Sergio can u let us in on the link to this infou quoted? makes an interesting reading.. i really wonder how many june guys are yet to get a decision from HO bearing in mind that they should be well ahead of june 16 from experience..
if true, am not surprised about the july 12 date!!

Finally they decided to let us know what really is going on, (not like we hadnt already figured it out).

HSMP

Service standard: 50% of applications to be decided within 4 weeks of receipt in WP(UK) and 90% in 13 weeks.

Current performance: During February, 58% of new applications were decided within 4 weeks and 85% within 13 weeks. If we need to make further checks or seek additional information, your application is more likely to fall into the category that can take up to 13 weeks or even longer.

We are also working through a backlog of older cases as quickly as possible. The oldest applications now being processed were made in the week commencing 12 July 2004.

If you require an urgent decision, you may submit an urgent treatment request by completing a 'HSMP-Request for Urgent Treatment' form and fax or email to:

hsmp.workpermits@ind.homeoffice.gsi.gov.uk
Fax:0114 259 3827

Sergio, i think what they mean by 12 July statement is that they have completed the June applications

and now looking into those recieved after July the 12th. I think also, that the fact they are now acknowleging this and have said they are working faster thru the backlog might actually mean they are speeding up things for those of us still waiting

Interesting. I am a June 24th/25th case and still haven't heard anything. Sent an email to my immigration consultant and will post when I find out.

Is it for real or more fluff?

Hoping

the wait is over

gunjans:

Here is the link for the urgent processing form you are seeking:

http://www.workingintheuk.gov.uk/workin ... forms.html

Scroll down to the HSMP section and it is the last link entitled: Urgent treatment form (603KB).

Aslo, thanks F2k and Sergio 39 for finding/posting the 16 March press release on the HO confirmation of the 2 tier approval system we all had figured out. If only if I could withdraw and resubmit my application from Sept, I would be home free! (darn Pound appreciation that rules out my abilitity to do so).

hi friends,

I am also an applicant of 29th June from INDIA and my Reference No. is 0216XX,

So far as i remember, is aw that they mentioned thatt hey are processign fiels as old as of Week starting 14th June, and this was i think i read on 17th morning (may be they had updated on 16th late evening), and today surprisingly i saw the date was changed to 12th July. My concern is also same as others in the groyup, where do we 16 June to 12th July people stand now? as the last update said they are processign 16th June applications, and that was last Tuesday (7th March).

Lets see, what happens, i have mailed to HSMP. Workpermit, waiting for the reply,

It could very well be that they processed the june 16 - July 12 applications rather swiftly and the decision letters are either already in the post or waiting to be sent out, i would say that once guys start sending out emails and phoning them we will be in better position to find out the proper position. Also the guys who submitted their FLR prior to November 1 should be expecting to hear their decisions any day now, it will be nice to hear from them as well

Got an email from my immigration consultant and they haven't heard anything. They are going to check into it and get back to me.

Been waiting 38 weeks

so what is a few more days.

I also received an e-mail from my immigration consultant and she said that they receiving back allot of May and June applications.

I am a 1st July applicant. She said that we might here somthing very soon. I would like to agree with f2k, in that they might have decided on the mid June to mid July apps and our decision letters are to besent soon. So check your malboxes....

Could this be light at the end of a 38 week tunnel?

Everybody should post there results and good luck.

Can anyone tell me how to find that March 16 press release -- I have searched in the immigrationboards.com archive, as well as at the HO website -- I cannot find it.

Thank you!

It is very difficult to understand how HO can process applications from 16th June to 12th July in just 2 weeks. It may be a typing mistake, that HO has displayed 12th July on the website, where as each and every one of us is shouting on wrong display of the date on the HO site.
My application was received on the 22nd of June, and there has been no update on the fate of the application made, to any of us.
Another post on the board by talk2ravi states that the applications are being processed by trainees, is it that the older cases have already been looked into by this new team, and the decision letter on its way, which would explain how they have completed this backlog so quickly.

dhavaluk · Post by **dhavaluk** » Mon Mar 21, 2005 8:11 am

IS there any news form anyone having file 16th June onwards?

lightpace · Post by **lightpace** » Mon Mar 21, 2005 6:22 pm

Crossover, let's not complicate issues and just believe what the HO guys are saying.. is it not justified and deserving for this big jump to 12 July after so much despair? i also tend to believe for 16 june to 12 july guys, decisions are on the way

Crossover12 · Post by **Crossover12** » Tue Mar 22, 2005 2:52 am

Lightpace,
I just hope and pray that the HO site has given the correct data.
All this delay started before Christmas holidays, then the long wait for all of us for 8 weeks till the site was updated, and now the Easter holidays are here. If the decision letters have not yet been despatched by this week end, then all of us can wait for another 8 weeks(hope not), and may be another ringfencing act of HO to clear the next backlog.
It all seems that we guys have applied at a very wrong time.
Anyway, has anyone got any decision yet?
I have gone through many of the posts, except for PAUL_SA of 7th March post, who had applied on 18th June, none seems to have received a decision letter yet. Also note that this post is of 9th March and today is 22nd, 11 days and no body has got any decisions for the applications between 16th June and 12th July......just disgusting.

Dear crossover and lighpace,

I just read a post from gunjans, another member on this forum, who seems to be from India. His application was of 23rd June, he recieved a decision yesterday(letter was dated 11th March), but unfortunately he is refused.

It means, there is a move ahead form 16th June, and now i am sure that its definitely 12th July. Lets all wait and prey for the best that we can get.

Cheers...
