Thanks a lot senspreet1. I can't really understand the way HO works..Ridiculous
I feel my case is pretty straight forward. I have checked up with my current and previous company HR peoples who have stamped and signed on my payslips. They have not a received any call from Home Office till date.
Switching from Work Permit to Tier-1 (General) without dependents
Applied from UK on 21-08-2008
Applied received on 22-08-2008
Reference letter date : 26-08-2008
Payment detected : 27-08-2008
Assigned to the CW : 22-09-2008
Result : Still under consoderation.
Few of the documents i submitted were from UK and few were from India.
Qualification (Masters in Engg.) - From India
Earnings - 9 months payslips and bank statements from UK and for the remaining 3 months from India.
The only concern is that i worked with 3 employers in the 12 months period for which i have claimed points for my earnings. I don't think this is really going to delay my application.
But still wondering why the hell it is taking quite long time.
Keeping my fingers crossed.

If you applied before 30 June your case is getting processed with the 'old' hsmp visas, therefore in theory your waiting time is longer because there are cases from the beginning-middle of the year that are not assessed yet.
For people who applied after 30 June their case are assessed by different case workers and in theory, the turn around time should be quicker as 'oldest' application would be on the 1st of July.
I hope that makes sense. It's what HO explained to me
