Guest_11, I applied for HSMP but didn't send job offers/request for urgent treatment, etc. as everyone else seems to, so basically they never dealt with the application. Eventually I requested my documents back as I got tired of spending hours trying to get through on the phone only to be told 'ah yes, we will process in the next month'.
Anyway, I did get it -- no breakdown of the points awarded. My question is now, how long will they keep my passport - I am currently in UK on working holidaymaker visa - as far as I can tell I can switch status in-country but any advice is much appreciated.
Howsit to my fellow Zimbabwean on the forum, sorry to hear they messed up your documents too. I agree they couldn't give a damn -- why they need to keep originals for a year is beyond me, but hey we're used to queueing for everything else.
