter showing calculations which I got my CA to certify and put on his letter head!!) - 35
So thats a total of 105 I asked for ... am thinking worst case I got 5+15+35+25 = 80
I work in the Financial Services sector (currently Regional Head for an leading Asset Management Company based out od Dubai) and there seems to be enough recognition of HSMP among the recruitment consultants as well opportunities (though not at the same level as I lack UK exp - but thats ok!).
I hope all this info helps those who are applying and those still waiting. I know it can be frustrating for the June-Nov applicants ...... I was one of them just a few hours ago. Don't give up and just hang in there ... ofcourse PRAY & PRAY some more !!
Thanks to everyone on this board - can't imagine getting thru this without this board !!
Special thanks to Mini who helped me with lots of urgent questions and ofcourse told me to hang in there !
Cheers !!!!
