Munmun,Munmun wrote:Hi All,
I have been silently following this forum since long.I had also applied for tier 1 (General) and to my surprise I got my passport today .Following are my timelines :-
Application sent -- 11 th Sep
Ack Recieved -- 12th Sep
Payment deducted -- 12th Sep
Visa Stamped -- 9th Oct
Got my papers back -- 22nd Oct
I called up HO last week (17th Oct) and they told me that its under consideration.
All my papers and proofs were from India only but I applied from UK. Was on a work permit then...
One more thing that I would like to share this that the CC was patient enough to tell me the steps of processing a visa, which are as follows :-
1. The application is entered into the database
2. Assigned to a Case worker
3. Case worker then hands it over to his/her manager to cross check all the details.
4. Manager then passes it on to Visa department which takes a week to get it stamped.
Hope this helps..
Thank you all ..
Cheers,
Moon
Just a update herejimmylau8080 wrote:Application Type: WP -> Tier 1 ( General )
Applied From: UK
Posted Application: August 30th 2008
Payment Taken: Sept 1st
Confirmation Letter Dated: Sept 3rd
Assigned to case worker: Oct 1st
I just called HO on Thursday 9 Oct 2008. The customer service seam the phone pass to someone. Guess what that guy says, he says the application is going smooth, will be ready approximately a couple of weeks.
Does it means application approved?
I called one day later. Twice I get the answer 'under consideration'. I a bit confuse now!

Forgot to mention - It is always good if you can attach the proof along with your UTR. It increases the chance of your application being treated as urgent.(This was suggested by HO CC)here4tier1 wrote:Hello Mate - I used the same form, which is on HO website, for HSMP UTR.Sep08T1Applicant wrote:hey here4tier

I have to travel to my home country latest by end of Nov. So, I did mention tht. Also, attached the copy of my flight bookings. Below is what the request looks like -
Reason for Urgent Treatment
Due to unavoidable family matter, I have to travel to my home country, latest by last week of November-08. I would be truly very obliged if you can consider my application under urgent treatment. However, please do not withdraw my application if urgent treatment is not granted.
To insure maximum possible time, I have booked my flight on 23-Nov-08. Attached is with this request, is my flight booking, for your kind consideration. Please do not hesitate to contact me via email/phone /correspondence address, if any clarification is required.
Also, I would be very grateful if you could please acknowledge the receipt of this request form.

I sent my UT on 21/10 and when I called HO on 22/10 they said the application had been passed on to a caseworker on the same day.I did not receive any acknowledgement letter from HO. I am not sure whether the approval on 22/10 was instigated by the UT or not.Sep08T1Applicant wrote:Congratulation Pino
