Congrats. Hari does it mean that your case was approved and passport stamped before you sent urgent treatment request. But, HO was jus sitting on those documents and not sending those to you... :roll:

Hi,
I was the silent member of this forums.I got my extension toady
(Initial HSMP approval: May 2006):
FLR application received: 08-May-08
Payment deducted: 08-May-08
Documents returned: 14-Jun-08
FLR approved 3 years: 09-Jun-08

I had referred to JR in the cover letter and also attached JR copy but included all necessary evidence to qualify under Tier 1.HO has given me visa under Tier1.

Thanks everybody for the help

Regards
AJ

Hi Beever
its very frustrating. i hope everything is ok. i see no reason that i will not get approval. its just that this wait is bugging me and i cant stop to think negative.

People lile you Beever who applied before me, are my only hope. Although i wish that you all get your approvals ASAP.

Hey All!! Got my yellow envelope today with great news!!

Type of application : WP to Tier 1 (application within the UK - 90 points + 20 english and funds)
Application Sent : 24/4/2008 (It got rejected right away as payment could not be processed. Although they said transaction denied, the credit card company said there was no record of denial, and everything was normal... who knows... so sent it back on 28/04/08 with postal order)
Application Received: 29/04/08
Payment taken : 29/04/2008
Ref no dated : 24/04/08 (even though I sent it on 28/04/08 again the letter is dated back to 24/04/08. I think they used the same reference number of first intent)
Note: Called them on Tuesday (26.05) last week and a lady said it was in the final stages, and I should hear from them this week... however I haven't!
Decision Made: Yes - Approved
Approval Letter: 28/05/08
Documents Received: 14/06/08

It took them almost three weeks btw approval and receiving it.

All 110 points claimed were awarded. The documents I sent were (all originals):

1. Studies - 30 Points
- Degree
- List of subjects with grades
- UK Naric letter certifying that my degree was equivalent to Bachelors (Honours) UK
- Letter from University stating my degree was made in English, and that I was a student there during the period of study.

2. Salary - 45 points
- UK bank slips
- Employer pay slips for 12 months

3. UK experience - 5

4. Age - 10

5. IELTS (8.5/9) - 10
- Test certificate

6. Funds - 10
- UK savings account bank slips for the last 6 months with enough funds.

I did not include cover letter, but printed an excel spreadsheet with the salary claimed over the period of the 12 months, cross checked with the employer's payslips. I also highlighted the payments into my account on the bank slips so that CW could find them easily.

Good luck to everyone!!
