I do agree that their policy has changed. Why else would they up the Tier 1 requirement to Master's level. UK workplace has always valued experience and skills more than degrees, so it's just a gimmick to reduce the numbers.dtjesus wrote:
I have a feeling that in the aftermath of current recession the govts interest in foreign workers obviously has changed.
When did you send your application? Another thing could be that there were a lot of students with visas expiring at the end of January, so there's probably a mad rush in Student to Tier 1 applications. I assume WP to Tier 1 remains fairly constant throughout. Perhaps the delays are due to the chaos from the gazillion simultaneous applicants?? Who knows. It is an annoying wait, but it's not going to be forever. Or is it???raxs1983 wrote:mbasmart - my story is 90% identical to you.. i also applied last year March under old style HSMP. got it approved on the first place though, started maintaining balance in november.. my student visa also ran out on 31st January 2009. I was short of 2 days with my 3 months of bank statements. I hav sent in my passport for TIER 1 G criteria for stamping purpose.. lets see when eclipse of "Wait" is over
i hav applied for Tier 1 from Student. I had old HSMP approval. I have no clue how long this process will takE? its a painful ride ??

bcz according to EX-Immigration officer... Awaiting Further Consideration mean....decision has been made and they are waiting some senior officer to have quick look..................................
There is no specific time scale within which UKBA have to respond to your application.. if a matter is getting worse, i.e. if you dnt hear anything from UKBA in more thn 4-5 months, you can get in touch with legal complience team.. http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/conta ... complaint/ is the lunk where u get all the details.kingfahad35 wrote:Any one knows.....what is HO Time Scale for Tier (G).........so applicant who are waiting for longer period can make some official complaint
