Morning guys. Its been over 6 weeks I have sent my applic now. I don't think I will be getting answer before next week. I can't understand why does it take so long for a manager to approve the applic. Or may be CC is just chatting rubbish. Neways can't do much apart from waiting

Hi sriaddy its ok no worries

i did fax urgent treatment last friday with the tickets and when i called on monday they said they will try to reply wihtin the given timeframe as we are flying this saturday but no guarantee.

it is the seventh week today.

when called yesterday, they said it will most likely be end of next week but not guarantee either. it is really depressing. i dont know why we are stucked for such a long time. i dont care if it is a rejection coz really want to fly this saturday...anyway...
still waiting

sriaady wrote:Dear beever,

Oh, I am so sorry i missed you out. Did you try telling the HO it is 10 weeks already. I thought somebody in the forum faxed their air tickets and got the application done. why don't you fax your air-tickets and tell them it is urgent.

Just called the Home Office about my application and I was given the standard reply by this nice lady that I should wait for 10 weeks before we give you any progress report.

What she did say that applications up to the 14th of May has been allocated to the case workers and mine was on the 7th, atleast it is being considered I guess.

Anyways the wait continues 8)

I think the delay is with stamping and despatching, that takes weeks and weeks to complete, and its so frustrating, after paying a hefty fee for such a lousy service.

Anyone recently got update for HSMP to Tier 1 visa stamping progress? I sent application on 13-May-08, Payment received/Reference number: 21-May-08.

Is there any difference between Tier-1 New application and HSMP approved to Tier 1 visa stamping processing time? Tier 1 visa stamping should be faster as we already are done with First stage.

DD.

Karthik,

My understanding is as below on the basis of various stories I got from CC:

1) Caseworker does the initial checking ( which in your case can be considered as first check )

2) Then CW would send to his manager for second check ( I did also hear once that it would further go down to manager's manager if required )

Normally when CW does the initial check , it also gets approved same day ( my CW called me on 2nd june saying he is doing initial check and will forward to manager ) . My approval letter is also 2nd June

Hope this helps

Help pls

Post by gautam_309 » Wed Jun 18, 2008 3:02 pm

Hello All,

As this group seems to be very well educated re Tier 1 issues, i thought of putting my scenario to you all and your suggestion will be highly appreciated.

I have applied for Tier 1 visa and on 9th June ( WP to Tier 1), got my reference number and Money has also been deducted from my account. So far so good and by going through this thread i have realised that HO is very efficient in deducting money and sending ref no

My problem is that my WP and so is my Visa is expiring on 3rd July although i know that unless a decision on my Visa application has not being taken my Visa status sataus will remain same (thsi is what i have found from HO website).

But my point is whether my scenario will qualify for an Urgent attention into my Tier 1 application ?

If you guys think that i have chance of getting Urgent attention please let me knwo your thoughts.

Also if someone on this forum can put Urgent attention form and let me know the procedure it will be really helpful.

Hello Qautam,
I think the valid reason for urgent treatment would be like e.g you have a job offer letter thats why you need wp into tier 1. In your scenario, i dont see a point for urgent treatment. Most of us have the same scenario like you.

Search the forum. you will find alot of urgent treatment request templates.

Hi Gautam,

I think we are sailing in the same boat. My WP is expiring on 30th June and my Tier 1 application was received by HO on 4th June. I had a word with the HO regarding urgent treatment for my case but I was denied...I didn't tried hard though...you can try calling them and who knows they might welcome you for urgent treatment.
