Hi Guyz
Some have private messaged me asking whether I got a reply and forgot to mention it on the board.
Just to give you a brief summary of my case up to now (23 March 2004)
19 January 2004 - Sent out HSMP under 28 application using DHL from Malaysia
21 January 2004 - Arrived at Doncaster office.
22 January 2004 - Contacted HSMP at
customrel.workpermits@wpuk.gov.uk
23 January 2004 - Informed via email that application had arrived, stuck in backlog, would take 6 weeks to be allocated to a case worker. Assigned number 115xx
(Contacted the HSMP twice via same email from then, once after about 6 weeks and once after weeks - no response. Attempted to dial in, all attempts failed)
15 March 2004 - Contacted by HSMP office via email. Decision had been reached. They would send my originals to my friend to return to me in Malaysia via DHL. They would not give the decision letter to my friend.
16 March 2004 - E-mailed HSMP office if could get reply via email. Case worked informed me that against policy to inform via email/fax/phone. Only way was to get decision letter in post. I asked my case worker to send my documents to my friend in London and the letter to me in Malaysia.
17 March 2004 - Documents arrived at my friend's place in London that night. He sent the documents off to me next morning.
Still waiting for originals and decision letter.
This forum has given me much hope and assistance. I hope my experience helps all those aspiring applicants out there. I promise to inform you of further developments. Good luck!!
