hi webhunter thanks for your response....webhunter wrote:Well a very lucky few get the approvals with in a week's time and the very unlucky few get the approval after 20 weeks.
So unfortunately, for what ever reason your application has fallen into that category. Since you say, you called them up several times and you know the current status, so I am afraid there is nothing much you can do at this stage than to sit and wait.
There is still nothing wrong in calling them up once in a week to find the status.
As I said on your other post, is your case straight forward?tester wrote:hi webhunter thanks for your response....webhunter wrote:Well a very lucky few get the approvals with in a week's time and the very unlucky few get the approval after 20 weeks.

Can can any other member respond to my questions please?
push_hsmp, I guess not, as i am converting my current WP status to Tier1 (General) and before that i was with another WP in uk itself...so i have more than 2-3 visas stamped on my PP....Not sure if they are digging all the old graves.push_hsmp wrote:

Nangvil, thanks for your comments. My exp with HO has not been smooth either so i guess am used to this kind of treatment from them...however my argument is that one should atleast be informed accordingly if its going to take say 6 months (its already 5 now for me)...how can HO expect that one shouldnt make any travel plans for this long....nangvil wrote:Tester,
I can completely sympathize with your current situation. I submitted my application for Tier 1 extension under HSMP on 29 Nov 08, still waiting myself(albeit not as long as yours!). I've made travel arrangements to see my family next Sunday in Asia, which I don't think is going to happen now.
I called HO yesterday requesting for update, lady on the line told me: Your case is under consideration anything else I can help you with.... that sums it all up...
My previous/present experience with HO is dreadful. Try calling them and you keep getting the same old message that 'all agents are busy'...call back later...disconnect.
Hope you get yours soon, fingers crossed:)
Then it is a straight forward case. Having earlier UK VISA should not be seen as negative (if not positive) unless there was some breach of conditions of earlier leave. Anyways instead of trying to guess whats wrong, the best thing would be to keep chasing HO.tester wrote:push_hsmp, I guess not, as i am converting my current WP status to Tier1 (General) and before that i was with another WP in uk itself...so i have more than 2-3 visas stamped on my PP....Not sure if they are digging all the old graves.push_hsmp wrote:

please take my advice don't withdraw the application.........wait for few more weeks.......GJ10 wrote:Hi Tester,
I had posted my application on the 25th Sept and still have not recieved any reply. Its WP->T1, and i also have visa stamps other then the current WP.
Had sent them two urgent treatment request as i had made travel arrangements in November and December.
Finally around 10th Dec, i recieved letter from them, requesting salary slips for the last three months. HO recieved these on the 15th Dec. Have not heard anything after that.
The current job market is becoming worse by the day and not having the travel document is so frustrating, it makes one feel like a prisoner.
Same as you, i am not sure about my options. I am thinking of withdrawing the application.
Wish you luck.
