Urgent!!Lost my reference number letter

HSMPnonJRtoT1 · Post by **HSMPnonJRtoT1** » Mon Apr 13, 2009 4:10 pm

Dear all,

I sent my application (HSMP to Tier 1 G) on 23rd of March, but so far I haven't received my application confirmation letter. But HO has taken the money from my account on 24th of March.

I called them (0870 606 7766) last Thursday and I asked them what my reference number is but what they said is that they cannot give me any information until 6 weeks after i submitted my application.

I have sent a fax to them to request they send my reference letter again. And also I will call them again at the end of this week and call this number 0114 207 4074 as well.

Does there anyone have similar situation as me and how I can get my reference number?

Any advise will be appreciated.

You need not to worry about anything. I have heard of cases where people never got there Reference number and had thir passport stamped. If you do not have your Reference number, I would say your Tracking number (you had when you sent the application by recorded delivery) is more than enough. That can also be used to track/locate your application. If I were you, I will sit back and relax for least 4 weeks frm the time of application

Thanks,
R

Do you mean to say that you can give your Royal Mail consignment number and HO will be able to update the status of your application on the basis of that number?

You can call HO for the same. They will ask you the Royal Mail ref. no (and other secirty details) and can provide you the application reference no at the same time.
Reply from HO depends on condition whether they entertain call before 6 weeks which is pain.

What is the reference number for?

You can't use it to track progress on-line. Maybe you can use it when you ring them, but I would not call them unless sky is broken.

Where else I may need to use the reference number?

Thanks guys,

The reason I need it is that I will need to change my address this week!!! I have to talk to them to change my address.

But without the reference number, am I able to do that?

Do I need to write a letter to them stated that my reference number is not available at the moment and then I provide my details? Are they able to change my address according to the details I provided?

Regards,

You will need to use "Change of Circumstances form" available on UKBA website, to inform the change in your address.

Hi nnj10,

I check UKBA website and there is only "Change of Circumstances form" for tier 1 post study available
http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/worki ... ancesform/

Can I use it for Tier 1 General? Or there is another form for Tier 1 General?

Thanks in advance.
