Guys,
Any recent approvals from UK?
Anyone successful on calling HO number? The changed IVR seems not connecting call after selecting the option.

HI,
I have got approval for HSMP under the old HSMP system. Now the process has changed. I wanted to know which is the correct form that needs to be filled for stage 2 i.e. Visa Stamping after receiving approval.
The approval is valid for 6 months. So what the lastest by which i can send documents for visa stamping.
Regards,
Priya

You will come under
Transitional arrangements for HSMP
Depending on where you are (in UK or outside), you will need to use the relevant forms to apply. See
Initial applications
You can apply for EC anytime until the last day of your HSMP approval.(validity is 6 months from date of issue).
regards
Life isn't fair, but you can be!

Dear members
By looking at this thread it looks like 95% of Tier one applications for HSMP are successful.
I have not seen more than 2 cases on this thread which are refused. What I mean to say is that people are not posting their comments who are getting refused.
I would like to appeal all of you that please leave your comments even after getting the refusal letter from HO so that other forum mebers who intend to apply in near future learn something from these objections and prepare their applications more carefully.
Your feedback will be highly appreciated.
Thanks
