HSMP Extention & Judicial Review

[Rashu]

Hi, Can some body help me with this. I got my HSMP Visa according to old point scheme where 65 points were required. I applied in Oct 2006 but got my approval letter on 17th Nov. Though it was according the requirement in place before 7 Nov but the approval letter i received from HO on 17 Nov. Will i be benifited with the judicial review judjment or i will apply my extention according the new rules in place from 5th Dec 2006. Many thanks for help

It would depend on the date on your approval letter I think. Best would be to call Home Office and talk to them

[doubletrouble]

yes you would be eligible as nikhil says double check with the home office

Then why are you (still)unsure?

I applied in Oct 2006 but got my approval letter on 17th Nov.

Doesn't matter if your approval is dated 17th November 2006! You are covered by the JR.

Thanks for your advise Nikhil. I called home office today and as sushdmehta said regardless the date i received approval letter and got visa stamped as long as the HSMP was applied according to old rule, i am affected by JR. And i can apply my extention according to old rules.

Hi All,

I am planning to apply for FLR in early december, as my current stay is expiring early Feb,2009. I have few doubts on this. Any help on this is highly appreciated.

1) Do I need to fill seperate application for dependent (Spouse ) or my application itself is sufficient ?

2) Can I apply for FLR under JR ruling, as my original HSMP approval was in Aug.2006 even though my EC approval was dated in early Feb.2007 ? . Though I seem to be getting enough points as per the latest PBS, I am planning to apply with JR ruling as I have not written IELTS.

Many thanks for your help.
